Renault Koleos 2026: Contemporary Design Meets Innovative Solutions
The all-new Koleos is a pivotal launch within Renault’s International Game Plan 2027. It belongs to the D-segment of midsize SUVs and reflects the brand’s new design language and its guiding philosophy: “voitures à vivre” – “cars for living.” The model offers a bold, premium driving experience while prioritizing safety for drivers, passengers, and other road users.
Interior Design: Elegance, Spaciousness, and Comfort
Measuring 4.78 meters long, 1.88 meters wide, and 1.68 meters tall, Koleos delivers the proportions of a high-end SUV. A generous 2.82-meter wheelbase ensures ample interior space, with boot capacity of up to 589 liters.
The cabin features three panoramic 12.3-inch openR screens stretching across the dashboard, premium materials, and high-comfort seats, all contributing to a luxurious onboard experience. The front seats are heated and ventilated, with the front passenger seat adjustable in 6 directions, controlled via the dedicated passenger display.
Koleos also includes tri-zone air conditioning, allowing independent temperature and airflow settings for the driver, front passenger, and rear passengers. A 6.2-liter storage compartment is integrated into the central armrest, with extensive connectivity options including three USB-C ports (one in front, two in the rear), a front USB-A port, a wireless charging pad, and two 12V sockets (front and in the boot).
Additionally, Koleos is equipped with Bose active noise cancellation – a segment-exclusive feature that enhances ride comfort by using inverse sound waves to neutralize engine noise.
A Next-Generation Multimedia Experience
The openR panorama screen offers an intuitive and engaging experience. The three-screen layout extends across the dashboard, with touch-sensitive driver and passenger displays that can be customized like a smartphone—uploading personal wallpapers or using widgets.
The passenger screen introduces several new features, including video streaming apps, offering an enriched and interactive digital experience.
Intelligent 4WD and Enhanced Performance
Koleos is equipped with an intelligent 4-wheel drive system that seamlessly adapts to changing road conditions without manual intervention. On smooth roads, it switches to 2WD for enhanced fuel efficiency. No matter the conditions, experience superior control. The intelligent torque distribution system adapts seamlessly to slippery, muddy, or sandy environments, providing optimal traction.
8-Speed Automatic Transmission and 29 New-Generation ADAS
The 8-speed automatic transmission adjusts to the driver’s style, improving over time for smoother performance. It is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine generating 235 hp and 350 Nm of torque, ensuring a dynamic and refined drive.
Koleos includes six drive modes, including Off-Road mode, and features 29 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), three of which enable Level 2 autonomous driving. The vehicle uses a 180° interface to display nearby traffic in real time.
Koleos is also fitted with next-generation Active Driver Assist, combining adaptive cruise control with lane centering technology. This system maintains the vehicle’s lane position using sensors and cameras, while an emergency lane-keeping function anticipates collisions and assists in avoidance maneuvers.
Hot-Formed Structure for Greater Safety
To ensure maximum safety, 18% of Koleos’ body structure uses hot forming technology, enhancing rigidity and crash protection. This also reduces vibrations and road noise for a smoother ride.
