Renault has unveiled Filante, its new premium crossover and the fifth model under the Renault International Game Plan 2027, marking a major step in the brand’s global growth strategy. Featuring avant-garde design, cutting-edge technologies and a 250 hp E-Tech full hybrid powertrain, Filante is engineered to deliver a premium driving experience tailored for markets beyond Europe.
The model will make its global debut in South Korea from March 2026, followed by launches in South America and the Gulf region, signalling a pivotal moment in Renault’s international ambitions.
A Strategic Global Flagship
Revealed in Seoul, Filante represents Renault’s return to the premium segment outside Europe and serves as the flagship of the International Game Plan 2027. The strategy includes eight global product launches supported by an investment of €3 billion, aimed at strengthening Renault’s footprint across 80 international markets.
Commenting on the reveal, Fabrice Cambolive, Chief Growth Officer, Renault Group and CEO, Renault, said: “We are opening a new chapter of the Renault International Game Plan 2027 here in Korea, a market that plays a central role in our global ambitions. Filante perfectly illustrates our approach, blending Renault’s French DNA with Korean excellence.”
Global Vision, Local Excellence.
Assembled in Busan, Filante will go on sale in Korea from March 2026, before expanding to South America and the Gulf countries in early 2027. Designed for a global audience, the crossover goes beyond regional identity, combining bold styling with broad international appeal.
Sculptural Design and Advanced Technologies
Filante makes a strong visual statement with its sleek, athletic silhouette, taut surfaces and a distinctive lighting signature that redefines Renault’s design language. The interior prioritises comfort and refinement, featuring lounge-style seating, premium materials and first-class sound insulation, enabled by the CMA (Compact Modular Architecture) platform.
On the technology front, Filante introduces three segment-first innovations for Renault:
- Emergency Steering Assist

Complementing these features is a fully connected cabin designed to enhance everyday convenience and deliver a seamless user experience. With its blend of safety, comfort and driving pleasure, Filante has been engineered to meet the expectations of tech-savvy global customers, particularly in the Korean market.
