Renault moves Koleos up-market as the brand’s first D-segment SUV. New Koleos features a new design, new platform, new dimensions. New Koleos to be Renault’s flagship model for Australia. The all-new Koleos was revealed at the Beijing International Automobile Exhibition by Groupe Renault Chairman and CEO, Carlos Ghosn earlier this year. The exciting new model is set to become the flagship model for Renault Australia as sales started in August.
“Today in Beijing, we mark the world premiere of the all-new, flagship SUV Renault Koleos,” said Groupe Renault Chairman and CEO Carlos Ghosn. “Koleos has been completely re-engineered with powerful styling, unique features and full SUV capability.”
Following the international reveal, Dean Mostert, Sales Manager of Warragul Renault commented: “We’re very excited to see the allnew Koleos. The current Koleos has been a strong seller for us and this all new model will undoubtedly continue that success. “The new Koleos is a well-equipped vehicle which will allow us to compete in a very important segment in the local market” said Dean.
The new Koleos boasts a powerful stance, with muscular exterior lines that set it apart from rivals and provides a refined, comfortable interior with class-leading cabin space, including 289mm of knee room for rear occupants.
A protective interior
The new Koleos offers an elevated driving position with excellent visibility. Compared to a traditional sedan, the new Koleos’ driving position is 150mm higher, a reassuring feature that is highly prized by SUV buyers. Hand grips on either side of the centre console echo the world of off-road motoring while providing the interior with a sporty feel.
Flagship SUV
Renault’s user-friendly four-wheel drive system features all mode 4x4-i technology that makes it easy to switch between 2WD, 4WD Auto and 4WD Lock modes. The new Koleos 4x4 transmission also guarantees enhanced safety and stability by neutralising understeer and oversteer and optimising grip in difficult conditions. The new Koleos also delivers allterrain ability, with impressive ground clearance.
On-board experience
A key feature of the new Koleos’ interior is RLink 2, a user-configurable experience. This system serves as a control centre to coordinate functions like Bose audio, infotainment, navigation, hands-free telephony, radio and driver aids.
In line with its market position, the new Renault Koleos will come equipped with a wide array of contemporary driver assistance systems that can be controlled from the RLINK2 tablet.
New Koleos is instantly recognisable as a top-of-the-range Renault, thanks notably to its front-end design that incorporates a prominent Renault logo set at the centre of a broad chrome grille.
New Koleos will be produced at two plants – Busan in South Korea for all markets except China, plus Wuhan, China for the Chinese market. Both facilities meet Renault’s stringent manufacturing quality standards and currently produce vehicles built on the CMF-C/D architecture for brands belonging to Groupe Renault.
