Pavle.com.au photographers have spied the Renault Samsung SM5 testing in Australia with a new V6 engine.

The SM5 was released late last year with a limited amount of engines. The new V6 is expected to add a performance boost to the range. Paul Maric from CarAdvice.com.au said:

“Although it seems like an amalgamation of an automobile and a television, Renault Samsung has been operating in South Korea since 1994, where it was established as Samsung Motors. It wasn’t until 2000 that Renault bought 70% of the company and the name became amalgamated.

One of the company’s latest vehicles is the SM5, which was released to the Korean market in December, 2009.

The spies at Pavle.com.au have photographed Renault Samsung testing the SM5 in exclusive Australia spy photos. It is believed Renault Samsung is testing a 2.5-litre V6 from the Renault range to work with the SM5 via a CVT transmission. The engine is believed to be a variant of the VQ25DE, which is yet to be released in the SM5.”
