CelebrityDrive, recently had the opportunity to get behind the wheel of the latest Renault Koleos 4x4, with our young aspirant “Springbok Lock” Celebrity, Migael Turner.
Our experience left us truly astounded by its remarkable pothole-handling prowess.. With this latest edition, Renault has undeniably raised the bar with this splendid SUV, an offering with harmonious blend of style, comfort, and performance to match and in some areas ,even stand out from a list of strong competitors in this AWD category of SUV offerings that one will find matching size and price to some or other extend. Beneath its surface, the Koleos conceals attributes that extend beyond what meets the eye. To pinpoint the perfect match for your needs, one must consider a comprehensive array of factors. These include not only the price but also the crucial components that shape your overall ownership experience—on-road costs, resale value, service plan, the reach and support of the dealer network, and the global reputation and strength of the brand itself. These elements collectively define the path to making an informed and judicious choice.
Exterior Design: The first thing that caught my eye was the striking exterior design of the Renault Koleos. It exudes an aura of elegance and modernity, featuring sharp lines, a bold front grille, and tastefully integrated LED headlights. The updated styling is a perfect balance of sophistication and ruggedness, making it to be distinctive Renault by design. The attractive alloy wheels and subtle chrome accents add a touch of premium appeal, solidifying the Koleos' intent to be noticed on all road surfaces in SA.
Interior Comfort and Quality: Getting inside the cabin, one is immediately greeted by a sense of refinement and subtle hints of luxury. The use of high-quality materials, plush leather seats, and soft-touch surfaces elevate the ambiance of the interior. The spacious cabin offers ample back legroom and the headroom is also allowing space for tall people like aspirant Springbok Locks, making it an ideal choice for both short commutes and longer journeys. Passengers in the rear are treated to an impressive level of comfort, further enhancing the overall riding experience; there are air vents as well as social integration connectivity plugs as well as enough space, a full 464L of “kit” space at the back. And having your hands full, no problem, just kick in the air underneath the back fender and you have a hands free entrance!
Technology and Features: The Renault Koleos comes loaded with an array of cutting-edge technologies and features that enhance both convenience and 5 star N-Cap safety. The infotainment system, with its large touchscreen display, is user-friendly and responsive, offering effortless integration with smartphones through Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Additionally, the 360-degree camera system and advanced driver-assistance features, such as adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist, make driving the Koleos a safe and stress-free experience together with the inviting ability to use it in conditions that is not so appealing for vehicles which only offers 2WD.
Performance and Efficiency: The 2,5L, 126Kw Output Koleos boasts a powerful yet efficient engine, providing ample performance for city driving and highway cruising alike. The smooth-shifting 7 speed CV-T transmission, is one of the better CVT boxes we have experienced yet and the well-tuned suspension contribute to a refined ride quality, soaking up some Potholes with ease. The steering is responsive and precise, instilling confidence whilst maintaining a light feel. Fuel efficiency, a reachable 8.9L/100Km (our drive experience) is commendable for an SUV of this size, ensuring longer journeys can be made without frequent stops at the costly gas stations. Practicality and Cargo Space: One of the standout features of the Renault Koleos is its practicality. The spacious cargo area easily accommodates large items, making it an excellent choice for family outings or weekend getaways. With the rear seats folded, the Koleos provides an impressively generous 464L cargo capacity, which can easily increase to much more with the back seats folded down!
Conclusion: In conclusion, the latest Renault Koleos is a delightful surprise in the highly competitive AWD SUV market. Renault has succeeded in creating a vehicle that does allow for further investigation with its stunning design but also delivers a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience.
