Renault continues to soldier on in Europe with its rebadged Korean cars. After the Fluence sedan, which received its facelift last year, the Latitude, a rebadged version of the Samsung SM5, is also getting a cosmetic makeover.
This new look for the mid-size sedan will be shown shortly by the French carmaker. Yet already a couple of photos have leaked online thanks to the Czechs at Autoforum. Changes have been made to the headlights, the bumper and grilles, plus a few other touches like new wheel designs and mirrors with integrated indicators.

But the really exciting news is that the car might gain a new engine. A 180 hp version of the 1.6-liter TCe used by the Clio RS could find its way under the bonnet. This would be mated to one of the new EDC six-speed, double clutch gearboxes which Renault has gradually been introducing into its cars.
