SM5 V6 2.5!

On December 3, 2010, Renault-Samsung Motors launched the much awaited flagship grade for the premium midsize sedan known as the SM5 (now also in Europe as the Renault Latitude). For those who reside in Korea, you're in luck because there was a Nissan-sourced VQ 2.5-litre V6 engine found on the Nissan Skyline and Teana added in the engine choice. Now, Korean customers can choose either an entry level 2.0L variant or the new flagship 2.5L V6 variant for the new SM5.

This is Korea's first. The first Korean sedan to be fitted with the 2.5L V6 engine sourced from a Japanese car company.

However, even when fitted with the new V6 engine on the new SM5, its still can't beat the Kia K5 because of the performance index.
