Renault Korea is preparing to enter the electric vehicle (EV) market with its first locally developed EV expected to be launched in 2028, marking a major step in the company’s electrification strategy in South Korea.
The move reflects Renault’s broader global shift toward electrification, as automakers accelerate investment in EV platforms to meet tightening emissions regulations and changing consumer demand.
The upcoming model is expected to be developed with a focus on advanced connectivity and efficiency, aligning with the growing demand for software-driven and smart mobility solutions in the EV segment.
Renault Korea’s entry into the EV space also positions it to compete more directly in the fast-growing Korean electric car market, which is currently dominated by domestic manufacturers.
The launch is seen as part of the company’s long-term plan to strengthen its presence in Asia while transitioning its portfolio toward zero-emission vehicles.
