Citace:

Renault is making a big saloon again - but it's not about to risk trying to sell it to European buyers.

This is the reborn Safrane, a large Korean-built saloon that the French manufacturer is aiming to sell in the middle East. It's powered by a 2.3-litre V6 engine producing around 170bhp or a new 2.0-litre four-cylinder motor; both units are mated to an automatic transmission driving the front wheels.

Renault is keen to pitch the Safrane as a premium item (climate control, Bose stereo etc), but it sports one of the most complex, muddy bloodlines of any car on the market; it's essentially a rebadged Samsung SM5 (a model only available in Korea), which is essentially a rebadged Nissan Teana (a model only available in Japan), which sits on the same platform as Nissan's Maxima and Altima.

The new Safrane will be built at Busan in South Korea, alongside Renault's first joint venture with Samsung Motors, the Koleos SUV. Sales start in early September.

I was first! :lol2:

it´s a pity that this safrane is only Samsung with the Renualt sign and name Safrane.... and it´s a pity that it´ll be buying in Korea and Asia but no in the Europe. it could have been good, that VelSatis continued, but would be prettier and would be like safrane and would by the name Safrane. and in substance... when it would be making and buying in europe.

hehehe yes you were first!

Yes I also think its a shame that Renault are not building this version. Do you have any news on the gadgets yet? - Will it have the passenger mirror that drops down etc?

I think the engine is too small for such a big looking car. 2.3L V6 with ONLY 170BHP - Thats like the normal Phase 2 Safrane which is also 170BHP!!!

Which will be faster?

Also does the new one have a manual or automatic gearbox?
