Renault has just showcased their 2014 edition of their SUV Koleos at the Buenos Aires motor show. The most visible addition is the new front end which embodies the brand’s new identity. The redesigned two-tone wheels provide the latest evolution of the model with extra character, while the chrome finish of the side protective strips adds a touch of distinguished elegance. A new refined body colour – Ebony Brown – is now also available. The cabin, too, benefits from a new trim, plus new brown leather upholstery to harmonise with the Ebony Brown exterior finish.
Although the company has declined to release any information about the engines, it has said that there will be high torque available from the new units and there will be optional 4WD drivetrains. But the French car maker has announced some very new and exciting features that will come in the new Koleos.
New Renault Koleos is equipped with the new in-dash Renault R-Link multimedia system complete with seven-inch touchscreen display. Another important new feature of the car is the Blind Spot Warning (BSW) function, which provides a visual alert whenever a vehicle is detected in the blind spot in order to facilitate safe overtaking. The car will also come with a card for hands-free starting and entry, as well as an electronic parking brake, automatic headlight and windscreen wiper activation and cruise control with speed limiter. Meanwhile, the Hill Start Assist function is automatically triggered to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards when starting on a gradient of more than 10 percent.
Price and further specs will be revealed soon and the car will most likely make its way to India at the end of the year with a diesel mill, and maybe also the 4WD setup.
