The new KOLEOS delivers all that is expected of a D-segment SUV. It has a powerful, muscular exterior lines, a peerless four-wheel drive technology, and a real all-terrain ability thanks to ground clearance of 213mm.

In addition to hallmarks Renault’s refined, comfortable interior with seats including technology and design amongst the very best in its category. A class-leading cabin space, including 289mm of rear knee room, and equipment shared with other high-end Renault models, like the R-LINK 2 multimedia tablet.

For Renault, the new KOLEOS comes at a time when SUVs are enjoying strong growth in many markets, and for many consumers, this will be their first opportunity to experience Renault in their segment of choice.
