New Renault Koleos reasserts the dynamic personality of the original thanks to Elegant, but even more expressive front-end styling, while its carefully-finished interior Delivers the expected package of refined appointments and travelling comfort.
The model will be available with either the 2.5-litre petrol engine (TR 25) or the 2.0 dCi diesel (M9R), which itself comes in a choice of two power outputs: 110 or 127kW (150 or 175hp). The CO2 emissions of the diesel powerplants have been reduced significantly and the 4x2 dCi 150 version emits only 148g/km.
New Renault Koleos, which can be specified with either 4x2 or 4x4 transmission, is a genuinely versatile vehicle.

Its extensive equipment specification includes all Renault's latest useful and intuitive technologies, including parking sensors, hands-free entry and ignition, joystick-operated Carminat TomTom Live navigation and Hill Start Assist. Depending on market, the catalogue features a choice of two or three equipment levels.
