THE BASICS:
Year: 2019
Make: Renault Samsung Motors
Model: QM6 (also known as the Koleos)
Fuel Type: Diesel
Type: 5-door, 5 seat SUV
Wheels: 19 inch aluminum wheels
MSRP: Around $35,000 (not available in the US)
+ Renault is a French automaker that has partnered with Samsung to form Renault Samsung Motors, although Renault owns about 80% of the business.
+Samsung actually used to make cars on its own, but sold its business to Renault back in 2000.
UNDER THE HOOD:
+ Engine: 2.0 Liter Inline 4-Cylinder Engine
+ Transmission: Automatic CVT
+ Horsepower: 177 hp at 3,750 rpms
I got my information off of Renault's European website which lists fuel consumption in the "New European Driving Cycle" Standard or NEDC for short.
Urban mpg NEDC is 41.5 (city driving)
Extra-urban mpg NEDC is 48.7 (highway)
Combined mpg NEDC is 45.6 (overall figure)
Keep in mind the NEDC standard is based labratory tests performed in the UK. In real world conditions, the QM6 gets about 29 mpg in the city and 33 on the highway. Again, in eco mode.
(I was a little shocked by these figures, until I learned that diesel typically deliver 25 to 30 percent better fuel economy than similarly performing gas engines. I honestly had no idea)
Fuel Tank Capacity: 13 gallon fuel tank (or 60 liters)
HANDLING:
Really good. I drove the QM6 down a mountain road, in the rain, AND with my mother-in-law sitting next to me, and felt super comfortable and in control. Handling is solid.
ACCELERATION:
Not great. 0 to 62 (0 to 100 kph) is 10.2 seconds. With a maximum speed of 127 mph. The QM6 is a bit slow, especially in economy mode. I actually found myself a bit annoyed with the lack of acceleration.
CABIN NOISE:
Wonderful. I drove the QM6 on a small island, so I never really got 50 miles per hour, but I still found the vehicle to be extremely quiet. I was a bit impressed.

You read all the way to the end? Nice! Don't stop here. Shoot me and email or leave me a comment and say Hello! 
Авто/Мото
Thanks for taking us along on your vacation!! Cool to see a Korean spec car.
I just bought one of these a couple months ago. I absolutely love it. I agree about the acceleration and power (I came from a Megane RS). Although I just remind myself I'm not meant to be racing around in an SUV... The sound system is AMAZING and coupled with the quietness of the cabin while driving, is one of its strongest selling points for me. The headlights are the best I've had at night. So bright and crisp.
Howdy, great review as always and I hope you had fun on vacation.
Thanks Ryan! It was soooo much fun. So fun in fact, that I'm having a little bit of trouble getting back into the swing of things. I wish I could be on a permanent vacation, you know?
Same, I spent a week in New England and got so used to waking up and eating breakfast at a Springhill Suites, getting into to Hertzs Kia Forte, driving around Rhode Island. Or waking up in the Hyatt Place in Boston to free breakfast (Usually isn’t with Hyatt, I’m just a world of Hyatt member) and walking to the MBTA station and getting on the subway. My last day was at the Four Points by the airport before I went home. The most stressful part was almost missing my connection in Charlotte, finding out my flight home to Lexington,KY from Charlotte was canceled, having to deal with American rescheduling. The next flight being delayed by 2 hours, then a ground delay once we were on the plane, then finding out someone dented my car the economy parking lot and having to stay another hour filling claims with the airport. Thank god for security cameras. So for me, I wasn’t even back home yet when the real world slapped me in the face. But I did binge watch your videos while drinking Iced Black Tea and eating BoJangles in the airport, at 10:pm, in Charlotte lol
there's a glove box on the passenger side. i've never ever seen that in any car ever. this is so good! you're doing so well as a 2 year old that has kids.... god help us
Slow acceleration is fairly typical in a diesel. Another thing I notice is that the diesel you're driving does not have the diesel after-treatment systems that would be required in the US. That would hinder fuel economy and increase cost of ownership. Great vids as always and glad to see you pick up a couple more patrons.
wow. 19in aluminum wheels? so glad that you took 4 seconds to point that out. i've never seen a car with wheels before. wow. this is the best car because in 2019, it has wheels. woah.
Nice to see you some where away from a mid west freeway. Diesel is popular in countries which do not have the low fuel prices of the U.S, my wife has got a Renault Captur with a 1.5dci engine and manual gearbox, she is getting 46 U.S mpg ( fuel is USD 4.66/gallon here)
Cool to see you do an overseas rental car review!!! :)
Thanks! It was a bit of a challenge, since I didn't have all of my gear. But still fun!
are you telling me that in 2019, we can figure out what temperature it is outside? wow. you're so smart! i'm glad you look at a car more than your family. clearly you need the alone time to read the temperature.
What a cool car! Thanks for the overseas review! I am noticing a few identical parts from my Nissan Rogue. Renault and Nissan have some kind of partnership. Not sure of details. My US Nissan Rogue car battery say Renault Nissan on it. Your test car has my rogues overhead console, exterior door mirrors rear cup holders rear tailgate push button. and it looks like the window switches on drivers door look the same as well
Joes Golden Garage I noticed the exact same things!
Yes indeed, Renault bailed out Nissan back in the 90's when it was on the brink of bankruptcy and since then they formed an alliance but they aren't like a single entity or something but they do share parts and platforms heavily to cut costs and to be present in many markets under various brands like Renault, Nissan, Lada or Dacia
I kinda wish Samsung still made its own cars tho
Me too.
Cool video! I’d love to review a Citroën some day!
Great review! Did you notice some Nissan parts in the car? Nissan and Renault are sister companies. Enjoy your vacation! Thanks.
wow! there's a garage door button? what year is this, 2052?! wow garage door buttons! awwww i love watching you learn about what every car does! it's so cute! awww
QM6 is on a roll. Bumper sales in SK (May and June)
Have a 2016 model when it just came out as Renault in Australia, been very reliable safe car
You can actually customise the gauge cluster display and change the ambient lighting colour in the Settings menu.
Cool!!! Hope you enjoyed vacation time in South Korea. Interesting video, looks like a Nissan Rouge Sport.
Daniel Gross Renault makes nissan, hence why a few Nissan/Inifiniti parts are scattered
Thanks Daniel!
Thanks Daniel!
Looks good!
It was!
That car really looks so good!!!! I was so surprised to have seen that car in S. KOREA.
I like the design too. Especially the center display, it by far the best screen I've ever had in a vehicle.
My Kia Soul is a bit slow with the eco mode too.
That's o.k., love that 33 mpg.
omfg there's hazard buttons? and defrost buttons? that's so good. good job on learning a car! i wish i had a 2 year old teaching me what every car does.
In Mexico the Renault koleos has the same power train as the Nissan Rogue and the Koleos starts around 23 thousand dollars here in Mexico
Based on the same platform as the Nissan Rogue/X-Trail. The factory that makes this is one of the assembly points for the Rogue and makes the Koleos for all markets in the world, including Europe. If you get the gasoline version it will have the same ultra reliable Japanese made Nissan engine as the Rogue. The next generation of the Mitsubishi Outlander will probably just be a rebadged version of the next generation of the Koleos.
Renault vehicles aren't reliable and Nissan Infiniti and Mitsubishi aren't either
Interesting and positive review. Senseless to do a 0-100 acceleration test in ECO mode. It's named ECO for a reason. Switch between ECO and Normal on a highway and you will immedialtely notice all bite is gone. Without ECO mode the 0-100 time is similar to a Tesla in Ludicrous mode ;)
Nice review of this Renault/Nissan/Samsung lol
According to Renault-Samsung, It's officially based on Renault Koleos (Renault C-platform) and developed by Renault-Samsung Motors R&D centre in Korea. Renault shares Renault C-platform with QM6, Koleos, X-Trail, Qashqai and Rogue.
"here's the buttons engraved. can you see? they have buttons engraved" awwwww you think other people can't see buttons! how cute! I remember when I learned about buttons too! awwww
Designed by Laurens van der Acker, Renault's design chief. Based on Nissan's Roque. Outside SK it's indeed called Koleos. Global production in SK. SK buys twice the amount of Europe. Reason: not the right engine (just 1!) for the EU market. Renault EU will adjust with the Koleos Phase II this year.
❤️SAMSUNG
💖Lijo Vj
Figured it's jeju. What made you to choose Korea for vacation? Haha
awwww you didn't have to turn on the radio so you can't hear the car? wow. that's so good! i hope that you don't have to hear sounds in the future, poor little baby. awwww you're so cute at 2 years old being able to talk and drive. awww
I might sounds stupid but WOAH! I never knew samsung made cars!
No stupid at all. I was equally as shocked!
That "Samsung QM6" is the exact same as the Renault Koleos just with a different badge.
Based on the Nissan Rogue, apparently.
enr3870 yep, correct. They share some interior parts as well.
In Europe the "Rogue" is called the X-Trail
I like X-Trail more than Rogue.
No it is based on the Renault Kadjar
Harry Murray-Jones which is also based off the Rogue
♡♡Oh I really like it♡♡♡♡.Can I buy Samsung car in New York, USA?
Is 2.0 engine better than 2.5 koleos
Do the 2019 chevy spark lt
No suits on vacation?
The acceleration doesn't have to be fast. South Korea isn't the US, speed is of the least concern. 10.2 seconds is decent in Asia and Europe.
Not in Germany 😀
@@SSHEINI82736 believe it or not, unless you are routinely getting out of the city, 10.2 seconds is more than enough. It's even enough in the US. That's why they sell 68 and 75 hp models in europe
Since Renault owns nissan, did you notice any nissan and Infiniti parts on this? I did!
So. Korea, a small country, has 5 major automakers, we've got only 4 . What happened to the USA?
No we have dodge , ram , Lincoln, Chevrolet , ford , Jeep, Cadillac, gmc etc.
@@iketanikoichiro3519 We got GM Ford FCA and Tesla.
How is your vacation?
Amazing! We went all over Korea for three weeks. It was a blast. Thanks for asking. But I'm glad to be back now and getting back into my routine of filming and editing.
100 Rental Cars not North Korea I hope!!! I hope it’s better than Illinois! Can’t wait to move from here!
You really didn’t know that Diesels are far more economical than petrol. Or didn’t know the exact percentage difference
Both. Diesel vehicles are rare where I live. I've only driven a handful of them in my entire life, so I have very little experience with them.
100 Rental Cars fair enough in the U.K. all taxis are diesels for that reason
there's a trunk with space to put stuff? good for a video. i've never seen a trunk with areas to put stuff in
Samsung Renault, The New Samsung Automobile. Renewed sprit of automobile industry across glob. wolilnyeon

eco mode does not equal to better mileage
HOLY SHIT! THERE'S BUTTONS TO TURN VOLUME UP AND DOWN?! THAT'S AMAZING!
You’re pronouncing Renault wrong. It’s actually pronounced “Ren-O.” Common mistake for most.

Don't worry, this isn't a recent Renault interior. Check out the latest Clio and Captur's interiors, they truly are stunning.
