Renault Korea's February sales were affected by a reduction in production volume due to reinforcement work of production facilities at its Busan plant.The Busan plant stopped operating the production line for about five weeks from December 31 last year to February 2 this year to convert it into a future electric vehicle production base and updated a total of 68 facilities.After that, production resumed on February 10 after a new facility test operation.Through this, the Busan plant has the capacity to produce internal combustion engines and hybrid vehicles as well as the latest pure electric vehicles in a single hybrid production line.
In February, domestic sales were driven by 4106 units of the new mid-sized SUV Grand Koleos.The Grand Colleos E-Tech hybrid accounted for about 90% of the units, with 3655 units.Grand Coleos is highly regarded in the market for its excellent design, innovative convenience safety features, excellent driving performance, and excellent safety.In particular, Grand Coleos won all three of Korea's representative "SUV of the Year" awards earlier this year, including "Hybrid SUV of the Year" by the Korea Automobile Journalists Association and "SUV of the Year," "SUV of the Year" by the Korea Automobile Journalists Association, and "SUV of the Year" by the JoongAng Ilbo.
Renault Korea's steady-seller SUV QM6 sold 454 units last month. QM6 has been reborn as a new model by adding the logo and design details to the solid basics that have been verified so far, such as quietness, economy, and driving stability.Following this, 260 Coupe-type SUV Arcana, 36 mid-size sedans SM6 and 25 commercial car master vans also helped Renault Korea's domestic performance in February.
After the reinforcement of the factory facilities, the production volume of Renault Korea's Busan plant in February was concentrated first on Grand Coleos for domestic consumers.As a result, export shipment schedules are adjusted together, and exports in February totaled only 1,218 units, including 1,029 Arcanas and 188 QM6s.Among them, some of Grand Corleos' pre-education vehicles, which have been preparing to export in earnest since the middle of this year, were also included in the export volume.
