Renault moves KOLEOS up-market as the brand’s first D-segment SUV.

New KOLEOS features new design, a new platform, new dimensions, new engines.

New KOLEOS to be Renault’s flagship model for China, joining Captur, Kadjar, on sale now.

 

Beijing, China – Today at the Beijing International Automobile Exhibition, Groupe Renault Chairman and CEO Carlos Ghosn revealed the new Renault KOLEOS, a high-end, totally redesigned SUV geared to reach 80 markets.

“Today in Beijing, we mark the world premiere of the all-new, flagship SUV Renault KOLEOS” said Groupe Renault Chairman and CEO Carlos Ghosn. “KOLEOS has been completely re-engineered with powerful styling, unique features and full SUV capability.”

The new KOLEOS boasts a powerful stance, with muscular exterior lines that set it apart from rivals, and it provides a refined, comfortable interior with class-leading cabin space, including 289mm of rear knee room for occupants. Featured tailored by market include a heated steering wheel and easy defrosting for cold climates and a cabin air filter that cuts pollen, dust and unpleasant odours.

A protective interior
The new KOLEOS offers an elevated driving position with excellent visibility. Compared to a traditional sedan, the new KOLEOS’ driving position is 150mm higher than traditional sedans, a reassuring feature that is highly prized by SUV buyers. Hand grips on either side of the centre console echo the world of off-road motoring while imbuing the interior with a sporty feel. 

Flagship SUV
Best in class, user-friendly 4x4 technology features all mode 4x4-i technology, an all-wheel drive system that makes it easy to switch back and forth between 2WD, 4WD AUTO and 4WD LOCK modes. The new KOLEOS 4x4 transmission also guarantees enhanced safety and stability by neutralising understeer and oversteer and by optimising grip in difficult conditions. The new KOLEOS also delivers all-terrain ability, with ground clearance of 213mm.

Connected on-board experience
A key feature of the new KOLEOS interior and travelling comfort is R-Link 2, a connected, personalisable experience. This system serves as a connected control centre to coordinate functions like BOSE audio, infotainment, navigation, hands-free telephony, radio and driver aids.

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
Depending on the market, the new KOLEOS comes with a large array of driver assistance capabilities and options, all of which can be controlled via the R-LINK 2 tablet. 

To reassure: Active Emergency Braking System.

To alert: Lane departure warning, safe distance warning, traffic sign recognition with excess speed warning, blind spot warning, tiredness detection.

To assist: rear view camera, automatic high/low beam, headlights, front, rear and side parking sensors, and easy park assist.

New KOLEOS completes Renault’s high-end range that now includes the Espace crossover, the Talisman large saloon car and Talisman Estate station wagon. It also completes the design renaissance of the Renault range. New KOLEOS is instantly recognisable as a top-of-the-range Renault, thanks notably to its front-end design that incorporates a prominent Renault logo set at the centre of a broad chrome grille.

New KOLEOS will be produced at two plants – Busan in South Korea for all markets except China, plus Wuhan, China for the Chinese market. Both facilities meet Renault’s stringent manufacturing quality standards and currently produce vehicles built on the CMF-C/D architecture for brands belonging to Groupe Renault.

Mi sembra di aver capito a furia di martellamenti negli ultimi mesi, che ora, bello o brutto che sia ( e questo...... non fa parte dei primi) i Suv nel listino devono essere tanti, tanti tanti tanti.

mmm...molto americana

Davvero l'hanno chiamato come il suo "fortunato" predecessore........................

"fortunato"...

Senza ombra di dubbio, almeno, è più carino di quello che va a sostituire. Peccato il nome.....ma tra Kaptur, Kadjar e Koleos......non so quale sia più orrendo (il nome intendo).

 

Spero che dentro sia fatta meglio delle ultime creazioni Renault, ma tanto so già che avrà quell'orribile plancia/tablet piatta e ricca di riflessi al sole.........

 

Tuttavia, fuori non è male da quel che si vede, anche se ormai trovare una vettura "seria" è diventato un'impresa, tutti SUV ormai.....

trovo sempre meglio la versione Nissan, questo corso Renault lo trovo contemporaneamente anonimo e troppo pesante.

La parentela con l'Xtrail si vede tutta....

Io lo avrei chiamato X trail ugly edition.

Ci hanno messo poco a sostituire il precedente insomma...

Migliorato, ma non ci voleva molto
