[Asia Economy Reporter Suyeon Woo] Renault Samsung Motors is offering various new car purchase benefits throughout April, including 72-month low-interest installment plans for the XM3, 60-month interest-free installments for electric vehicles, and SM6 free upgrades.


On the 1st, Renault Samsung announced that customers purchasing the new Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) XM3 can enjoy up to 72 months of 3.9% low-interest installment plans or the Xperience installment plan with a 36-month 5.5% interest rate that guarantees a higher residual value than before.


Launched on the 9th of last month, the XM3 challenges the domestic SUV market with its design, driving performance, and reasonable price range. Consumers in their 30s (30%) and 40s (26%) make up more than half of all buyers, indicating that price-sensitive younger consumers are the main target. Therefore, this 6-year low-interest installment program is expected to be a valuable opportunity for key customers who want to purchase the XM3 without financial burden.
