CEO of Renault Samsung Motors, Francois PROVOST, is
pleased to announce that the SM5 Eco-Impression
successfully completed a 1,073km round trip from the
Reunification Gate in Paju to Busan New Port on a single
tank of fuel on January 4-5, 2012. It is the first
mid-range two-litre petrol vehicle to accomplish this feat
in Korea
An in-house test carried out by Renault Samsung Motors on a
route comprising main roads, motorways and city streets saw
the SM5 Eco-Impression, which has a fuel tank capacity of
70 litres, carry its driver and one passenger from the
Renault Samsung Motors Technical Centre in Giheung, to the
Reunification Gate in Paju, the New Port in Busan and back
to the Technical Centre on a single tank of fuel. Average
fuel consumption for the 1,073km round trip was
15.5km/litre.
In response to customer demand for economical vehicles as a
result of rising oil prices, the SM5 Eco-Impression
achieved a Korean fuel consumption record for a two-litre
petrol vehicle of 14.1km/litre. It was equipped with the
new X-Tronic transmission for enhanced fuel efficiency,
acceleration performance and ride-comfort, while turbo
speed sensors, an improved clutch fluid, a high-precision
oil pressure sensor and low-viscosity engine oil all helped
to optimise engine performance.
Fuel efficiency was further increased thanks to a number of
new technological features, includng Energy Smart
Management (ESM), low rolling resistance tyres and neutral
control function (Stop&Start???).
The test also saw the SM5 Eco-Impression achieve equal or
better performance than other domestic mid-size vehicles at
engine speeds of less than 4,000rpm, the rev-band most
commonly used by customers. The car was acclaimed for its
excellent fuel efficiency in built-up areas.
Hong-Sun Jeon (Mid- and Large-Range Brand Manager, Renault
Samsung Motors): "The SM5 Eco-Impression is a highly
innovative model which delivers significant fuel efficiency
savings. It is the ideal vehicle for customers who seek
premium value and low running costs in today's world of
high oil prices and economic recession."
