Renault full details on new Samsung SM7
The product of some 32 months and over $300 million of development, the new SM7 is larger than the Nissan Maxima-based model it replaces. Two V6 engines from the third-generation VQ family are available – a 2.5-liter unit with 190 horsepower or a larger 3.5-liter unit with 258 hp – both mated to a six-speed paddle-shift automatic.
You may recognize the name Samsung for its electronics. Maybe even some home appliances. But cars? The Korean industrial giant produces a line of automobiles for domestic consumption in collaboration with Renault. Together, they make a range of sedans, hatchbacks and crossovers, and this is the latest.
Called the SM7, the new sedan was previewed a couple of months ago, but now that it’s ready to hit the Korean market, Renault/Samsung has released a small batch of new images along with all the details.
