Renault fully unveils updated Koleos crossover

13 years, 5 months ago - 30 June 2011

This is not a Porsche Cayenne, but something told us you already knew that. What you're looking at is the new Renault Koleos. But the French softroader is available in Cayenne Orange, as pictured above. Hmm.

Renault has now fully unveiled the new Koleos, also known as the Samsung QM5. So what's new about it? Well, aside from the new color, it's got a refreshed front end, sideview mirrors with integrated LED indicators and an updated interior with such optional amenities as TomTom sat-nav and Bose sound systems.

Otherwise, it's essentially the same crossover introduced just a few years ago, engineered by Nissan (Renault's corporate cousin which holds far more crossover expertise than its French ally) and built in South Korea. It'll be available to customers around the world with two diesels (in 150 and 175 horsepower status of tune) or a 170-hp gasoline engine, all re-tuned for lower emissions, driving either the front wheels or all four.
