First introduced locally in 2008, the Renault Koleos is a mid-size SUV that performed well below par within the local market, failing to capture a significant market share within its segment. Fast forward to the introduction of the second-generation model locally as a replacement for the Kadjar and we see a value-filled proposition that has been far more well-received than its predecessor. Let us look at the top 6 Koleos articles on AutoTrader.
1.Renault Koleos 2.5 Dynamique AWD (2019) Review
“It would seem that the reason for our test on this model was due to Renault updating the CVT drivetrain. Knowing what I do about CVTs in general (and the less than great reception the last Renault one received), I was pleasantly surprised by the drive in this one.” Lawrence noted the improvement made to the CVT gearbox in the Koleos during his thorough road test.
2.New vs used Renault Koleos: what are the top 5 differences?
“Starting up front, the Koleos gets a new grille with new chrome inserts, chrome inset foglamps and a redesigned skid plate. The C-shaped lighting signature stays the same but is now available in a Pure Vision LED depending on the model variant. Koleos retains the chrome trim on the front fenders that extends down the side of the vehicle where you can now find new 18-inch wheels.” Lawrence details the differences between the recently updated Koleos and the model that it replaces.
3.Replacing the battery on a Renault Koleos
“Like all luxurious modern cars, the Koleos is equipped with a number of hi-tech features. While these features make modern high-end motoring a pleasurable experience, they do place greater demands on a battery. Thus we thought it would be appropriate to feature a battery replacement step-by-step guide on the Koleos.’ Stuart takes us through the process of replacing a battery on a Koleos, in the unlikely event that you suffer a premature failure.
4.Which Renault Koleos trim retains its value best?
“All 2019 model-year Renault Koleos models come with the 2,5-litre four-cylinder engine that has been a Koleos mainstay since the fist-generation. The first two models in the three-model range use a CVT gearbox to drive the front wheels. The top model, also with a CVT gearbox, offers all-wheel-drive on-demand, as well as a feature which can see the driver select front-wheel-drive only, or full-time all-wheel-drive with a 50-50 split between the front and rear axles” Stuart examines the Koleos range to determine which trim holds its value best.
5.Top 6 Renault Koleos Accessories
“While it is possible to acquire aftermarket accessories through a number of sources, we tend to recommend going with official factory-approved accessories. These won’t affect your car’s warranty when these items are installed by a Renault dealer.” Stuart found 6 accessories that you can fit to the Koleos that will improve its practicality and aesthetics.
6. The All-New Renault Koleos - For The Discerning Buyer
“Yes, we've seen the Koleos before and while sales figures were less than astronomical back then, Renault is hoping that the latest derivative will fill the gap left by the Kadjar, even if it's not a direct replacement." Chad examines the exact reason for the introduction of the Koleos to the local market while providing an initial driving impression.
