Renault Koleos comes with latest generation 2.0 dCi diesel engine with an automatic six-speed transmission. The turbo kicks in at around 1700rpm. Max power output is rated at 150PS at 4000rpm while there’s a hefty 320Nm of maximum torque available at 2000rpm. It’s a strong engine and well suited for both the city and highway driving, and one clear advantage is that it powers a SUV that weighs just 1.7 tonnes which is around 100kgs lighter than its closest competition, the Santa Fe.
Renault has provided the Koleos with a primary 2WD drivetrain with the clutch transferring power to the front and not rear wheels. You can manually select between a 2WD or 4WD or automatic mode by flipping a switch on the centre stack. In auto mode, the Koleos senses wheel slip and without human intervention shifts into 4WD to counter it.
Feature wise you get the best sound system there is in the segment, courtesy an eight-speaker Bose system with rich and clear tones, climate control, Bluetooth cell phone connectivity, parking sensors etc. On the safety front the Koleos comes with a 5-star NCAP rating which is higher than the Santa Fe, is equipped with ABS, Brake Assist and EBD. The price of Koleos is Rs 2,299,000 (ex-showroom Delhi).
