Renault Korea is running a thank-you event following the XM3 E-Tech Hybrid’s selection as ‘Hybrid SUV of the Year’ at the 2023 Korea Car of the Year evaluation organized by the Korean Association of Automotive Journalists on the 19th.

The XM3 E-Tech Hybrid, which claimed the title of Hybrid SUV of the Year, features hybrid technology derived from Renault Group’s F1 machines, showcasing performance that is the closest to an electric vehicle in hybrid driving capabilities. It has garnered considerable attention, receiving accolades as the best hybrid car from experts and actual buyers in the European market, which launched earlier than in Korea.

To show their appreciation to customers, Renault Korea will hold a draw offering department store gift certificates to 115 customers who purchase a vehicle this month. There will be five 1 million won Shinsegae gift certificates, ten 300,000 won certificates, and a hundred 100,000 won certificates, with the results announced on February 8.

Until the 31st, customers visiting Renault Korea’s sales showrooms can receive a ‘Me-Like Hybrid’ calendar in line with the advertising concept of the XM3 E-Tech Hybrid, allowing them to choose and customize various photos of themselves, family, friends, or loved ones for the calendar as a New Year’s gift.

In addition, from the 20th to the 27th, including the Lunar New Year holiday period, customers who purchase display cars at nationwide sales showrooms can avail of a promotion with up to 50% discount on accessories installed in the display cars.

Since the start of the new year, Renault Korea has introduced a 2.9% installment plan (maximum 12 months and principal amount over 10 million won) for all models, including the QM6, SM6, and XM3, continuing efforts to alleviate the burden of new car purchases for consumers during this high interest rate period.
