Some of the figures are of the SsangYong chairman
In the summer of 2006, the North Korean government magazine Foreign Trade published a photograph of a new type of North Korean luxury car known as the "horse" (the English translation is Junma or Zunma). This is a remodeled model of South Korea's first generation SsangYong Chairman H medium and large sedan in 2005, and the platform is the second generation Mercedes. Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W210), the logo was replaced by the double pigeon logo of the Pinghe car, and the logo of the hub center was also replaced. The horse was provided to senior North Korean officials for ride, and the Nampo City Pinghe Automobile Manufacturing Plant was authorized to assemble the car (CKD), which was produced in only small batches from March 2005 to 2006.

The horse has a wheelbase of 2895 mm, a length of 5100 mm, a width of 1825 mm, a height of 1465 mm and a weight of 1820 kg; the tires are 215/55 R17. It is powered by a 2.8-liter Mercedes-Benz M104.94x inline 6-cylinder engine with a maximum output of 197 horsepower and a maximum speed of 220 km/h. SsangYong Chairman H is equipped with heating and cooling cup holders, rear parking sensors, rain-sensing wipers, anti-lock brakes, stability and traction control systems, etc. The horse positioning is lower, and there may be many simple configurations.
Because North Korea is a socialist country, Zama replaced some of the luxurious interiors on the original, replacing the wooden decorative panels with plastic ones and the leather seats with fabric seats. At the same time, the automatic transmission is replaced with a manual transmission.

It should be noted that this car is different from the "Horse 2008" (Passat) assembled later by Pinghe.
