[Maxx Well]

The coupe-shaped crossover was photographed in Korea, where they are going to produce a new product under the local Samsung brand. Also, SUVs assembled in Korea are planned to be delivered to Europe, but already under the Renault logo.

Coupe-shaped crossover Renault Arkana was created specifically for our country. The Russians got access to the new product, which comes off the assembly line of the Moscow brand plant, in 2019. Last spring, it became known that the cross with a coupe-like silhouette would reach Korea - here the future novelty was presented in the form of the conceptual Samsung XM3 Inspire. The other day, the local forum Bobaedream posted live shots of another Arkana. The car in the photo is hidden under a dense layer of “camouflage”, but experts suggest that the pictures show the serial XM3, and not our Arkana, which they decided to test in Korea.

The camouflaged crossover differs from the Samsung concept car in simpler optics, but the serial SUV retained the chrome finish of the radiator grill. In Russian Arkana, for comparison, only its edging was coated with chrome. However, the more significant difference between the two cross-coupes is the platform.

Our Arkana receives the upgraded B0 platform from Renault Duster, while the Korean is based on the new CMF-B platform.

The motor lineup of the coupe-shaped Samsung XM3 is likely to include a 1.5-liter dCi diesel and a 1.3-liter H5H gas turbo engine, which can be found under the hood of the Russian Arkana. The engineers of Renault and Daimler worked on the creation of this engine. With us, it produces 150 horsepower, for Korea, the power will increase slightly - up to 157 hp. The drive of the other "Arcana" will be front. In Russia, the coupe-shaped cross is also available in 4WD.

In a series of cross-coupe Samsung XM3 will be released in the first half of this year: the novelty will be on the conveyor of the Renault Samsung factory in Busan. Over time, the Korean version of the cross-coupe wrytin.com/maxxwell/how-to-check-the-car-ignition-system-before-buying-k6g62jnc can reach Europe.
