2022 Renault Koleos is engineered to demand attention and make heads turn

-

MUSCAT: Renault’s first SUV the Koleos remains a favourite among customers and those looking for something different, which speaks volumes about the innovative­ness that the car was built on.

Well-defined edges make the overall profile of the 2022 Koleos appear solid and athletic and are one of the most prominent features in this new version. A great combinatio­n of power and refinement, the Koleos makes its presence felt with large shoulders and muscular side panels that are further enhanced by a robust frontend; broad, smart-looking tires; and a distinctly large wheelbase.

A spokespers­on for Renault Oman, from the house of Suhail Bahwan Automobile­s, said, “The 2022 car is engineered to demand attention and make heads turn. Offering off-road capability with its all-wheel-drive transmissi­on, Renault Koleos stands out with its assertive exterior design and enhanced interior comfort. With its athletic profile, robust front end, roomy seats, taut lines underscore­d with chrome, Renault Koleos allows owners to take their journey with confidence. Featuring a powerful and efficient new engine and more onboard technologi­es Renault Koleos fully embodies the values of the top of the Renault line-up.”

The all-mode 4x4-i transmissi­on results in a car that promises owners all the power and comfort they would require on the road. The engine can be switched between two- and four-wheel driving giving drivers the liberty and flexibilit­y to choose their own experience.

The car is engineered to mirror the comfort of being home, with spacious leg space, ventilated memory seats, a breathable cabin. With a choice of colours for the seats, owners can choose what defines them the best — for a roomier feeling, one can opt for lighter shades, while darker ones can be picked for more assertive looks. The 2022 Koleos also comes with all-new black titanium trims that replace its predecesso­r’s wooden trims. The car’s ambient lighting, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivi­ty, R-LINK 2 all make for a memorable drive each time. The 2022 Renault Koleos is certainly a notch above when it comes to contempora­ry SUVs that set out to offer a bit of everything to cater to all customers, no matter their drives.

The 2022 Renault Koleos also comes with additional features, such as rich acoustics with the BOSE audio system, lighting options, multimedia, navigation, Bluetooth and driving assistance systems in addition to easy park assist. Renault Koleos has been capturing everyone’s attention in Oman with its charismati­c, features rich and packed with safety attributes. If you are looking for a spacious SUV with elegant styling and unparallel­ed four-wheel drive technology, Renault Koleos is the car to buy.

Sabeel Al Mashari from Muscat says, “Renault Koleos stands out with its assertive exterior design and enhanced interior comfort. The wide-ranging suite of driverassi­stance systems and infotainme­nt options it offers make it a top brand.”

Afrah Al-Kharusi from Nizwa is fascinated with the brand’s easy trunk access and hand-free function. She says, “With a sensor located under the bumper, all you need is a simple gesture with your foot to open the boot with ease. It is very practical when your hands are full when returning from the office or shopping. I also like its 8.7” touchscree­n navigation with R-Link2 system & Bose sound, 5 colour ambient lighting.”

Sameer Zedjali from Rusayl likes Renault Koleos for its strong and high-end design, comfort and outstandin­g performanc­e. He says, “Koleos extends a variety of features that are among the most capable in the market. I particular­ly like its blind sport warning with flank protection warning, auto park assists and remote start engine with timer option.”

The model’s spacious cabininspi­red Taamir Al Hinai from Muscat into buying a Renault Koleos. “Renault Koleos has a 2,705 mm wheelbase – for a total vehicle length of 4,673mm – counts amongst the longest in the class and allows Koleos to boast record-breaking interior space to position itself as a D-segment SUV,” Taamir says.

Sohail Al Jabri, who loves to go on adventure drives, loves Renault Koleos All mode 4x4-i technology.“One can get off the beaten track with Renault Koleos at any time. Its all mode 4x4-i technology, swap between 2WD mode, Auto mode and 4x4 (lock) mode is really impressive. It offers an ideal balance of torque between the front and rear wheels for perfect grip in all circumstan­ces,” he adds.
