The Daewoo Leganza, a mid-size sedan launched in 1997, was a significant step forward for the South Korean automaker Daewoo. It was the first Daewoo model to be developed entirely in-house, breaking away from the company's previous reliance on licensed designs from other manufacturers. The Leganza's design, penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro's Italdesign, was considered stylish and modern for its time, featuring a distinctive grille with a prominent chrome bar and sleek lines. It offered a spacious interior with comfortable seating for five, along with a range of amenities including air conditioning, power windows, and a CD player. Under the hood, the Leganza initially came powered by a 2.0-liter petrol engine, later joined by a 2.2-liter diesel option, offering a good balance of performance and fuel efficiency.

Despite its ambitious design and engineering, the Leganza faced challenges in the competitive global market. Its initial price point, aimed at attracting buyers seeking a luxurious experience, proved to be a barrier for many. Furthermore, Daewoo's financial struggles and subsequent acquisition by General Motors in 2002 cast a shadow over the Leganza's long-term prospects. While it remained a popular model in its home market, the Leganza's international success was limited. Nevertheless, the Daewoo Leganza holds a significant place in automotive history as a testament to Daewoo's burgeoning design and engineering capabilities. It served as a stepping stone for the company's later models, ultimately contributing to Daewoo's position as a major player in the global automotive industry.
