OHC). With Daewoo taking over Saehan’s operations, the Rekord tag was dropped and the cars became Daewoo Royale. Confusing, annual model changes mixing elements of Opel, Holden and Daewoo’s own sheetmetal. Initially commenced in 1983 with XQ, essentially the Opel Rekord E1, and the Salon, resembling the Opel Commodore C but with the smaller four-cylinder engines. Royale Prince took Opel Rekord E2 grille but kept the rear end of the E1. By 1985, XQ and Diesel facelifted, retaining short front sheetmetal of the earlier model but with wider lights. Prince rear end altered to one closer to Opel Senator A1. Salon kept Commodore C grille, but had new rear end as well. Salon Super introduced in 1986 with six-light glasshouse of Senator A1 and resembled that model. In 1987, further facelifts: Salon and Super Salon (spun off to its own line) received a new grille not resembling any others within the GM empire (bearing, instead, one to the Toyota Crown (S130)). Rear end also modified, now distinct from Senator. Royale Prince grille untouched from Opel Commodore C style. Royale Duke of 1987 retained shorter front end of XQ and four-light body, and was spun off in to its own model line for 1988. All Royales adopted the six-light glasshouse in 1989. After 1991, Imperial, Prince and Super Salon survived the retirement of the Royale name.
Marque: Daewoo | Predecessor: Saehan Rekord | Successors: Daewoo Super Salon, Daewoo Duke, Daewoo Prince, Daewoo Imperial
