What is the Daewoo Leganza?

The Leganza was Daewoo’s large family saloon, positioned above the Lanos and Nubira. Its four-door body gave it a more substantial place in the brand’s range. Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign styled the car.

The Leganza was part of Daewoo’s effort to develop a range under its own name, alongside the Lanos and Nubira. It was sold in one generation, with the model code V100.
