New Renault Talisman Sedanlooks like Samsung SM7 !!



The good thing with owning several brands across the world is that you can market the same products under different names, in different countries. Renault has done this several times with a number of Samsung and Dacia models and will continue the practice with its new Talisman sedan. The French automaker released a single teaser image of the Talisman, which borrows its name from Renault's 2001 luxury concept car and will make its world premiere at the Beijing Motor Show in China on April 23.
Renault said it would launch the sedan model in China to "boost its image", but didn't share any more information.
Nevertheless, a quick look through our archives reveals that the Talisman is a rebadged version of the Samsung SM7 sedan that was introduced into the South Korean automaker's domestic market in August of 2011.
In South Korea, the SM7 can be specified with two Nissan-sourced V6 engines, a 2.5-liter unit producing 190HP and 243Nm (179.3 lb-ft) and a 3.5-liter powerplant churning out 258HP and 330Nm (243.4 lb-ft).
Other Samsung models offered by Renault are the Koleos (based on the QM5) and the Latitude (based on the SM5).
