South Korea, officially the Republic of Korea and often referred to as Korea ( Korean: 대한민국 tɛː Its internal development name was V100, under which it and its platform (not directly shared with any other model) are also known.
Daewoo explained that the name Leganza originated from the combination of two Italian words - elegante (elegant) and forza (power).
Development
The Leganza was a part of Daewoo's effort to develop a lineup of proprietary vehicles to replace previous GM-licensed models. General Motors Corporation ( GM) ( is a multinational automobile manufacturer founded in 1908 and headquartered in the United States. Sister projects to the V100 are the T100 Daewoo Lanos and J100 Daewoo Nubira. The Daewoo Lanos was a Subcompact car manufactured by the Korean Automaker Daewoo Motors from 1997 to 2002 and still made under a license agreement The Daewoo Nubira is a Compact car produced by South Korean automaker Daewoo Motors from 1997 to 2002 The development of "x100" cars involved the work of many subcontractors and suppliers. This involved, among others, ZF with regard to transmissions and Holden concerning the engines. ZF Friedrichshafen AG is a leading worldwide supplier of driveline and Chassis technology GM Holden Ltd is an Australian automaker based in Port Melbourne Victoria.
Leganza was styled by the famous Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign. Giorgetto Giugiaro (born August 7, 1938) is an Italian Automobile designer He was born in Garessio, Province of Cuneo Italdesign-Giugiaro SpA (commonly called Italdesign) is an Automobile design and engineering company in Turin, Italy. It is believed that this design was inspired by Giugiaro's 1990 Jaguar Kensington concept car, a pedigree Leganza's body shares with the 1991 Toyota Aristo. The Lexus GS is a series of Mid-size luxury Sports sedans / Executive cars sold by Lexus, the luxury division of Toyota In case of Leganza, however, Giugiaro had to deal with a shorter vehicle with front-wheel rather than rear-wheel drive, which, combined with Daewoo's styling cues like the large chrome grille, resulted in a very peculiar appearance. Front-wheel drive (or FF layout) is a form of engine / transmission layout used in Motor vehicles where the engine drives the front Wheels
Marketing
Daewoo rapidly expanded their distribution network with the inception of new models, which made the Leganza present in the markets of most countries, albeit not necessarily with sales success. Daewoo placed special emphasis on developing markets, which involved the assembly of Leganzas in countries like Poland, Romania, Russia and Uzbekistan, in plants owned by Daewoo or under license agreements. Poland (Polska officially the Republic of Poland Romania ( dated: Rumania, Roumania Russia (Россия Rossiya) or the Russian Federation ( Rossiyskaya Federatsiya) is a transcontinental Country extending Uzbekistan, officially the Republic of Uzbekistan ( Uzbek: O‘zbekiston Respublikasi or Ўзбекистон Республикаси is a doubly Nevertheless, this concerned CKD or SKD assembly only, as all Leganzas were effectively made at Daewoo's Bupyong plant in Korea.

It is worth noting that, contrary to many Korean cars sold worldwide, the Leganza was almost invariably sold under the Daewoo Leganza name, the only exception being the Doninvest Kondor, a short-lived version assembled by the Russian Doninvest corporation on Taganrog's TagAZ. Taganrog (Таганро́г təgʌnˈrok is a seaport city in Rostov Oblast, Russia, located on the north shore of Taganrog
At the time it was launched, the Leganza was a bit longer than most mid-size European or Asian cars, which is why it was initially marketed as an inexpensive executive car in some markets. Car classification is subjective since many vehicles fall into multiple categories or do not fit well into any
Driveline
The Leganza was a front-wheel drive car, available with a four-door sedan body only. Front-wheel drive (or FF layout) is a form of engine / transmission layout used in Motor vehicles where the engine drives the front Wheels The Leganza was powered by Holden-sourced E-TEC II DOHC 16V I4 engines (two displacements were made using the same block and bore, differing in stroke):

Replacement
Contrary to Matiz or Nubira, the Leganza was not afforded a mid-life facelift, so there was no "V150" model (the xx50 designations are used by Daewoo to indicate facelifted versions of xx00 models). The Daewoo Matiz is a City car produced by the South Korean automaker GM Daewoo that has been marketed worldwide since 1998 A facelift is the revival of a product through cosmetic means for example by changing its appearance while leaving its underlying Engineering or Design Rather than that, Daewoo increased the wheelbase of the V100 platform by 30 mm (1. 2 in) to develop a new model, called Daewoo Magnus (V200), which was launched in 2000. The Daewoo Magnus is a Mid-size sedan developed and manufactured by Daewoo Motors until its purchase by General Motors, and now built for Both models were sold side by side in Korea, and the Leganza got a small update (front grille) in 2001 - but the Magnus has not been launched internationally until Leganza's demise in 2002, effectively replacing it. Daewoo ceased North American sales by then, so the V200 was released as the Suzuki Verona in the United States and Canada.
