SsangYong Chairman H

1997 – 2003

The SsangYong Chairman is a full-size luxury car manufactured by South Korean automaker SsangYong from 1997 to 2017. Originally released as a high-end executive sedan in 1997, it was the company's only sedan model, with SsangYong traditionally focusing on SUVs and RVs. The first generation of the Chairman was based on the Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W124) platform but styled to resemble a modernized version of the W140 S-Class, a design choice that garnered attention and controversy for its similarities to the upcoming W220 S-Class from Mercedes-Benz. In 2008, the original model was renamed Chairman H, coinciding with the introduction of a new model known as Chairman W. The Chairman H and W models aimed to combine luxury, comfort, and performance features to compete in the upscale luxury sedan segment. The SsangYong Chairman was designed to cater to the needs of high-end consumers, offering a spacious interior, advanced technology, and sophisticated styling. Key Points: 1.
