Overview
The Renault Koleos is a C-segment SUV for buyers who want a five-seat Renault with a 2.5-litre petrol engine, CVT automatic and 2WD rather than a seven-seat family hauler. The second-facelift Mk2 range starts at RM 191,888 in Malaysia and runs across three trim levels, all using the same basic front-drive layout.
Koleos in 2026 — what's new
For 2026, the Renault Koleos carries on unchanged. The current Malaysian car is the second-facelift Mk2 introduced in 2021, when the update brought new LED head- and taillights. Seat ventilation and massage were also part of that facelift package. The range remains 2.5 2WD, 2.5 Signature 2WD and 2.5 Signature Plus 2WD, all with a 2.5-litre petrol/CVT drivetrain and five seats.

Which variant to buy
The 2.5 2WD costs RM 191,888, the 2.5 Signature 2WD is RM 212,888 and the 2.5 Signature Plus 2WD is RM 218,688. Most buyers should start with the 2.5 2WD because all three are five-seat, front-drive 2.5-litre petrol SUVs with CVT automatics. On paper, the RM 21,000 jump to Signature is paying for trim, not mechanicals. Signature Plus is another RM 5,800; pay it only if the showroom equipment list justifies it.

Verdict
The Koleos is a straightforward five-seat, front-drive petrol SUV with a CVT, not a seven-seat or all-wheel-drive choice. Its facelift kit centres on LED head- and taillights, plus seat ventilation and massage. The price is the hard part: Proton X70 and Jetour Dashing start at RM 106,800, Proton eMas 7 at RM 103,800, and the Koleos also starts above the Peugeot 5008 and Subaru Crosstrek.
