Iconic trim gets price cut vs. 2026 model
New exterior color added
Grand Koleos 'Étoile Edition' unveiled
Filante 'Techno' trim deliveries begin
Renault Korea announced Tuesday the launch of the 2027 model year Grand Koleos midsize family SUV along with a new Étoile Edition.
Marking the second anniversary of the Grand Koleos, the 2027 model introduces a new "Satin Nocturne Blue" exterior color and strengthens the price competitiveness of the Iconic trim — the mid-range grade that has proven most popular with customers.
The Iconic trim has been reconfigured around features that improve real-world satisfaction, including sound-insulating windshield glass as standard, a newly added frameless rearview mirror, and solar windshield glass when the augmented-reality head-up display option is selected. By making certain convenience packages optional, Renault Korea cut the trim's price by 450,000 won ($327) compared with the 2026 model year.
The Limited White Edition "Étoile" draws inspiration from the starlit night sky over Paris, adopting an all-white concept. Built on the Esprit Alpine grade, it features a Cloud Pearl body color, dedicated 20-inch two-tone peak alloy wheels and exclusive interior trim, delivering a more differentiated aesthetic.
Deliveries of the Techno trim of Renault's global flagship Filante — which made its domestic debut in March — will begin in September.
The Filante Techno trim maintains the most accessible price point in the lineup while coming loaded with features befitting a flagship model: advanced driver-assistance systems, full LED lamps, frequency-sensitive dampers, 360-degree 3D surround-view monitoring, a power tailgate, an Open R panoramic screen (excluding the front passenger display), unlimited 5G data, AI voice recognition via A. (Edot) Auto, active noise cancellation, and a three-zone fully automatic independent climate control system. The price is 43.95 million won (based on eco-friendly vehicle tax incentives).
Meanwhile, Renault Korea continues to roll out a range of customer-focused marketing initiatives for Grand Koleos buyers, including a "60-Day Return Guarantee Program" that allows customers to drive the vehicle for up to 60 days after purchase and return it under certain conditions.
