In addition, the newcomer features Renault’s advanced, intelligent all-wheel drive system with Trajectory Control. The system seamlessly splits torque between the front and rear axles, depending on traction requirements, allowing instant grip and dynamic, sure-footed handling on and off the road.
The new six-speed automatic gearbox featuring swift, smooth gear shifts is coupled to a new version of the 2.0 dCi turbodiesel engine. The four-cylinder unit is fitted with common-rail direct diesel injection and a diesel particulate filter, and is Euro 5 compliant.
The engine has a rated maximum power output of 110kW at 4 000rpm, while the torque peak of 320Nm is reached at 2 000rpm. As a result, performance is brisk, with the new Koleos reaching a top speed of 173 km/h.
The dCi unit’s efficiency also ensures impressively frugal fuel consumption and low CO2 exhaust emissions. Combined-cycle consumption comes to 7.9 litres/100 km, with a CO2 emissions rating of 197 g/km.
The newcomer’s Dynamique Premium specification allows for a comprehensive array of standard equipment. The list includes cruise control, an Arkamys 3D sound system incorporating six loudspeakers and Bluetooth connectivity, an integrated Tomtom satellite navigation system, and a hands-free keycard.
Also standard is bi-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery, heated and electrically adjustable driver seat, and a full complement of active and passive safety features, which have earned the Koleos a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating.
Standard under the Renault Confiance banner, all Koleos models are supported by a comprehensive after-sales customer support package that includes a five-year/150 000km warranty and a five-year/100 000km service plan.
