The interior of the XM3 combines the subtle balance of spaciousness, comfort and dynamism of an SUV coupé. The latter adapts to the driver’s mood, with its three driving modes and a variety of lighting atmospheres. The XM3 also boasts equipment worthy of the top segment, such as Park Assist with a 360° camera, automatic parking brake (available even on the standard finish level), adaptative cruise control with the Stop & Go function, Lane Keeping Assistant and MULTI-SENSE technology.

The high-tech interior is slightly orientated towards the driver with two large digital screens: a 10” digital instrument panel (identical to the one in the Renault Captur INITIALE PARIS) with a navigation display and a vertical 9.3’’ multimedia tablet. “Not only is it beautiful, it has a quality colour/materials combination that gives it a unique character and the car is very practical and easy to use on a day-to-day basis” says Minyoung Kim, the Colour and Materials designer. XM3 is an SUV coupé that makes no compromises on comfort, spaciousness and payload volume. Those familiar with Renault and Renault Samsung Motors will recognise the C-Shape light signature of the LED headlights from the brand’s SM6 (Talisman) and QM6 (Koleos) models. Its 18” wheel hubs, chrome radiator grille and twin aluminium exhaust give it a really sporty look. XM3 also inherits several attributes that are characteristic of an SUV, such as high ground clearance, front and rear skis and wheel arch protectors. In particular, this resulted in a very high body waist and a sloping roof line. “We adopted the elegant profile of a saloon and we raised it up” explained Raphael Linari, the director of the Renault Design Center Seoul. Unveiled at the Seoul Motor Show in March 2019, the XM3 INSPIRE show car revealed the basis of the XM3 series.
