For Renault Filante, Nexen tires are chosen

Nexen will supply tires for the standard equipment of the new hybrid crossover Renault Filante, built on a platform from Geely and Volvo and produced in South Korea. Filante has become the largest model in the brand's current lineup, and Nexen tires will be fitted to vehicles for both the Korean and Latin American and Middle Eastern markets. 

The Filante is equipped with the all-season Nexen Roadian GTX tires with a diameter of 19 inches, designed for crossovers and SUVs and featuring a tread pattern with a wide contact patch and zigzag longitudinal grooves, designed to improve driving characteristics in various weather conditions, and the manufacturer also notes that the block layout scheme has been optimized to reduce noise in the cabin and increase acoustic comfort. 

Nexen began its partnership with Renault Korea (formerly Renault Samsung Motors) with the supply of tires for the mid-size crossover Grand Koleos, released in 2024. The company has been collaborating with foreign automakers since 2012 and currently supplies tires for vehicles of various classes, including premium models from European brands.

"We are continuously improving our technologies in line with the latest trends in the automotive industry, such as electrification and the expansion of artificial intelligence," said John Bosco (Hyun Sok) Kim, CEO of Nexen. "In the future, we will continue to develop strategic partnerships with global automakers to strengthen our position in international markets."
