The 2012 Renault SAMSUNG SM3 was a compact sedan produced by Renault Samsung Motors, a South Korean subsidiary of the French automaker Renault. This model, part of the second generation of the SM3, was a significant update over its predecessor, incorporating a more modern design language and advanced features. Built on the Nissan B platform, which also underpinned the Nissan Almera and Sentra, the SM3 boasted a spacious and comfortable interior for its class. It offered a choice of two petrol engines: a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine producing 115 horsepower and a more powerful 2.0-liter engine generating 140 horsepower. Both engines were mated to a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission.

The 2012 SM3 was well-equipped for its time, featuring amenities such as power steering, air conditioning, CD player, and keyless entry. Depending on the trim level, it could also include features like electric windows, sunroof, and leather upholstery. Safety was prioritized with standard features such as ABS, airbags, and seatbelts, further enhancing its appeal. However, despite a positive reception for its practicality and comfort, the SM3 faced competition from other popular compact sedans in the market, which ultimately limited its overall sales success.
