This fifth model in the Renault Samsung lineup targets a younger generation, one that is looking for alternatives to the typical B-segment vehicles and wants an original small car. Despite not being specifically designed for this market, demand has been good. A thousand orders were confirmed within 7 minutes of order books opening on its release day in Korea and since then the tally has reached over 5,000.

The Renault QM3 starts from 22,500,000 Korean Won (USD 21,265) and is available in three equipment grades: SE, LE and RE.

In case your are among the first 1,000 costumers, you’ll get your hands on the small crossover by mid-December. Furthermore, an additional 4,000 orders have been made and are scheduled for the first quarter of next year.


Concerning the engine, the vehicle comes with a Renault 1.5-liter diesel engine that produces 90 PS(89hp). This small urban crossover is a combination of sporty vibes and alluring design that has been voted Best Car of the Show at this year’s Seoul Motor Show on March 28.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
