Nicola Paris, President of Renault Korea, personally handed over the smart key of the Philant to Philippe Bertoux, the French Ambassador to Korea, during a handover ceremony held at the French Embassy in Korea on the 25th.


The Philant is a model that combines the design advantages of a sedan and a sport utility vehicle (SUV), features a spacious interior with a premium tech lounge concept, and is equipped with advanced convenience and connectivity specifications. It was launched in Korea in March.


The quietly operating drive technologies and safety features, which are applied as standard across all trims, as well as the Hybrid E-Tech powertrain, are valued as elements that meet the dignity and stability required for diplomatic duties.



Ambassador Bertoux commented, "The Philant is a perfect ambassador symbolizing the excellence and elegance of French technology," adding, "Produced by Renault Korea in Busan, the Philant embodies the success and potential of Franco-Korean cooperation. Its launch during this particularly meaningful year, marking the 140th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries, makes it even more significant."
