The deal between Mercedes-Benz and the Korean manufacturer SsangYong started with the SsangYong Musso and the Kurando SUVs based on older ML platforms.
While the Chairman model wasn’t based on a Mercedes platform, it was still similar to the E-Class and the E-Class older versions when it came to both the exterior and interior designs.
Acceleration was moderate, with power coming from an ageing 3.2-liter 6-cylinder unit that developed 217 hp. The Chairman was a heavy car, thus, the luxurious sedan was not very punchy.
Inside, one could easily notice the Mercedes’ genes in the design of the dashboard, dials and switches.
Interior room was generous, especially for the rear seat passengers that enjoyed many luxury touches such as reclining rear seats, heated and cooled drink-holders and audio and climate adjustments available in the rear cabin.
Equipping the Chariman with more convenience and luxury features rose the Chariman’s price a little high. The Chairman could be equipped with powered driver’s seats, memory seats, heated all five seats, rear parking assistance an a premium quality 10-speaker audio system.
Other options included adaptive cruise control and high entertainment systems.
The safety features available with the Chariman were twin front and side airbags, an electronic stability program and ABS with brake assist.
