Renault released the details of its new Koleos SUV, with the first deliveries this summer. The new French SUV will be available with two diesel engine options, the FWD 1.6-litre dCi 130 and the all-wheel drive 2.0-litre dCi 175.

Customers gunning for the range-topping 2.0-litre version will also be offered the option of a seven-speed X-Tronic automatic transmission, with a six-speed manual offered as standard.


Based on the same CMF C/D platform that underpins several Renaults and Nissans, including the rival X-Trail, the new Renault Koleos claims to offer exceptional interior space for five passengers.

The new Renault Koleos also comes with a wide range of driver assistance systems, including Emergency Braking System (AEBS), Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Over-speed Prevention with Traffic Sign Recognition and Hill Start Assist.


The infotainment system utilizes a standard 7-inch touchscreen display with satellite navigation, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, with an optional 8.7-inch portrait-style touchscreen offered as an option.

Prices commence at £ 27,500 for the Koleos dCi 130. The more powerful dCi 175 version starts from £ 30,400, with the automatic version asking for an additional £ 1,500.
