The Daewoo Espero (also Aranos) is a mid-size car produced by the South Korean company Daewoo Motors from 1990 to 1997. It was technically based on the GM J platform and had the distinction of a body designed by Bertone. The car was equipped with the Daewoo 1.5 engine, or the 1.8 or 2.0 L Family II engine from Holden. The Espero was replaced by the Daewoo Leganza in 1997.

The Espero was renamed to Aranos in Spanish-speaking countries, since the word Espero means I wait in Spanish. Such a name was deemed inadequate.
