The Roadian GTX will be supplied as original equipment on the Renault Filante, a crossover model that combines the characteristics of a sedan and an SUV and is equipped with Renault Korea’s latest hybrid powertrain.
Hybrid vehicles place elevated technical demands on tires due to the simultaneous use of an electric motor and an internal combustion engine. Nexen Tire will supply the all-season Roadian GTX tire for the Filante. The supply covers the Korean domestic market as well as export models destined for Latin America and the Middle East.
The Roadian GTX, Nexen Tire’s all-season tire for SUVs and crossover utility vehicles, will be supplied in a 19in specification. Engineered to deliver reliable all-season driving performance, the Roadian GTX features a zigzag tread design across a wide contact patch that distributes road pressure evenly to support stable handling. A precision load distribution structure enhances road grip, while a low-noise-optimized block arrangement ensures the ride quietness demanded by electrified vehicles.
This supply deepens Nexen Tire’s partnership with Renault Korea, following the company’s OE fitment for the Grand Koleos mid-size SUV launched in 2024.
“We are continuously advancing our tire technology to keep pace with the next generation of mobility, where electrification and artificial intelligence are converging,” said John Bosco (Hyeon Suk) Kim, CEO of Nexen Tire. “We will further strengthen our strategic partnerships with global auto makers to solidify our presence in international markets and enhance the company’s overall value.”
