"At first, we aimed to deliver 20,000 units in the first three months. For now, the (target of delivering) 20,000 units is within our reach," Renault Samsung CEO Park Dong-hoon told reporters on Monday evening.

Renault Samsung unveiled an all-new version of its QM5 SUV at the Beijing auto show. The QM5 is being marked as the Renault Koleos overseas.

The new version of the QM5 crossover is expected to hit showrooms in Korea as early as July.

When asked whether the name of the new version of the QM5 would be the QM6, Park skirted the question by neither confirming or denying the rumor. (Yonhap)
