All-new Renault Koleos pricing and specification

Renault Australia has announced the full pricing and lineup of the all-new Renault Koleos SUV, which is set to go on sale from 1 August 2016.

The model will be the flagship of Renault’s range in Australia and thus, brings a number of new safety technologies and specifications.

Three variants will be available: Life, Zen and Intens. This brings Australian vehicles in-line with global nomenclature. All have a 2.5 litre engine delivering 126kW at 6000rpm and 226Nm of torque at 4400rpm, coupled with a re-engineered CVT (Xtronic) transmission.

Inside, the Koleos features a more refined interior complete with ambient cabin lighting that can be customised to suit the driver’s mood. The new R-LINK2 system has a 7 inch touch screen in the Life and Zen models, while the Intens model gets a portrait 8.7 inch screen, said to offer the same tactile functions as a tablet.
