still an option. 2008 (A34R) In August 2008, Renault revived the Safrane name for several markets in the Gulf States. Based directly on the second generation (DF) of Renault Samsung SM5 sedan, the car was manufactured by Renault Samsung in South Korea, and also presented in Mexico in February 2009. Renault sold the Renault Latitude in Europe, although not in the United Kingdom (due to the decline of the traditional saloon market). This is a lengthened and widened version of the Laguna, platform with vastly similar engines. In Mexico and the states of the Persian Gulf, the Latitude was sold as the Safrane.
