Renault has taken the veils off the updated Koleos SUV, featuring enhanced looks, new engines and a range of tech upgrades. This time, the automaker introduced two new diesel engines that offer more performance and lower emissions than the unit they replaced.
First is the 1.8 litre Blue dCi 150 engine, making 150 PS and 340 Nm of torque, whereas the larger 2.0 litre Blue dCi 190 produces 190 PS and 380 Nm of torque. Peak torque arrives at 1,750 rpm for both, with power routed to the wheels via an X-Tronic Continuously Variable Transmission. Models with the 1.8 litre unit is front-wheel drive, while the larger engine comes with Renault’s intelligent All Mode 4×4-i.
For styling, the brand’s Pure Vision LED headlamps are now standard across the range. There’s a more prominent grille up front with new chrome trimmings, as well as larger skid plates and revised lower apron.
The rear also features a larger skid plate, replete with additional chrome trims and longer third brake light. The three-dimensional Edge Light tail lamps are unchanged. Other new additions include the new two-tone alloy wheels and Vintage Red metallic paint.
Inside, while things look largely unchanged, there are new soft touch materials and satin inlays to elevate the premium feel. The rear seats now feature a two-stage reclining seat back as standard. In the centre dash rests an updated 8.7-inch R-Link 2 touchscreen infotainment screen that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionalities. There’s a smaller seven-inch unit that also features Apple CarPlay.
On the safety side of things, the Koleos now gets pedestrian detection function for the Active Emergency Braking System (AEBS). The existing range of safety features continue to be available as well, and that includes adaptive cruise control. Renault has sold over 100,000 units of the Koleos globally in 2018.

The already beautiful game changing European SUV got a facelift which makes it even more beautiful to look. Not only they improve the design, they also swap the engine with the better one. Technology used is very advanced as well as fitted with complete safety featutes. Bring it here and X70 will be in danger
You said the same for every new SUV launched. Can’t you get more creative or you are really living your moniker of Raja Jamban?
Why are you so stupid? Stop feeding the trolls
I hardly see one in Malaysia. This car is rarer than a Ferrari on Mesian roads.
Diesel engine sounds like a good option for this big SUV
I am the owner of this beautiful car for the past 3 years which gaves comfortable long ride with good fuel consumption and luxury touch exceeding any carmaker within the prices segment. But the aftersales by TC Euro is bad and shoddy. Sent my car for brake system problem in end-april 2019 and till today it have not been repaired due awaiting spare parts and long winded paperworks. Their personnel incompetent and do not shows any professionalism in handling their customers. I have seen other Renault users venting their angers to the service advisors due to frustration they faced. Its a shamed actually as the car is fantastic but hampered by useless TC Euro.
