Renault to launch large saloon

This is Renault's new large saloon contender, due to go on sale in early 2011. It will debut at the Moscow Motor Show in August, reflecting where the brand sees growth in this segment.

The car is based on Nissan's D platform and powertrains are likely to be from 2.0 upwards in petrol and diesel, depending on market.

There's a strong connection with Renault Samsung in Korea in the development of the car, which is related to the SM5 in that part of the world.
