In 2006, the SM3 was launched as Nissan Almera Classic in Ukraine and Russia. The same year, the car was launched in Central and South America as Nissan Almera, (Except in Chile where it was sold as Samsung), replacing Sentra after this became a large family car.

The SM3 was also sold as the Nissan Sunny in the Middle East[2] and as the Renault Scala in Mexico,[3][4] Egypt[5] and Colombia.[6]

In July 2009, it was renamed as SM3 CE (Classic Edition).[7] The company announced production of the first generation SM3 would be continued while demand existed.[8][9] The SM3 CE was discontinued in 2011 in Korea and was manufactured in Busan for the Russian, and Peru Market, under the Nissan brand. Production ended in 2013.[10]

SM3 Z.E.

 
Renault Samsung SM3 Z.E.

At the 2011 Seoul Motor Show, Renault Samsung Motors unveiled an all-electric variant of the SM3 called the Z.E. It is based on the Renault Fluence Z.E. and is partly financed by the South Korean Government.[14] The car entered into mass production at the Busan factory during October 2013. The company targets a production of about 4,000 units per year.[15] In 2013, its second marketing year and the first of South Korean assembly, the SM3 Z.E. was leader in electric vehicle sales, with a market share of 58% and 453 cars sold. The company attributed this to its AC-3 charger, its greater range compared to rivals and a better warranty for the battery.[16]

In November 2017, company introduced new SM3 Z.E. with range increased by 57 percent to 213 kilometers (132.3 miles) based on the Korean type approval cycle.[17]
