Spy photographers have spotted a prototype for the SsangYong Chairman replacement car testing in Europe. Believed to be a production model of the Wz concept shown earlier this year, the new car is expected to replace the old Chairman model — which was only sold in Korea — and be sold worldwide.
Power is said to come from a 3.6L twin-turbo V6, rated at 365 horsepower. Power will be sent to all four wheels via a seven-speed automatic transmission.
SsangYong intends for its new model to compete with the likes of the BMW 5-series and Audi A6 when it goes on sale. There has been no official time frame given for the launch of the new model, but SsangYong officials indicated that they would like to see a production model of the Wz concept on the market by 2011.
