The Daewoo Leganza is an executive car (E-segment),[6][11][7][10] sometimes classified as luxury large family car (D-segment), that was manufactured and marketed by the automobile manufacturer Daewoo. The Leganza was available as a front engine, front-wheel drive, four door, five passenger limousine[5][8][9] in South Korea over a single generation for model years 1997-2002 and internally designated as the V100.
The Leganza replaced mid-size luxury car Daewoo Prince[12][13] and was succeeded by the Daewoo Magnus (V200) using a new version of the Leganza's platform. The name Leganza was a portmanteau of the Italian words elegante (elegant) and forza (power).[14]
