New Renault KOLEOS Initiale Paris 2019 Review Interior Exterior

New Renault KOLEOS Initiale Paris 2019 Review Interior Exterior.

The new Renault Koleos SUV has made its European bow at the Paris Motor Show, appearing in top-grade Initiale Paris trim.

The Koleos is the biggest of Renault’s three SUVs, sitting above the small Captur and mid-size Kadjar. Renault claims is has class-leading space for rear passengers - that class includes the Skoda Kodiaq, Kia Sorento, and Ford Edge.

Program director Philippe Brunet said: “With the Initiale Paris signature, the new Koleos establishes itself as one of Renault’s highest-end models. If offers the ultimate in Renault in-car comfort and services, while maintaining the new Koleos’ intrinsic qualities of robustness and practicality.”

The standard equipment list includes Nappa leather upholstery; multi-way adjustable, heated, and ventilated front seats; laminated side windows; every driver aid Renault has, and R-Link 2 infotainment system with an 8.7-inch portrait touchscreen. And a Bose stereo, LED headlights, 19-inch wheels, and lots and lots of model-specific detailing. Lesser models in the range obviously won’t be as comprehensively stocked, but Renault is reasonably generous these days.

The Koleos and other Initiale Paris models in the Renault range are sold through dedicated outlets, and owners have access to a concierge service.

Under the skin, the Koleos is essentially the same as the Nissan X-Trail. Renault has not yet revealed what engines will be available, but the choice will likely be almost exclusively diesel. Four-wheel-drive will be available, and there will likely be a choice of manual or automatic gearbox.

According to Renault, the Koleos “boasts a powerful stance that sets it apart from its rivals”. The styling draws on themes seen on the Kadjar, the latest Megane hatchback and the Talisman sedan. It’s certainly classy, if perhaps a little indistinct.

The Koleos was first unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show earlier this year, underlining the importance of the Chinese market to the model’s success. However, it will also be available in 79 other markets around the the world. Sales are due to start by the middle of 2017.

The Koleos Initiale Paris receives exclusive two-tone Nappa leather upholstery with heated and ventilated front seats, an opening panoramic sunroof, powered automatic tailgate, full LED ‘Pure Vision’ headlights ambient lighting, heated and cooling front cup holders. Automatic Dual-Zone climate control, a Handsfree Keycard and automatic lights and wipers are also standard. The portrait 8.7-inch touchscreen R-LINK2 multimedia system includes satellite navigation with TomTom® LIVE traffic updates, Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay™ smartphone replications, Western European mapping, Bluetooth audio streaming and Handsfree connectivity.

Renault’s advanced driver assistance systems, such as Advanced Emergency Braking System (AEBS), Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Traffic Sign Recognition with Over-speed Prevention and Hill Start Assist have been applied across the Koleos line-up including the Initiale Paris version.

A rear parking camera with front and rear parking sensors is also included on all versions as well as an electrochrome rear mirror.

Standard safety features include ABS with Electronic Brake-force Distribution, ESC (Electronic Stability Control) with traction and understeer control, cruise control, speed limiter, Hill Start Assist, six airbags, seat belts with load limiters and pretensioners at the front, side impact protection bars and ISOFIX child-seat mounting points on the two outer rear seats.

The spacious interior has not been detrimental to boot space – 458-litres (VDA) with all seats in place and 1,690-litres (VDA) with rear seats down. Achieving maximum boot capacity couldn’t be easier thanks to the All-New Koleos’ One-Touch easy folding rear seats whereby they can be folded (individually or all at once) via a button in the boot. Koleos INITIALE Paris also receives a Powered Automatic Tailgate that can open or close the rear boot by a press on the keycard or, conveniently if carrying luggage, by waving a foot under the rear bumper.

The All-New Koleos is manufactured at the Busan plant in South Korea alongside Renault-Samsung Motors models.

The dCi 175, a 2-litre/175hp engine, receives the seven-speed Auto X-Tronic transmission in four-wheel drive in the Initiale Paris version. It is the most powerful diesel engine in the Renault range with 380Nm of torque at 2,000 rpm. The Auto X-Tronic transmission provides fuel economy of up to 47.9mpg (NEDC Combined Cycle). The Auto X-Tronic has CO2 emissions of 156g/km.

The four-wheel-drive versions of the All-New Renault Koleos come equipped with the new ALL MODE 4x4-i technology. This enables a driving mode to be selected – AUTO, LOCK or 2WD – and keep complete control of the powertrain on any terrain.
