AUTOMATIC RENAULT KOLEOS UNVEILED


    Renault South Africa has added a fourth model to its Koleos range of sports utility vehicles. The Koleos 2.0 dCi Dynamique Premium Automatic 4x4 combines the proven urge and frugal consumption of the marque’s dCi turbodiesel powertrain with the convenience of a latest-generation six-speed automatic gearbox.

    In addition, the newcomer features Renault’s advanced, intelligent all-wheel drive system with Trajectory Control. The system seamlessly splits torque between the front and rear axles, depending on traction requirements, allowing instant grip and dynamic, sure-footed handling on and off the road.

    The new six-speed automatic gearbox featuring swift, smooth gear shifts is coupled to a new version of the 2.0 dCi turbodiesel engine. The four-cylinder unit is fitted with common-rail direct diesel injection and a diesel particulate filter, and is Euro 5 compliant.

    The engine has a rated maximum power output of 110kW at 4 000rpm, while the torque peak of 320Nm is reached at 2 000rpm. As a result, performance is brisk, with the new Koleos reaching a top speed of 173 km/h.

    The dCi unit’s efficiency also ensures impressively frugal fuel consumption and low CO2 exhaust emissions. Combined-cycle consumption comes to 7.9 litres/100 km, with a CO2 emissions rating of 197 g/km. 

    The newcomer’s Dynamique Premium specification allows for a comprehensive array of standard equipment. The list includes cruise control, an Arkamys 3D sound system incorporating six loudspeakers and Bluetooth connectivity, an integrated Tomtom satellite navigation system, and a hands-free keycard. 

    Also standard is bi-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery, heated and electrically adjustable driver seat, and a full complement of active and passive safety features, which have earned the Koleos a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating.

    Standard under the Renault Confiance banner, all Koleos models are supported by a comprehensive after-sales customer support package that includes a five-year/150 000km warranty and a five-year/100 000km service plan. 

    Recommended retail pricing (inclusive of VAT) on the updated Koleos:
