No, this is not an S-Class, but a Ssangyong!

Ssangyong Chairman CW700

We found this Ssangyong Chairman CW700 at Bas Vans. One small note, though: this is a T1 vehicle. The vehicle is from outside the European Union. If you want to use this vehicle within the European Union, you have to pay import tax. It costs 16,900 euros, excluding VAT and BPM. So why include this Ssangyong in an article anyway? Simple: it is extremely rare and you have probably never seen it before.

Engineering from Mercedes-Benz

The Ssangyong Chairman CW700 is equipped with an XGi3600 engine with a displacement of 3,598 cc and an output of 250 hp. This six-cylinder is mated to a 7G-tronic automatic transmission. In terms of technology, the Chairman of this type has much in common with the E-Class (W211), S-Class (W220), CLS (W219) and Chrysler 300. Hence the powertrain from Mercedes-Benz.

Space and luxury

The 5.05-meter-long limousine has four seats and is equipped with the necessary luxuries. But in a Korean way: so lots of fake wood and lots of buttons. Thanks to a wheelbase of 2.97 meters, you have more than enough legroom.
