In October 2002, Renault Samsung Motors started to work on the "EX" project, a new car based on the Nissan J31 platform[1][2] which shared underpinnings with the Nissan Teana (in Asian markets) and the sixth-generation Nissan Maxima (in Europe, North America and Australia). On 30 November 2004, the new car was revealed to the public as a high-end model. To distinguish it from the Teana various changes were made to the design with the aim of giving it a more solid image. The car had a significant safety equipment as standard. It was presented in five trim levels: SE, XE, LE, XE35 and RE35.[3]

Engines

The SM7 is fitted with either a 2.3L or 3.5L Neo VQ V6 engine, developed by Nissan.[4] The 2.3L version was fitted to the SE, XE, LE trim levels and the 3.5L to the XE35 and RE35.[3]

A new generation SM7, based on a stretched version of the third generation Renault Samsung SM5 (L43), was revealed and went on sale in South Korea since August 2011.[6] A near-production concept version was presented in April.[7] The development of the new car took more than 32 months, at a cost of about 400 billion won (270 million euros).[8] It was conducted by the R & D department of Renault Samsung.[9]

The powertrain consists of two third-generation Nissan VQ engines (of 2.5 and 3.5L) coupled with a 6-speed manual and automatic transmissions. The car has an integrated front bumper-grill with bi-xenon adaptive headlamps an LED lamps on the rear.[10]

Renault Samsung presented three trim levels called SE, LE and RE. The equipment, depending on version, includes three-zone automatic air conditioning, improved ABS system, special headrest, fragrance diffuser, massaging seats, dual-stage airbags, paddle shifting and pressure-sensitive dampers.[10]
