Renault pushes upmarket with flagship Koleos SUV

Renault’s upmarket Koleos SUV has been officially unveiled at the Beijing Motor Show. The French carmaker’s all-new flagship SUV is geared to reach 80 markets, including Australia.

“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.”

The new Koleos boasts a powerful stance, with muscular exterior lines that set it apart from the crowd. Inside, the Koleos promises class-leading cabin space, including 289mm of knee room for rear occupants.

A key feature of the new Koleos’ interior is R-Link 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.

The new Koleos will also feature all-terrain capabilities, ensuring excellent ride, handling and stability. Employing Renault’s four-wheel drive system, the Koleos features all mode 4 x 4-i technology that makes it easy to switch between 2WD, 4WD Auto and 4WD Lock modes.

The new Renault Koleos is scheduled to be introduced into the Australian market later this year.
