Renault Korea Sells 4,649 Vehicles in November... 3,575 Domestic and 1,074 Exported

Exports of Electric SUV Polestar 4 Begin
QM6 and SM6 End Sales Run After 2016 Launch

Renault Korea, led by CEO Nicolas Paris, sold a total of 4,649 vehicles in November, including 3,575 units in the domestic market and 1,074 units for export. November's export performance included 304 units of the Polestar 4, destined for Canada.

According to Renault Korea, domestic sales in November were driven by the midsize SUV Grand Koleos, which sold 2,403 units. Of the Grand Koleos sales in November, the Hybrid E-Tech model accounted for 2,052 units, representing 85.4% of total sales. The Grand Koleos Hybrid E-Tech features a parallel-series dual motor drive system, delivering a class-leading system output of 245 horsepower and excellent fuel efficiency of 15.7 km/L (based on the Techno trim's combined official fuel economy).

The coupe-style SUV Arkana recorded total sales of 560 units, including 459 units of the 1.6 GTe and 101 units of the Hybrid E-Tech. In particular, the Arkana 1.6 GTe, equipped with a proven 1.6L gasoline engine and an Xtronic continuously variable transmission, offers an efficient combined official fuel economy of 13.6 km/L (based on 17-inch tires) and a smooth driving experience. As an SUV model priced similarly to a compact sedan, it is attracting attention in the market.

The steady-selling SUV QM6 and the midsize sedan SM6 recorded sales of 601 units and 6 units, respectively, in November. Both models, which debuted in the domestic market in 2016, concluded their sales run last month after more than nine years. Since its launch, the QM6 underwent two facelifts and continued to draw customer interest, particularly with the QM6 LPe, which features a patented mounting system and contributed to the popularization of LPG SUVs.

As of last month, the QM6 had been chosen by nearly 258,000 customers in the domestic market. The SM6, known for its stylish and refined design and a variety of powertrains, achieved total sales of approximately 157,000 units in Korea.

In November, Renault Korea's exports included 421 units of the Grand Koleos (exported as the New Renault Koleos), 349 units of the Arkana, and 304 units of the Polestar 4, the electric performance SUV from Swedish premium electric vehicle brand Polestar, shipped to Canada.

Earlier this year, Renault Korea's Busan plant underwent a large-scale upgrade of 68 facilities to transform itself into a future electric vehicle production hub. As a result, the plant is now capable of producing internal combustion engine vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and the latest pure electric vehicles on a single mixed production line.
