Renault Korea has started mass production of Filante, its global flagship crossover, at its Busan plant, celebrating a first-vehicle rollout on Tuesday. Blending sedan-like comfort with the robustness of an SUV, Filante features a premium tech lounge interior, a 250-horsepower E-Tech hybrid powertrain and advanced AI-based connectivity and safety systems. Priced from 43.31 million won ($29,400), customer deliveries are set to begin in March.
