Hyundai is entering new waters with their luxury sedan Genesis, due for its hwo debut soon, and SsangYong is not far behind.

The Carfanatic quotes Choi Hyung Tak, Ssangyong’s CEO: “We’ve thoroughly analyzed the Lexus LS430, Audi’s A8, BMW’s 750 and other potential competitors for the launch of this model. Our aim is to compete with those world-class models, not with large local models.'’ Which leads us to believe that this SsangYong luxury sedan will be marketed worldwide.

The SsangYong Chairman W will be powered by a 3.6 liter or 5 liter V8 gasoline engine coupled with a seven-speed transmission. Stay tuned for more when it becomes available.
