New Koleos unwrapped in Buenos Aires

THE wraps came off the New Renault Koleos at the sixth International Buenos Aires Motor Show. It has been acclaimed for the travelling comfort it delivers, as well as its extensive equipment package and all-terrain ability, Renault’s SUV now also features the brand’s latest styling identity.

It is attractive and easy to recognise at first glance thanks to its new front end which, says Renault, embodies the brand’s new identity.

The redesigned two-tone wheels provide the latest evolution of the model with extra character, while the chrome finish of the side protective strips adds a touch of distinguished elegance.

A new, refined body colour – Ebony Brown – is now also available.

The cabin, too, benefits from a new trim, plus new brown leather upholstery to harmonise with the Ebony Brown exterior finish. Priced  from €28,500 the Koleos is equipped with the new in-dash Renault R-Link multimedia system complete with seven-inch touchscreen display. 

Renault R-Link permits the selection of one of 26 languages and packs all the expected multimedia functions, from navigation, radio and telephony to Bluetooth® connectivity and audio streaming, as well as connectivity for portable music-playing devices. It also proposes services associated with the vehicle’s own systems, plus access to the Renault R-Link Store which has a catalogue of more than 50 applications (depending on country) that can be downloaded directly to the vehicle or using a personal computer.

Another important new feature of the car is the Blind Spot Warning (BSW) function which provides a visual alert whenever a vehicle is detected in the blind spot in order to facilitate safe overtaking.

A reversing camera combined with rear parking sensors provides a real-time image of what is behind the car on the R-Link system’s display. A hands-free card, Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control functions, and Bose audio round off the extensive list of high-end equipment available for New Renault Koleos.
