Renault Korea’s midsize SUV, the Grand Koleos, has taken on a more refined French-inspired character with its 2027 model-year update.
According to the automotive industry on the 22nd, Renault Korea launched the 2027 Grand Koleos in September, adding a new exterior color, Satin Nocturne Blue, and introducing a special white edition called Étoile.
Satin Nocturne Blue features a matte finish that conveys understated elegance. Paired with the vehicle’s three-dimensional lozenge-pattern lines, the blue exterior accentuates the Grand Koleos’ distinctive silhouette, which combines a bold stance with flowing contours.
Inspired by the starlight illuminating Paris’ night sky, Étoile is a special edition finished in white. Built around the Cloud Pearl body color, it features exclusive 20-inch two-tone Peak alloy wheels, Cloud Pearl wheel arches and a lozenge-pattern grille, enhancing the vehicle’s overall exterior design.
The interior also receives Étoile-specific touches. A Nappa-look synthetic leather instrument panel center trim is complemented by blue or white contrast stitching matched to the seat color, creating a refined yet warm atmosphere.
Alongside these design updates, Renault Korea has enhanced the vehicle’s practical value. The Iconic trim, the midlevel option with the highest customer preference, is priced 450,000 won lower than its 2026 counterpart, a reduction of about $300. Acoustic windshield glass is now standard to improve cabin quietness. The trim also offers a comprehensive range of convenience and safety features, including full LED lamps, a 360-degree 3D Around View system and the OpenR panoramic screen.
Alongside the launch of the updated Grand Koleos, Renault Korea has also revised the trim lineup for its midsize-large crossover utility vehicle (CUV), the Filante. The company has added Techno as an entry-level trim. Priced competitively at approximately $29,300, it comes standard with advanced features including a 360-degree Around View system, active noise cancellation and A.Dot Auto, an AI-powered voice recognition system.
