Renault Samsung Launches QM6 with Completely New Look... Prices Starting from 24.74 Million KRW

[Asia Economy Reporter Su-yeon Woo] Renault Samsung Motors launched the style upgrade model of its flagship mid-size sports utility vehicle (SUV) QM6, the 'NEW QM6,' on the 6th.

The newly introduced QM6 is the second upgrade model following the QM6 released in June last year. The previous facelift model enhanced the powertrain and product appeal by introducing the LPe model, the only LPG SUV in Korea, and the premium trim PREMIERE. This time, the facelift was completed by upgrading the exterior centered on the front grille.

Quantum Wing Chrome Radiator Grille... Sensible Exterior Design

The newly launched QM6 features ▲a chrome radiator grille completed with a Quantum Wing ▲LED Pure Vision headlamps ▲full LED rear combination lamps ▲dynamic rear turn signals, presenting a sophisticated exterior design.

First, the chrome radiator grille, the core of the QM6 design, has been changed to a stylish and refined mesh pattern. The 'Quantum Wing,' which spreads out on both sides with the Renault logo in the center, symbolizes the energy of a powerful takeoff and has been redefined as Renault Samsung's new identity indicating a new direction for premium. It is applied for the first time in this QM6.

The Quantum Wing, connected to the LED Pure Vision headlamps on both sides and the character lines softly wrapping the body, realizes a 'strong beauty.' The Quantum Wing and mesh pattern further highlight the QM6 logo engraved on the lower part of the radiator grille.

The LED Pure Vision headlamps, applied as standard across all trims, are also a noteworthy point. The LED Pure Vision headlamps consume less power while being bright and beautiful, and they also offer excellent durability.

The dynamic rear turn signals, first applied to the new SM6 in July, have also been applied to the 'NEW QM6.' The dynamic turn signals, unique in its class, not only enhance the aesthetic sense of the exterior design but also contribute to safety by delivering clear signals.

Brown Color and Frameless Room Mirror... Sensible Interior

Additionally, the new QM6 completes a cozy and comfortable space. The newly applied modern brown leather seats and the only frameless room mirror in its class further enhance the sophisticated interior sense. The frameless room mirror creates a fresh and refined atmosphere and widens the rear view, enabling more comfortable and safer driving.

It offers convenience as well as a clean design, including the ability to use a SIM card-type postpaid Hi-Pass card. The Bose surround premium sound system supported by 12 speakers adds emotional quality.

Gasoline and LPG Engines Combining Power and Fuel Efficiency

The QM6 GDe equipped with a gasoline powertrain is the only mid-size SUV model with a 2.0ℓ naturally aspirated gasoline engine, achieving the best fuel efficiency in its class at 12.0 km per liter. It delivers comfortable daily driving with 144 horsepower output and 20.4 kg·m of torque. In addition, it secures high levels of quietness and durability by applying sound-absorbing materials and a silence timing chain used in diesel models. Especially, the dual VTC (Valve Timing Control) applied together helps increase torque at low speeds and reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

The NEW QM6 2.0 LPe, the only LPG SUV in Korea, adopts the LPLi (Liquid Petroleum Liquid Injection) method, which injects LPG in liquid form into each cylinder. This improves output and solves winter starting problems. It delivers a maximum output of 140 horsepower and a maximum torque of 19.7 kg·m.

The QM6 LPe applies Renault Samsung's patented LPG donut tank fixing technology. The donut tank is stably connected to the left and right side beams under the vehicle body with brackets, securing trunk capacity and ensuring top-level safety in rear collisions. Additionally, the floating design fixes the donut tank so that it does not directly touch the lower floor of the trunk but slightly floats, improving noise and vibration. The greatest advantage of the QM6 LPe is its excellent economy. It can run up to 534 km on a single charge, allowing a trip from Seoul to Busan without additional refueling.

Reasonable Price Range... Top 'PREMIERE' Trim Added to LPe

Renault Samsung newly added the top trim 'PREMIERE' to the LPe model with this new car launch. This is expected to satisfy LPe customers who want both economy and luxury. The first and second-row side windows of the PREMIERE trim are finished with double-glazed soundproof glass to enhance quietness, and privacy glass is applied to the second-row side windows to upgrade product appeal. The double-glazed soundproof glass excels not only in safety but also in reducing wind noise and blocking ultraviolet rays (99%).

The price of the NEW QM6 is set from 24.74 million KRW for the lowest SE trim of the 2.0 GDe to about 32.45 million KRW for the top PREMIERE trim.

Kim Tae-jun, head of sales at Renault Samsung, said, "Through the NEW QM6, which adds new design to proven product competitiveness, we will provide customers with 'satisfaction that does not change over time.'"
