With this teaser Renault Korea Motors announces its next SUV…

Renault Talisman Sedan 2020

The current situation in the automotive sector is complicated. The COVID-19 crisis joined the chip crisis and after all, Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the cruel war that has been generated. Everything has formed the perfect storm that has led manufacturers like Renault to seek drastic solutions to stay afloat. The last step in this vital fight was announced last May when Geely took over his Korean division.

Renault Korea Motors (RKM) was one of the jewels in the crown of the Gallic group. But Samsung's fall from grace and the failure of several launches caused its financial results to suffer. Hence, the Geely boys decided to take over a part of their shares to, in this way, get closer to the Gauls. And now his work sees the light through a teaser that, in a veiled way, announces its next great novelty: an SUV...

Rumors say that Renault Korea Motors will take over from the Talisman with this hybrid D-SUV (HEV) powered by Volvo…

In case you forgot Geely acquired 34% of the shares of Renault Korea Motors. This gives him the right to decide part of the future of the company and, as expected, he will launch a very good idea. Use the hybrid technology it has developed for Volvo in the future vehicles that it creates together with Renault. And this teaser announces that his first big bet will be a D-segment SUV with coupe-style bodywork…

As explained in the official press release published...

"Renault Korea Motors is launching a completely new line of vehicles of models of low-consumption hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) in segment D based on the latest Geely-Volvo technologies for local and export markets from 2024″

Regarding the design of this D-SUV They mention the following...

“This body shape reveals the proportions and dynamic lines of the upcoming RKM SUV coupe. This vehicle will be designed, developed and produced in South Korea. It will carry the ambitions of the brand through a groundbreaking, modern and attractive style which will then be extended to the entire range»

If you look at the teaser, you can see strong lines that stand out for three elements. The front will be vertical and very powerful with a flat and high hood. The side line will combine a flat-glass surface that favors the first and a coupe-style descending roof line. Finally, the rear window and the "C" pillar will be stretched to end in a large gate and very marked lines. The rest is a mystery yet to be resolved.

Finally, an important fact to keep in mind. According to the press release, this SUV should see the light at some point in 2024 on Volvo's hybrid platform. It is not known when his official debut will take place but at the time it was said that Geely and Renault could expand their technical collaboration and perhaps this is the key. We will be aware, but if the Gauls return with the Swedes we will not be surprised because they already worked together in their day...
