雷诺近日发布了其D级七座SUV最初细节,该车定位在不久前发布的Kadjar之上。雷诺高管透露，该车将与Captur和Kadjar遵循相同命名方法，这意味着这款车的名称将以字母“C”或“K”打头，或许会被命名为“Koleos”（科雷傲）。不过，由于该车定位在Espace之下，因此还算不上是旗舰级车型。这款车将主要面向亚洲市场，将销往目前并未销售Espace的市场。雷诺表示，这款车将不仅比Kadjar更大，而且车身比例也将进行调整，行驶高度进一步提升。它针对的是与Kadjar不同的客户群。大约在一个月前，有消息称，这款七座SUV的长度约为5米，与日产最新款奇骏共享CMF平台和动力系统。据说该车将在中国研发并投产，同时也将在韩国生产并作为雷诺三星QM5销售。

 

Seven-seater Renault SUV to slot below Espace; primarily targeting Asia

Renault has released some preliminary details about its D-segment SUV which will be positioned above the recently unveiled Kadjar.

 

Speaking to Auto Express, Renault's senior vice president of marketing Michael Van der Sande said the seven-seater SUV will following the same naming strategy used on the Captur and Kadjar, meaning that it will adopt a moniker starting with either "C" or "K", with "Koleos" remaining a possible solution. It won't sit on top of the range as Renault will slot the new model below the Espace which will remain their range-topper.

 

It will primarily target Asian markets and will be mostly sold in countries where the Espace is not going to be commercialized. Renault promises it will be more than just a bigger Kadjar as company boss Laurens van den Acker says they are targeting a different type of buyers and the car will have modified proportions and a higher driving position.

 

More than a month ago we heard from Australian media the new seven-seat SUV from Renault will be around five meters long and will ride on the same CMF platform as the latest Nissan X-Trail from where it will inherit most engines. It's allegedly being developed in China where it will be locally produced and there are some chances of being built in South Korea where it will probably be sold as the Renault Samsung QM5.
