The Renault Koleos was scheduled for an October launch, however Renault has preponed the launch to September. The French automaker will be offering us the latest generation of the Koleos, which will rival the Honda CR-V and upcoming Chevrolet Captiva. The Koleos is nothing but the Nissan X-Trail underneath (uses the same platform) and will be powered by a 2.0-liter CRDi motor producing 150 BHP of power at 4000 RPM and 320 Nm at 2000 RPM. Renault doesn’t plan to shake the segment with the Koleos and is using a top down strategy in India. The Koleos will be priced at around Rs. 20 lakhs, making it good value for those who want a diesel softroader.
The Renault Koleos has terrific ride quality, something which will go very well on our potholed filled roads. The handling is just about average though but most users won’t complain about it. The Koleos will seat 5 in utmost comfort, while at the same have plenty of space for luggage, making it the perfect getaway car. With improvements to its dealership network and aggressive marketing, Renault will be able to make a decent customer base for the Koleos SUV.
