The new full hybrid SUV, called 'Renault Filante,' was launched in South Korea and is set to strengthen the brand's presence in Asian and Middle Eastern markets.

The car features dual-barrel LED headlamps in the bumper area, sharp LED DRLs, and a grille design with small LED elements. There are also sharp lines on the sides.
