The French manufacturer revealed its new generation of the D-segment SUV Koleos in 2016 in China.
In keeping with the Renault design strategy introduced by Laurens van den Acker, the new Koleos is covered by a so-called design pillar “EXPLORE”, which stands for robustness and a taste for adventure.

The new Koleos increased in size compared to the previous generation, reaching 4.67m in length (183.8 in) ,leaving more room for the five passengers inside. From the LED headlights (depending on versions) there are strips that run along the wings to visually lengthen the front end and induce an impression of dynamism.

Inside, the driver has a TFT 7” instrument cluster plus the the new R-Link 2 with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, which can be ordered either as a 7” landscape mode or a 8.7 inch portrait. The whole interior lightning uses LED technology. For long trips or weekly supplies, Renault made a 542 liters (19.1 cu-ft) trunk, which can be extended up to 1690 liters (59.6 cu-ft). Last but not least, the new Koleos’ cabin is particularly bright thanks to a large, opening glass sun roof 0.80 sq-m (8.6 sq-ft) in size, which extends over the rear seats.

The car’s powertrains have been developed within the Alliance and, depending on the market, the model is available with either gasoline or diesel engines, with power outputs ranging from 130 to 175 hp. The transmissions available are either 6-speed manual or an X-Tronic CVT.
