The E‑segment model features a 250 hp E‑Tech hybrid with two motors plus a small battery optimized for urban efficiency.

Overview

  • Renault held the world premiere in Seoul and positioned the Filante for South Korea, Latin America and the Middle East, with no European launch confirmed for now.
  • The model will be assembled at Renault’s Busan plant, with Korea as the initial market and broader rollouts planned from 2027 to Gulf states and South America.
  • Measuring about 4.915 meters long with a 2.82‑meter wheelbase, the Filante enters the large premium SUV‑coupé class targeted at E‑segment buyers.
