Second generation Renault Koleos presented with a cheaper price
When Renault launched Koleos in 2011, it was not as familiar as we see it today. After the phenomenal success of Renault Duster, the brand not only became a household name, but also became stiff competition for other brands such as Nissan, Chevrolet and Honda. And now, with a major makeover of its Indian flagship, the French company has once again unveiled its spectacular 2014 model, Koleos.
The new Koleos comes with unmatched design and bold features that are sure to turn heads. Every inch of the car has been designed to be incredibly comfortable, rugged, stylish, instinctively safe, and astonishingly stylish.
Appearance and essence
Unlike the previous rugged SUV look, the new version looks smoother, but carries the design language of the model it replaced. The robust machine has been enriched with a wider grille from headlight to headlight, a larger Renault badge, alloy wheels and chrome side guards that not only enhance its appearance, but also increase its level of comfort.
However, there are no major improvements to the interiors; the dash design does justice to SUV standards. But something that will definitely make you fall in love with the interiors of this car is the premium touch Bose music system, rain-sensing windshield wipers, six-way power adjustable driver’s seat, tilt and telescopic steering column, and headlights. with darkness sensor. The four-seater vehicle guarantees a large amount of luggage compartment space and also enough space to effortlessly transport large items.
Performance and scalability
Koleos comes with a 173 hp 2.0-liter engine that offers 23 hp more power along with a maximum torque of 360 Nm from 2000 rpm. The full-size SUV is a comfortable highway cruiser that swallows every bump it hits. It has good grip, can be controlled well, and thus strikes an amazing balance between ride and handling.
Differential lock, loss-of-traction automatic 4WD and its ability to shift from 2WD to 4WD make it an optimal choice over other SUVs. The departure angles, approach, and ground clearance also help it remarkably perform off-road. On the darker side, it suffers from terrible turbo lag below 2000 rpm. The six-speed automatic transmission does not downshift quickly and therefore makes overtaking difficult.
Although the cheaper price and three new variants in Koleos has already begun to spread its charm; But Audi, BMW and Toyota have already made competition difficult for Renault. So, are you ready for a test drive?
