SMC Renault New Cars - Renault Koleos

Koleos is Renault’s first-ever entry into the crossover segment, boasting MPV levels of comfort and interior space combined with robust exterior styling and genuine off-road ability. Its practicality is evident in its split-opening tailgate, 70 litres of stowage space and impressive boot volume of up to 1,380 litres with the rear seats folded. Off-road, Koleos excels with innovative features such as Hill Start Assist, Hill Descent Control system, the ‘all mode 4x4i’ system and approach and departure angles of 27 and 31 degrees respectively.

Available in three trim levels, Dynamique, Dynamique S and Privilège, with two diesel engines, dCi 150 and dCi 175 with a choice of six-speed manual or automatic gearbox and prices starting at £17,995 rising to £24,695 a very complete and competitive package I am sure you will agree?

As well as the four-wheel drive, Koleos will also be available in permanent two-wheel drive form appealing to those who enjoy its distinctive, crossover looks and spacious MPV-like versatility complete with high visibility driving position, but have no need to use the vehicle off-road.

Koleos features some new-for-Renault technology, benefiting from the knowledge and expertise of the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The Hill Start Assist function on Renault Koleos is just as useful for everyday motoring as it is off-road. The system is automatically activated on gradients of more than 10% to prevent the vehicle from slipping back down the slope. It also means there is no need for the driver to switch rapidly from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal which is inherent in other vehicles.

The Hill Descent Control system offers even safer off-road motoring. This function is activated via a switch on the central fascia and automatically holds the vehicle’s speed at a maximum of four mph on downhill gradients of 10% or more without the need to use the brakes. Particularly useful when Koleos is use off-road, this system also contributes to active safety since it allows the vehicle’s downhill speed to be controlled on steep, snowy or icy slopes. It also works in reverse gear, too.
