2016 Renault Koleos pricing and specifications

Full Australian pricing and details for the all-new 2016 Renault Koleos have now been released, following the initial details handed down earlier this month.


As promised, the new Koleos will kick off from $29,990 plus on-road costs for the entry-level Life 4x2 model.

Further into the range will be the mid-spec Zen, available in $33,990 4x2 and $36,490 4x4 forms, while on the top shelf will sit the Intens 4x4 from $43,490 - all plus on-road costs.

Revealed to the world in April, the new Koleos is built on the same CMF C/D platform that underpins the Nissan X-Trail, crafted as a joint development between the French and Japanese car makers.

The new Koleos's 4670mm length makes it 150mm longer than its predecessor, bringing closer to large SUVs like the 4700mm Hyundai Santa Fe.

Despite talk of a seven-seat layout being on the cards, the new-generation Koleos is still a five-seater - a shortcoming-of-sorts that could see Renault Australia finally lock in a local launch for the new high-riding three-row Espace that debuted last year.

In the meantime, the Koleos will at least promise welcoming accommodation in the rear row, with 289mm of knee room on offer. Rear cargo capacity is also generous at 624 litres with the back seats up. Seats-down capacity is still to be confirmed, although Renault does at least list an additional 35 litres of additional stowage throughout the cabin.

Across the range, power will be provided by the same 2.5-litre petrol four-cylinder engine offered with the X-Trail, producing 126kW at 6000rpm and 226Nm of torque at 4400rpm. A "re-engineered" CVT automatic transmission sends power to the wheels.

Fuel consumption is listed at 8.1 litres per 100km on the combined cycle, with CO2 emissions at 188g/km (8.3L/100km, 192g/km for 4x4 model).

Towing capacity is listed at 2000kg braked. An unbraked figure, along with acceleration numbers for the new Koleos, are yet to be offered.

For its international unveiling, Renault listed a good 213mm of ground clearance, and approach and departure angles of 19- and 26-degrees respectively.

“The all-new Koleos is an extremely important model for us,” said Renault Australia managing director, Justin Hocevar. “The new model is vastly different from anything we have offered in Australia.

“We are the first market to sell the all-new Koleos and performed local pre-series testing. Coupled with the vehicle’s outstanding specification levels and value for money, this demonstrates not only how important the Koleos is for Australia but also Renault’s global commitment to this market and our region.”

Watch for CarAdvice's review of the new Koleos to come with its Australian launch late next month.
