Renault Korea (CEO Nicolas Paris) officially announced on the 3rd that it has shipped the first overseas export batch of its global E-segment crossover model 'Phelante', produced at its Busan plant, and is now fully launching its strategy to penetrate the Latin American and Caribbean markets. With this move, Renault Korea now boasts an export lineup of three models: Arkana, Grand Koleos, and Phelante.
Renault Korea completed the shipment of vehicles destined for Latin America and the Caribbean at Pier 4 of Masan Port on July 31. The total shipment volume amounts to 847 units, including 220 initial units of Phelante, 418 Arkana models, and 209 Grand Koleos units. Renault Korea plans to begin its global flagship model's role in overseas markets starting with Phelante's entry into Latin America and the Caribbean, while simultaneously promoting increased production capacity at the Busan plant and strengthening its competitiveness for global exports.
The Phelante, now heading for export, is Renault's global mid-size (E-segment) crossover vehicle first launched in the domestic market in March 2026. Combining the body advantages of sedans and SUVs, it implements a 'Premium Tech Lounge' environment that integrates First Class lounge seats and advanced technology into the interior space.
Powered by an upgraded HYBE-led E-Tech powertrain delivering a maximum output of 250 horsepower (ps), the vehicle achieves a government-certified combined fuel efficiency of 15.1 km/l. To enhance interior quietness and ride comfort, 'Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)' and 'Frequency-Responsive Dampers' have been fully applied as standard equipment across all trims.
Renault Korea stated that by adding Phelante to the overseas sales performance of Arkana and Grand Koleos, which have been produced at its Busan plant, it aims to strengthen its global sales lineup. The company also plans to continuously expand the number of export target countries and shipment volumes to elevate the brand's position in overseas markets and enhance the production capabilities of the Busan plant.
