GM sold the badge-engineered product under the Daewoo brand in selected markets where the Korean brand was better known than Chevrolet or Holden, such as this Statesman.
When General Motors designed the European Opel Omega, it used its platform for several other vehicles, including the Australian Holden Commodore/Statesman, the American Cadillac Catera, and the Daewoo Statesman. The latter was offered in specific markets in an effort to keep the Korean brand up and running.
The Statesman featured a different front fascia than its siblings that were built on the long-wheelbase version of the GM's W platform. Thus, it featured a grille with vertical slats, known as " waterfall " on other brands." The angular-shaped headlights were narrow and featured HID lamps, with additional foglights installed lower in the apron. Strangely, the car also featured a badge on the hood, obviously for markets where the safety regulations allowed that. It was not only elegant, but the vehicle's clean design was almost timeless.
The Statesman's cabin was fitted with luxurious amenities. Along with the Nappa leather seats and the dual-zone climate control, the car boasted eight-way adjustable front seats and, thanks to the long wheelbase, plenty of legroom for the rear passengers. The Blaupunkt sound system, also present in Holden Statesman, featured headphones for those seated in the back. Last but not least, the center armrest featured a table with cup holders.
GM sold the Daewoo Statesman in Korea fitted with a 3.6-liter V6 powerplant mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. The car also featured front and rear parking sensors and turn signals in the door mirrors as part of its technical package.
