On that day, a total of 847 vehicles were loaded onto a ship bound for Central and South America, including 220 units of the Philante, 418 units of the Arkana, and 209 units of the Grand Koleos. Renault Korea’s export lineup has now expanded to include the Philante, in addition to the existing Arkana and Grand Koleos models.

This export is significant as it marks an expansion of global sales for vehicles produced at Renault Korea’s Busan plant. Starting with Central and South America, the Philante is expected to serve as the Renault brand’s global flagship model.

The Philante was developed in line with Renault’s global lineup strategy, and is drawing attention for its refined design, spacious interior, and advanced convenience features, which are expected to make it highly competitive in overseas markets.

Renault Korea has previously expanded its export base by successfully launching the Arkana and Grand Koleos, both produced at the Busan plant, in overseas markets.

Debuting in the Korean market in March 2026, the Philante created an interior space called the “Premium Tech Lounge,” which combines first-class lounge seats and connectivity technologies.

Equipped with the “Hybrid E-Tech Powertrain” that delivers a maximum output of 250 ps and an official combined fuel efficiency of 15.1 km/L, the Philante provides both powerful performance and high efficiency. All trims come standard with features like Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and frequency-sensitive dampers, ensuring a quiet and comfortable driving experience.
