Daewoo Statesman
GM DAEWOO INTRODUCES NEW STATESMAN .... GM Daewoo yesterday introduced its new flagship model and first large car, the Daewoo Statesman. Based on Australia's most popular long-wheelbase sedan from Holden, the Statesman combines the best of two worlds. It offers the styling, features and driving characteristics of an imported luxury car along with the competitive price and extensive aftersales service that only a domestic brand can offer.
The Statesman has been upgraded exclusively for Korea. Among the unique features are heated front and rear seats, which provide a cozy ambiance during even the harshest winter conditions. Among the other amenities is a fuel information display that shows how far the car can run on the current amount of fuel and the exact fuel economy at any given moment. Dual DVD screens in the backs of the Statesman's headrests provide cinema-like picture quality and sound, which can be played through individual headphones or the sedan's 12-speaker sound system.
The Statesman features GM's latest five-speed automatic transmission, which is the same transmission that is used in Cadillac products. The multifunctional unit provides more power and thus better acceleration. The fuel-efficient normal mode is perfect for everyday driving. The active select function enables the driver to change gears by simply using his or her thumb to control a paddle on the steering wheel.
The Statesman will offer the most extensive VIP warranty and aftersales package in the Korean market among both domestically built and imported cars. Service will be available through GM Daewoo's conveniently located nationwide network of service centers. The price of the Statesman will be between KRW 40 million and KRW 50 million, depending on the engine and trim level. GM Daewoo will announce the exact retail prices closer to the start of sales. Statesman sales are expected to begin in late May.
