With Filante, Renault unveils a premium crossover designed primarily for international markets.
Developed as part of the “Renault International Game Plan 2027,” this model illustrates a pragmatic and straightforward approach: to offer a prestigious vehicle that is technologically advanced and aesthetically pleasing, without excessive complexity.
Primarily aimed at South Korea, certain Latin American countries, and Gulf markets, Renault Filante fits into a now well-established dynamic. Models designed for emerging markets often rely on simple and concrete formulas: proven platforms, efficient hybrid powertrains, targeted technological features, and refined design. These elements could perfectly align with the expectations of a European clientele seeking versatile, rewarding, and rational vehicles. A philosophy that could resonate well beyond the targeted borders.

In terms of style, Filante does not hide its ambitions. This E-segment crossover adopts a fluid and bold silhouette, marked by a unique lighting signature and a tail that is aerodynamically refined. An aesthetic choice that stands out against a backdrop of market standardization and demonstrates that an international model can also evoke emotion.
The interior reflects the same logic: a technological and connected environment designed for everyday comfort. Lounge seats, improved sound insulation, and customizable ambient lighting indicate a clear commitment to premium quality. The latest generation driving aids, several of which are new to Renault, enhance the safety and functionality of the model.
In terms of mechanics, Renault Filante introduces an evolution of the 250 hp full hybrid E-Tech powertrain, paired with a DHT Pro gearbox. A coherent choice, betting on efficiency and versatility rather than on technological excess, an approach that has already been widely praised in many markets.
