Renault Korea (CEO Nicolas Paris) has announced that its global flagship crossover, 'FILANTE', equipped with HYBE-led ETech technology, has been chosen as the new official vehicle for the French Ambassador to Korea.
The vehicle handover ceremony was held on August 25 at the French Embassy in Korea, where Renault Korea CEO Nicolas Paris personally handed over the Filante's smart key to Philippe Bertoux, the French Ambassador to Korea.
Launched in the domestic market this March, the Filante is an E-segment crossover model that combines the advantages of sedans and SUVs. The vehicle features a spacious interior based on the premium tech lounge concept, along with advanced convenience and connectivity specifications. It meets the dignity and stability required for diplomatic schedules through quiet driving technology and safety features standard across all trims, powered by the HYBE-led ETech powertrain.

Ambassador Bertoux stated, "The Filante is a perfect ambassador of promotion that symbolizes the excellence and elegance of French technology." He added, "Produced in Busan by Renault Korea, the Filante embodies the success and potential of cooperation between France and Korea. Its launch in this significant year commemorating the 140th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries adds even greater meaning to its introduction."
Meanwhile, Ambassador Bertoux, who arrived in Korea in July 2023, has held key positions in both domestic and international diplomacy for France.
