Renault introduced the Koleos in 2010 as its first SUV built together with Samsung Motors and introduced a facelift for it in 2013.
The French carmaker chose the Buenos Aires Motor Show to unveil the facelifted version of its SUV, the Koleos. It was built together with its Korean partner, Samsung Motors, and updated with technological items and up to date design cues that fit Renault’s style.

The facelifted Koleos incorporated the French carmaker’s new design elements on its street vehicles, such as the Laguna-inspired headlights. Its grille looked wider and sported chromed horizontal slats that supported the bigger rhomboidal Renault badge at the front. In the rear, the taillights were identical to those installed on the first, non-facelifted, Koleos.

Inside, the designers’ team went wild with plenty of modifications, which started from the infotainment system and ending with the seats. An R-Link unit took center stage of the dashboard and brought together more controls for the climate control and the audio system. Renault installed a new safety system, named Blind Spot Warning, which helped the driver while overtaking and provided a visual alert when another vehicle was in the blind spot.

Under the hood, Renault offered a small choice of diesel and gasoline engines, paired to either a manual or an automatic (CVT) gearbox.
