Human first program
This strategy sets out Renault's commitment to improving safety for drivers, passengers and other road users.

The first "new generation" model of Renault to be developed in Korea, new Renault Grand Koleos perfectly embodies the brand's values, which place the human being at the center. This large SUV of the D segment, modern and technological, is driven by its elegant design and the new onboard living experience it offers.

It also stands out for its engines, including the innovative E-Tech hybrid 245, the safety and driving comfort provided by its 31 ADAS, and its Alpine-inspired finish, a symbol of emotion, high-end and sportiness. _ Stéphane Deblaise, CEO of Renault Korea
