La Renault Koleos luxury SUV of Losanga brand. It shares a technical base with its Nissan X-Trail cousin, but uses stylistic language typical of the French marque's latest cars. IS AN elegant and offers so much comfort, good equipment, excellent quality materials and interesting versatility when choosing 4 × 4 version... I tried it for you 2.0 dCi with 175 hp in a first class setting Initial Paris, in conjunction with the X-Tronic automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. Let's find out together its strengths and weaknesses.
city
With a length of 4,67 meters Renault Koleos this is certainly not the ideal car for the city. However, without adopting the 4Control, it offers discrete qualities of agility and handling, as well as the presence of parking sensors and Rear View Camera make life easier when maneuvering and in confined spaces. At low revs, the engine is not very quiet, and the continuously variable transmission is appreciated. X Tronic.
Outside the city
Leaving the city walls behind you, you appreciate more and more comfort The level of sound insulation offered in this car. Thrust 175 hp – correct, and the torque is also well distributed. The setting prioritizes comfort over sporty driving: it's quite soft and absorbs bumps in the pavement quite well (also providing good off-road performance). Just as good as Speed: It guarantees excellent ride quality, but is obviously less direct and "pleasant" than the EDC dual clutch that Renault uses on other vehicles. THE consumption the average values are about 13-14 km / l. Off-road, there is 4x4 traction with differential lock: no small feat.
шосе
On board the Koleos Initiale Paris, you travel first grade, upholstered in precious leather, heated and ventilated seats. The four of us are very comfortable, and the fifth passenger has to deal with the slightly uncomfortable center section of the rear seat. TO 130 km / h no aerodynamic rustling.
Life on board
As expected, the salon The Koleos Initiale Paris is well finished and very spacious. The equipment is quite rich, even if there is no Multisense available on many Renault models. On the other side, trunk: it is large (498 liters), but smaller than one would expect from a 4,67 meter long machine, and has a fairly high loading threshold; on the other hand, it makes perfect use of the available space and opens electrically on the Initiale Paris (very convenient). System infotainment system R-Link 2 it is intuitive and compatible with Apple CarPlay and AndroidAuto.
