“The all-new Koleos is an extremely important model for us,” said Renault Australia Managing Director, Mr. Justin Hocevar. “The new model is vastly different from anything we have offered in Australia or New Zealand.
“We are the first market to sell the all-new Koleos and performed local pre-series testing. Coupled with the vehicle’s outstanding specification levels and value for money, this demonstrates not only how important the Koleos is for Australia but also Renault’s global commitment to this market and our region.”
The all-new Koleos will be the flagship of Renault’s range in Australia and brings a number of new safety technologies, specifications and all-new styling.
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) to provide smooth and dynamic driving.
Outside, the new Koleos has taut, powerful, muscular lines. It is instantly recognisable as a Renault flagship, echoing the styling cues of Renault’s prestige sedan, the Talisman.
Inside, the Koleos features a refined, comfortable interior and ambient cabin lighting that can be customised to suit the driver’s mood. The new R-LINK2 system has a seven inch touch screen in the Life and Zen models. In the Intens model, this is replaced by a portrait 8.7 inch screen, offering the same tactile functions as a tablet.
