The Ssang Yong Chairman is a full size luxury sedan made by the South Korean automaker Ssang Yong Motor Company. A long-wheelbase model is also available, and it is favoured by some limousine operators in South Korea. In 2008, the Chairman was renamed Chairman W to differentiate the new model from the older Chairman H, as both are still in production.
Our spy-photographers now snapped what appears to become a minor facelift for the Chairman W. The changes seem to incorporate a new design of the grille, bumpers and headlights as well as modified taillights and a new boot lid.

Ssang Yong presened their flagship Chairman W in 2008, and it is equipped with a 5-litre V8 engine and a 7G-Tronic by Mercedes. It has an electronic air suspension system with a rebound coil that helps reduce noise and vibration, as well as an extended rear passenger space and the front and rear both have their own screen to control the car's entertainment system. The Chairman W is the first Korean luxury sedan to apply a four-wheel drive system, a feature common in high-end European sedans.
