Filante is Renault's new global flagship midsize (E-segment) crossover launched in Korea in March. It is a model that combines the advantages of a sedan and a sport-utility vehicle (SUV), with a roomy interior and advanced convenience features.

Ambassador Bertoux said, "Filante is a perfect ambassador symbolizing the excellence and elegance of French technology," and "Filante produced by Renault Korea in Busan embodies the success and potential of cooperation between France and Korea, and its launch in a meaningful year marking the 140th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries makes it even more significant."
