Renault Koleos

dCi 150 4x4 Auto - French maker Renault has launched a 4x4 alternative called the Koleos. With Renault’s alliance with Nissan, the underpinnings come from the Japanese maker, so when off-reading the new Koleos should prove to be a boon. Renault claims the Koleos is a take on what a Crossover should be like, it is the [...]

Renault Koleos 4X4 2011

5 star review

What a delightful car to drive. So easy to park and manouver. I had a Honda CRV 4x4 before, also a nice car but the Koleos exceeds the CRV in funcionality. Great mileage on the super highway about 35 mpg per imp. gallon at 114/120 kmh, the sixth gear really makes a difference. For city driving the economy is not so good. Two small critisims: The hooded screen on the dash is so hard to see. Mine has red letters and figures. In the strong Santiago sun it is almost impossible to see. Setting the clock and the bluetooth set up is mind boggling. Other than that the Koleos and I are going to be companions for a long time.

Renault Koleos 2008

1 star review

I bought my Koleos from Renault, Cardiff and I have had nothing but problems. I was not in formed of about issues the system has when we purchased this car; the vehicle filtration light keeps coming on because we do not drive to the salesman recommendations, we were not told about this by the head of sales. We have taken it back to them on four occasions, now they have stopped us using Renault, Cardiff so we are not satisfied.

Renault Koleos 2009

5 star review

I bought my koleos last November mine is a 2/4 I didn’t want to pay the extra for the 4/4 because as a London driver were do I find off road I will never regret buying it, the handling is superb I recently covered 3000 miles traveling with a co driver. What a superb experience worth every penny plus just found out it’s value has increased since purchase by £5000, unheard of, chuffed.

Renault Koleos Diesel Auto 2008

4 star review

Had a test drive of a new diesel auto today (in Adelaide, Australia - but it’s not on the list). A nice, functional car to drive. It reminded me of when I first drove the Landrover Freelander a few years ago (don’t panic, I’m sure it is far more reliable than those hunks of junk - I can say this, I owned one). The Koleos is a very adequate, pleasant to drive SUV which seemed to handle the around town driving and the open road quite well. However I’ll reserve any further judgement on handling until I drive the preferred Manual Diesel next week. Cabin space and seating room is exceptional, and that tail gate thingy is pretty cool. The wife is ready to trade our Disco II in for one right now.
