The appearance of the former Renault Koleos was "amateur". Many found it ambiguous, which led to the fact that the manufacturer was forced to fundamentally change its appearance. The new car is already less reminiscent of the fact that it was made in China, which significantly increases the chances of selling in Europe. But, no matter how they are guided by the European market, the main share of sales falls on the Asian.
At the first acquaintance with the updated Renault Koleos, reviews of which are already on the network, it seems that the designers tried to push his image as far as possible from Renault Scenic and bring it closer to the Nissan Qashqai. This trend cannot but rejoice. This is especially pleasing to the domestic buyer, since it is we who often choose the car more in appearance than in practicality. Manufacturers improved the front optics, tweaked the bumper, which now looks more modern. Nice to drive Renault Koleos. Reviews on various sites on this subject are the same.
The interior of the car has not changed much. Some elements in the dashboard have changed, the shape of the seats has changed. As for the latter, driving a car has become much more comfortable. The new model differs from the previous one in that now there will be less noise from the engine in the cabin. Now it is difficult to determine whether or not Renault Koleos is wound up. Testimonials from drivers have repeatedly displayed this. The suspension did not need to be changed, so the engineers did not touch it. The only thing that could be done was to increase the suspension stiffness to improve handling at high speed.
The car accelerates to 100 km / h in 10 seconds. It may seem like a lot right away, but it's worth considering that this is a crossover, not a sedan. In this case, there is a certain impression that he is capable of more. It is the electronic bridle that is to blame. Nevertheless, the ride behind the wheel of this car leaves the most positive impression.
It is worth noting that the borrowed four-wheel drive from the Nissan X-Trail allows you to feel confident in off-road conditions. Four -wheel drive is especially useful in the winter season, when you need to get from one point to another without stopping. I must say that this is the right move on the part of manufacturers, which will increase the number of sales of Renault Koleos. Owner reviews indicate that they were right. The car has become more popular thanks to this solution.
