Renault Korea will launch The New QM6, a uniquely reimagined mid-size SUV catering to all lifestyles, in March.
The New QM6 is a facelift model of the original QM6, featuring a new exterior design and upgraded interior and convenience features. Additionally, a new versatile SUV model called QM6 QUEST has been added to the lineup, which includes the existing gasoline model QM6 GDe and LPG model QM6 LPe, allowing customers to cater to various lifestyles.
The exterior design of The New QM6 features a newly designed radiator grille that expresses a solid and wide image typical of a mid-size SUV. The front bumper and the front and rear skid plates have been updated to harmonize with the new face. The headlamps now include vertically designed LED daytime running lights, enhancing the intensity of the front design. Changes have also been made to the tire wheel design for both 18-inch and 19-inch options, making The New QM6 a revamped model with a more robust and refined image.
The interior design has been updated to create a more modern atmosphere with the addition of eco-friendly olive green Nappa leather seats, along with new interior décor designs. Nappa leather is known for its soft texture, produced through eco-friendly processes using flaxseed oil and corn.
Convenience features for drivers and passengers have also been significantly upgraded. The most notable change is the inclusion of the EASY LIFE infotainment system.
With a display area of 272 cm² and a 9.3-inch screen, users can easily access various online entertainment services such as real-time TMAP navigation, AI-based voice recognition NUGU service, Melon/Genie Music, YouTube, Podcast, and News Reader. The EASY LIFE navigation system is accessible via Wi-Fi tethering without additional communication costs. The included HD-quality rear camera and smart sky view assist in safer driving.
Additional features like a 65W ultra-fast charging rear C-type USB port, front LED sterilization module, air purification system with circulation mode, and a highly efficient fine dust filter have been newly implemented to enhance comfort for both drivers and passengers in the interior.
The newly introduced QM6 QUEST, part of The New QM6 lineup, is a versatile mid-size SUV model presented by Renault Korea, aiming to cater to customers seeking a multifaceted vehicle. The QM6 QUEST features spacious interior dimensions with a length of 1,423–1,760mm, width of 1,261–1,321mm, and height of 723–859mm, accommodating 1,413L and a maximum load capacity of 300kg. This enables the vehicle to be utilized for both everyday and work purposes, adapting easily to various leisure needs, which has gained significant customer response even before the official launch.
Notably, the new exterior design of The New QM6 is retained in the QM6 QUEST, ensuring there is no visual distinction between the two. Moreover, drivers can enjoy the comfortable ride and stable driving performance validated by The New QM6 family models, along with access to a wide range of safety and convenience features. The QM6 QUEST also uniquely incorporates a digital rearview mirror, ensuring safety by providing a clear view of the rear even with large cargo loaded.
