The Daewoo Prince is a mid-size luxury car that was produced by Daewoo in South Korea between 1991 and 1999. The car was based on the rear-wheel drive Opel Rekord E, although the body was of Daewoo design, as opposed to the Opel-designed, Holden-manufactured body of the Prince's Royale predecessor.{{Cite web|last=Zal|first=Pawel|url=https://www.automobile-catalog.com/model/daewoo/prince_daewoo.html#gsc.tab=0|title=Daewoo Prince specifications: versions & types|work=Automobilecatalog.com|publisher=Automobile Catalog|access-date=1 July 2025}} The Prince was powered by 1.8- and 2.0-litre Opel Family II four-cylinder engines.{{cite journal | year = 1995 | title = Daewoo Prince | journal = Automobil Revue | pages = 224}} The Prince spawned two additional variants, the Daewoo Brougham and the Daewoo Super Salon. The base Prince was replaced by the Leganza, while the more luxurious Brougham and Super Salon were succeeded by the Daewoo Chairman in 1997, Taxi models continued in production until September 1999.{{Cite web|url=https://bobaedream.co.kr/view?code=national&No=1184457|title=대우택시의 역사(?)카탈로그 시리즈~~~}}
