Koleos

RENAULT gave its three-year old Koleos compact SUV a major update in late 2011 to better equip it for success in the growing SUV market.

The Koleos was given a completely redesigned front end, ditching the split nostril grille of the original version for a sleeker chrome unit with new headlights.

Upgraded interior trims with a greater standard features list was also part of the upgrade in 2011.

Available in petrol and diesel guise, the Koleos had three specification levels including the entry-level Expression, mid-spec Dynamique and top-of-the-range Privilege.

The Expression was front-wheel drive only, while all other variants were available with two or all-wheel drive.
