2017 Renault Koleos Preview

The new Renault Koleos 2017 has been revealed and the French automaker has showcased the new SUV in China. This is the new SUV that will be making its way into India as well. The new-generation Koleos will have a lot of new features and will have a new design language too.

2017 Renault Koleos Design:

Renault claims that the new Koleos 2017 is an SUV that packs all the styling cues and capabilities associated with the segment. In keeping with the Renault design strategy introduced by Laurens van den Acker. The new SUV has the the pursuit of these qualities that inspired Renault’s designers to give the new KOLEOS taut, powerful, muscular lines. New Koleos features classic SUV design cues door protective moulding, large-diameter wheels (up to 19 inches), aluminium roof bars.

The 2,710mm wheelbase – for a total vehicle length of 4,670mm – counts amongst the longest in the class and allows the new KOLEOS to boast record-breaking interior space to position itself as a D-segment SUV.

At the rear, Renault’s trademark style is again prominently on display. The wide, horizontal tail lights amplify the impression of width (1,840mm) and draw the eye to the Renault diamond logo on the tailgate. Chrome inserts set into the lower part of the rear bumper take the shape of twin exhaust tail pipes, a detail that is complementary with the KOLEOS’ overall exterior design. A Full LED lighting signature recalling that of Renault’s latest models

2017 Renault Kolas 4×4 Technology:

The new Koleos’ ALL MODE 4×4-i technology has already proven its capability in millions of Alliance vehicles around the world. This all-wheel drive system is extremely easy to use thanks to a switch on the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel that offers a choice between the 2WD (front-wheel drive) and 4WD AUTO modes. The latter automatically splits the torque between the front and rear wheels. At slow speeds in low-grip conditions, a third mode called 4WD LOCK allows the driver to select permanent all-wheel drive.

2017 Renault Koleos Interior:

The new Koleos’ interior subtly blends robust SUV cues with the impression of quality expected of a large family saloon thanks to the use of attractive, scratch-resistant materials such as satin-finish chrome for the steering wheel, gear lever and air vent inserts. The centre console is covered by a protective film that is hardy and pleasing to the touch. The cushion-backed materials selected for the dashboard and door panels also contribute to the cabin’s restful ambience, while leather upholstery and leather-trimmed armrests feature contrasting top stitching. Travelling comfort is further enhanced by personalisable LED cabin lighting, with a palette of hues ranging from green, to blue, yellow red or violet, depending on the mood of the driver and passengers. Last but not least, the new KOLEOS’ cabin is particularly bright thanks to a large, opening glass sun roof (0.80m2) that extends over the rear seats.

The Bose audio system tailor-engineered for the new KOLEOS includes 12 high-performance loudspeakers that delivers a rich, clear, balanced surround sound quality.

The new KOLEOS is built on the Alliance CMF-C/D architecture that is shared by several vehicles, including the Renault Espace, Talisman and Kadjar, and Nissan’s X-Trail/Rogue and Qashqai. The common architecture attests to the Alliance’s experience in saloon cars, crossovers and SUVs.

2017 Renault Koleos Engines:

Vehicle parts and components that are not visible to the customer are common, while the design and identity of each brand remain distinct. The resulting savings were reinvested in the new Koleos to offer enhanced customer features. The car’s powertrains have also been developed within the Alliance. Depending on the market, the new Koleos will be available with a choice of two petrol and two diesel engines with power outputs ranging from 130 to 175bhp, mated to either a six-speed manual gearbox or X-Tronic automatic transmission.

2017 Renault Koleos Price:

Renault won’t make a major change in the pricing of the new Koleos. Since this will be launched in different markets, our estimate is that an increase in price will be about 15 per cent of the 2017 Renault Koleos price as it is now a lot bigger than before. 2017 Renault Koleos UK will be a big market. 2017 Renault Koleos deliveries will start in early 2017.
