New Renault Koleos

With the redesign of mid-career, the Renault Koleos gains a new front: the two side air intakes at the side of the “nose” with the lozenge gives way to a unique grille, chrome. Even the headlights have been redesigned door mirrors and appear for the first time the indicators. Other small changes were made to the dashboard and upholstery, in addition, there are circles of the new design and a brand new body color, orange Cayenne. The rest of the car, including the tail, remains unchanged from the model presented in 2008.

Less emissions.

It does not change either the range of engines: two remain the 2.0 dCi turbo diesel 150 and 175 horsepower, coupled with front-wheel drive (only 150 hp) or whole. Now, however, the engines are certified to emit less CO2 for the entry-level version 2.0 dCi 150 4×2 CV, Casa says 148 g / km of CO2 compared to the previous 167.

Non-European markets.
The Koleos is produced in the plant in Busan in Korea, is the first product of cooperation between the French company and Samsung – which markets it under the name QM5 – and is sold in 40 markets around the world. 70% of sales of Koleos place outside Europe, in Italy, in 2010, was registered in 1,750 copies.

To refresh groped to raise its stake, after a first round on the sly, at least in the Italian market (just over 9,000 copies in about four years, almost all 4×4), Renault Koleos has jumped to readjustments in the workshop face. Use this opportunity to also update the list of upholstery for the interior and for the filing of its CO2 output of diesel. The finished result, Renault Koleos 2012, we can touch him at the next Frankfurt Motor Show. Let’s see in detail how changes from the first.

The restyling of the chest out Koleos partly follows the current fashion, and partly goes against the trend. Like many other SUV these days is aimed at a simplification of the front, hence the disappearance of the two air intakes on the nose, the middle one long, narrow, and the work of engraving done on the headlights now more oval shaped. The grille, however, earns a wide horizontal grille slats and masculine, which gives Koleos a muscular appearance, when elsewhere the trend is to thin the mini grid to make it look like a dowry to the saloons of the range.

Decreasing number on the tail instead of a leaf does not move: the Renault Koleos 2012 remains substantially the same as the previous version, complete with distinctive sloping rear window. Other exterior features that distinguish it from the outside are just looking at details, such as newly designed wheels and door mirrors with integrated LED lights. To find other news must then cross the threshold of the door and come across the new range of upholstery fabrics and planned for the interior. Or comb through the data sheet where it turns out that the two diesels, the 150 and the 175-hp, lowered emissions, respectively 17 and 8 g / km of CO2.

The Renault Koleos comes standard with keyless start the vehicle, assisted brake, the automatic headlamp and windscreen wipers, or the satellite navigation system built into the dashboard Carminat TomTom Live, the Hill- assists and control system of the downhill speed. Luxe is in setting the stereo with Bose 7-speaker, digital amplifier and subwoofer.
