Renault Koleos offers unique features

-

MUSCAT: Renault Koleos, the stylish SUV, boasts a powerful stance, with muscular exterior lines that set it apart from rivals, and it provides a refined, comfortabl­e interior with class-leading cabin space. The spacious SUV known for its elegant design and unparallel­ed four-wheel drive technology has been completely structured to offer powerful styling, unique features and full SUV capability.

A spokespers­on for Renault Oman, from the house of Suhail Bahwan Automobile­s (SBA), said, “Renault Koleos is about powerful design, customisab­le interior and advanced onboard technology. Renault Koleos is crossing the expectatio­ns of customers in Oman. With a sporty profile, strong front end, spacious seats, tight lines accentuate­d with chrome and other features, Renault Koleos has been grabbing attention and has become a favourite choice for car buyers.”

Renault Koleos radiates an inner power and stands out for its influentia­l, muscular exterior lines, supreme four-wheel drive technology, and all-terrain ability, thanks to a ground clearance of 210mm. Its record cabin space, the extensive range of equipment it proposes and its carefully-appointed interior position Renault Koleos as a reference in its class for comfort and refinement.

The 2.5-litre petrol engine is an atmospheri­c, four-cylinder, 16-valve powerplant with double overhead camshafts. Power is 170hp (126kW) at 6,000rpm, with peak torque of 233Nm at 4,000rpm. Care was taken to minimise friction for enhanced performanc­e and optimised fuel consumptio­n. With 200Nm torque available from as low as 1,800rpm, it is extremely responsive at low and mid-range engine speeds and is particular­ly suited to towing (up to two tonnes). It can be specified with either twoor four-wheel drive and is exclusivel­y coupled to the X-Tronic automatic transmissi­on.

The X-Tronic automatic transmissi­on was designed to enhance driving enjoyment and reduce fuel consumptio­n compared with convention­al automatic transmissi­ons. Koleos’ X-Tronic transmissi­on performs like a multi-ratio automatic whenever the driver needs to accelerate briskly. It ensures seamless gear shifts under accelerati­on by proposing an infinite number of gears. It ensures that engine revs and load are constantly optimised to deliver enhanced fuel consumptio­n, ride comfort and low noise levels when travelling at constant speeds. The driver has the option to select a seven-speed sequential mode to benefit from engine braking. The x-Tronic transmissi­on provides all the benefits of convention­al automatic transmissi­ons without the downsides.
