Renault confirms new Koleos
Renault is set to present the new Koleos at the Geneva Motor Show in March.

The vehicle is the French marquees first ever cross-over 4X4 – with the company claiming it is comfortable and easy to drive as well as boasting genuine off-road ability.

The Koleos has also been designed to be versatile, offering the same reassuring drive when motoring in and about town, on open roads and on motorways as it does when it is taken off the beaten track.

Meanwhile, it also delivers the same standard of comfort as that expected of a hatchback, as well as cabin space worthy of a compact MPV, according to Renault.

Renault Koleos will be available with two types of engines in the UK.

The latest-generation 2.0 dCi Euro 4 diesel engine (M9R) is available in a choice of two power outputs, 150hp or 175hp. This engine has already been seen on Renault's Mégane, Laguna and Espace as well as Nissan's Qashqai and new X-Trail.

The seating and suspension also provide a high standard of comfort and the driver benefits from outstanding forward visibility thanks to the low-mounted dashboard, while Koleos' split-opening tailgate allows for simple loading.
