Crossover Combining Sedan and SUV
Renault Korea announced on January 20 that it will hold the "Maison Philante" event, where customers can directly experience the crossover "Philante."
The event will be held for seven days until the 26th at Starfield COEX Mall in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Visitors can experience the new car's interior and exterior with the assistance of a professional docent. There is also a dedicated Philante accessory zone available. In addition, Megabox The Boutique will operate a first-class lounge for pre-invited guests, introducing the unique features of the Philante.
The Philante will also be available at the Renault Seongsu flagship store until February 2. The types of vehicles on display will vary depending on the visit date. Until the 27th, only the Esprit Alpine trim in Satin Universe White will be on display, while from the 28th to February 2, the Iconic trim in Satin Forest Black will be additionally exhibited. A pop-up booth will also be operated at Starfield City Myeongji in Gangseo-gu, Busan from the 28th to February 2.
The Philante, newly introduced by Renault as a global flagship model, features a unique crossover style that combines the characteristics of both a sedan and an SUV. Design details such as the illuminated signature lozenge logo on the front and the grille lighting express a sleek and dynamic body. The integrated headrest "First Class Lounge Seat" applied to the interior offers best-in-class comfort.
The hybrid E-Tech powertrain installed in the Philante delivers a maximum system output of 250 horsepower for even greater power. All trims are equipped with the "Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)" feature as standard, providing flagship-level driving quietness. The "openR Panoramic Screen," which extends to the passenger seat, offers advanced AI-based connectivity services based on upgraded hardware performance. Up to 34 advanced driving assistance and safety features ensure a comfortable and safe driving environment.
The purchase price of the Renault Philante, based on the application of individual consumption tax reduction and eco-friendly vehicle tax benefits, ranges from 43,319,000 won to 49,719,000 won depending on the trim. The Esprit Alpine 1955, limited to 1,955 units, is available for 52,189,000 won.
The Philante is currently available for contract at Renault Korea showrooms nationwide, with display vehicles scheduled to arrive next month. Production is taking place at the Renault Korea Busan plant, and customer deliveries are planned to begin sequentially starting in March.
