Renault Samsung Motors to Begin Customer Delivery of 2023 XM3 from the 7th

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] Renault Samsung Motors announced on the 6th that it has launched the 2023 model of the Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) XM3 and will begin customer deliveries starting from the 7th.

The 2023 XM3 added the Inspire trim. It enhanced trendy technological features by adding a safety support call service for safe and comfortable driving. In addition, soundproof windshield glass was applied as standard to reduce wind noise, further upgrading the driving experience.

Renault Samsung Motors began reservations for the 2023 XM3 on January 19 to minimize delivery delays for new contract customers. The total number of reservations over one and a half months reached 2,330.

The Inspire trim of the 2023 XM3 offers the leather seat package (ventilated seats and rear seat heating as standard) and a black two-tone roof as standard features on the TCe 260 RE Signature. It is characterized by adding unique interior and exterior design elements exclusive to Inspire to complete a standout design like a scene stealer on the road.

The exterior design of Inspire is inspired by the show car "Inspire" unveiled at the 2019 Seoul Motor Show, applying the exclusive red deco, side emblem, high-gloss black B-pillar. The interior design also features the Inspire-exclusive interior pack, including 5-hydro hexagon, red deco, black headliner, and black leather seats with red stitching. The Inspire trim is only available with the TCe 260 engine model.

The 2023 XM3 newly added a safety support call service that supports emergency rescue reporting and accident handling to the existing In-Car Payment function. The In-Car Payment service introduced through the XM3 is a new concept service that allows ordering, payment, and product pickup inside the vehicle for items sold at gas stations, cafes, restaurants, and convenience stores.

The newly added safety support call service is a service that provides emergency rescue reporting and accident handling support through a dedicated 24-hour call center in case of emergencies such as vehicle accidents. When an airbag deploys in a vehicle accident, the vehicle automatically sends its current location to the call center to request emergency rescue and accident handling support. Additionally, the reliable high-speed road and refined section driving assistance functions are attractive points of the XM3 that complete safe and convenient driving.

Furthermore, soundproof windshield glass is applied as standard from the LE trim, reducing wind noise entering the front during high-speed driving and enhancing external noise insulation. This works by inserting soundproofing material into the front glass (windshield) to reduce the transmission of high-frequency noise, thereby lowering indoor noise intrusion.

The 1.3L turbo gasoline engine jointly developed by Renault-Daimler, which offers excellent fuel efficiency and dynamic driving performance, along with the class-leading 513-liter trunk and double trunk floor, are praised as unique selling points of the XM3 that attract customers more the more they drive.

Kim Tae-jun, Head of Sales and Marketing at Renault Samsung Motors, said, “Since its launch, the XM3 has walked a steady path over the past two years, showing a success story in both the domestic and overseas markets, and it has become even stronger through this model year change. We will continue to establish it as a ‘SUV that attracts more the more you see, know, and drive’ so that it can remain a best-selling model for a long time in domestic and international markets.”

The 2023 XM3 is available in a total of five exterior colors: Cloud Pearl, Solid White, Sonic Red, Urban Gray, and Metallic Black. The Inspire trim can only be selected in Cloud Pearl and Sonic Red.
