It should be noted that the predecessor of the model on Russian market was sold for at least 1,300,000 rubles, many were sure that the price for a car of this level was too exaggerated. Price tag for new model starts from 1.7 million rubles, while this price does not surprise anyone, because the car has become larger, more powerful, and completely changed its the new kind with a new body. Please note that the body in the model is very similar to. If we compare both cars, then in a similar configuration, the prices for them are almost equal.

Decor

When decorating the interior in Koleos, premium materials were used, which differ high quality and durability.
To other features interior design in the car can be attributed:
- a 7-inch display is installed inside the car, which shows the speedometer and tachometer in real time. The French decided to leave the classic arrows only on the car's progress indicator and on the coolant temperature indicator;
- 8.7-inch display, serves to control the main systems of the car and has a touch view;

- for a surcharge, you can install the system in the car electronic assistants, among which I would like to mention an automatic traffic sign reader, a parking assistant, blind spot monitoring and other systems that will make driving safer and more comfortable.
In the new body, the car received a unique Amethyste Black color, pile floor mats inside the cabin, leather trim and 19-inch wheels with a unique design. I would like to say a few words about the Multi-Sense system, which is present in both trim levels. The manufacturer himself notes that the system is designed to adjust the comfort and safety in the cabin. vehicle. The system is operated using the built-in 8.7-inch display, it includes five preset modes that change the interior lighting, affect the operation of the engine, transmission and regulate steering depending on road conditions.

New SUV Renault Koleos is surprising from the first seconds of acquaintance. First, he, as if imitating the ostentatious Kaptur, became handsome. Many people remember the first Koleos models that were sold in Russia. I confess that it was simply impossible to approach this car without tears: a strange, angular suitcase on wheels terrified even people with the most utilitarian views. Rather, I wanted to dip it in mud, snow, bury it in sand or earth, just to hide the lack of design ideas and the desire to save money. I don't want to remember what was inside. But years have passed, and now Koleos has changed so that, in fact, only the nameplate remains of it.
Big but not bulky
Outside, Koleos is good, and is not going to hide it. Generously accentuated with chrome LED-headlights, unusual turn signals in the form of a boomerang, a neat radiator grille and a large logo - to match such an impressive SUV shape. With a length of 4.672 meters and a height of 1.673 m, it does not seem overweight at all, and the chrome line running along the front sides adds some elegance to the body. No savings on good taste, after all, it would be possible to live calmly without unnecessary embellishments, but no, it’s more spectacular.
Alina Raspopova/Gazeta.Ru
On the sides below the car is also decorated with chrome inserts, and when you open the door on the threshold, you can read the name of the model. Well, not to forget. The rear view, although quite simple, is not without interesting touches. The huge trunk door is decorated with tail lights of an unusual shape. It is so original that it is now easier to recognize Koleos at night.
Salon on the level
Now we climb into the salon, and again we are surprised. However, the fact that all the car control systems in Renault Koleos were driven into a tablet, we knew from the time Geneva Motor Show 2016, where they showed this new product.
Then it was hard to believe in such changes - it seemed that this was some kind of concept, or model for rich Europe, which would never appear in Russia.
Unlike European countries, where more budgetary Renault models are sold under a separate Dacia brand, we do not have such a division, and therefore Brand Renault is still associated with utility, practicality and the absence of design and technical surpluses. But with Koleos, things are not at all like that.
So, a huge tablet integrated into the dashboard. When you meet him, you fall into a stupor and start fumbling around in search of at least one button. There are those. For example, electronic parking or cruise control next to the gear lever. Under the tablet there are buttons for selecting the "ECO" mode, heated seats. There is also seat ventilation for comfortable trips in the summer and a parking assistant. Hmm, is it really a Renault? I look at the steering wheel, I see the volume switches painfully familiar in the form of petals under my right hand. Phew, this is without a doubt Renault. There are also two separate climate control relays for the driver and passenger under the screen.
The trunk is huge, the substrate — with a comfortable handle. Closes with a button and opens with a wave of the foot
RenaultTo turn on something else, please, poke your fingers on the screen.
Okay, I turn on the engine. And then, dear mother, everything lights up with a bright backlight, the tablet turns on, - your eyes run wide. To cool the interior, heated up to 34 degrees in the sun, you have to quickly deal with the device. The main menu items are "navigation", "multimedia", "phone", "applications", "auto" and "system". Intuitively I find the airflow icon at the very bottom of the screen - that's it! With my finger I stretch out a scale symbolizing the power of blowing to the desired one. Convenient and not buggy. I also press the seat ventilation - there are three power options and they all work delicately, but effectively. Now you can live.
It is worth spending some time right away to explore the possibilities that the tablet flaunts.
For example, in the "driving" tab there is an opportunity to see how economically you use fuel and even go through a simple mini-learning on how to reduce this consumption. All this in beautiful charts, indicating the number of kilometers that the car can go without refueling.
By the way, for a month of driving exclusively in the city average consumption fuel for petrol version with a 2.5-liter engine with 171 hp. amounted to 14.3 liters.
There are indicators of tire pressure sensors, convenient tabbed navigation and backtracking. Also on the side of the tablet are the volume buttons of the stereo system, which in the top versions is not much, not a little, but Bose.
In general, at first glance, everything seems complicated and incomprehensible, but if you had a tablet or at least a modern mobile phone, it's not hard to figure it out. In addition, in fact, it turns out that there are not so many possible functions there: only the most necessary ones are still not the Volvo XC90.
Alina Raspopova/Gazeta.Ru
Yes, what is important, there are almost no greasy fingerprints left - I confess, I was too lazy to wipe the whole month, but the monitor and glossy surface, which frames it, still looked decent.
Let's take a closer look at the interior. In the top version, the seats are upholstered in white perforated leather, in the tunnel between the driver and the passenger there are stylish handles, like brutal SUVs. There is a place for glasses, two USB connectors in the armrest, an SD card slot and, in fact, space in order to place gadgets there. I even got a tablet in there. The armrest can be moved and slightly raised for the convenience of the driver. The salon is not boring, there are beautiful wood-like plastic inserts. The plastic on the dashboard is soft and does not smell, even after warming up in the sun.
By the way, the color of the backlight in the cabin can be chosen to your taste. There is green, red, blue, yellow and purple - well, just like Infiniti.
If you have parking sensors (it’s better with them, the car is big), you can also choose the sound of “pickalok”. You can also change the design of the display on the instrument panel. Another useful thing worth noting is the ability of Koleos to determine the danger in blind spots: the signals installed in the rear-view mirrors will tell you when it is better to refrain from maneuvering.
Koleos in motion
I launch the navigator, select a city, look for my street - it starts with the letter U, so I have to dig. Navigation shows traffic jams and cameras - also unexpected. I plan my route and move on. The powerful 2.5-liter engine simply copes with the weight of the SUV - the car goes easily. It takes 9.8 seconds to accelerate to “hundreds”, which is generally good for a large all-wheel drive model. The CVT X-Tronic box does not “slow down”. On speed bumps you will notably shake - the suspension is quite stiff, but Koleos swallows holes much more willingly.
In general, driving this car is pleasant on the highway and not scary in traffic jams - in Koleos good overview, which helps to quickly grasp the dimensions.
Renault Koleos has a very beautiful key that you can simply store in your bag - the doors open and close automatically
Alina Raspopova/Gazeta.RuAmong the security systems there is a lane control function - it warns with signals that you are leaving your lane if the turn signal is not turned on. Lane tracking functions, as well as automatic braking and Koleos does not have intelligent cruise control. Since the test drive took place in the city with a small stop in the park, we will omit its off-road capabilities, but the ground clearance of 210 mm is worth mentioning.
Price and competitors
In the second most popular segment in Russia, SUV, for Renault Captur offer interesting prices, no matter how strange it may sound at first glance. Yes, while 2, 219 million rubles. for the "top" version for this brand it seems too much, and the starting equipment for 1, 749 million rubles. will be boring. At the same time, the model has plenty of competitors. And although prices can differ markedly, as, for example, with the Mazda CX-5 (1,431 million - 1,893 million rubles) or Skoda Kodiaq(1,999 million - 2,575 million rubles), I think that many motorists will choose an SUV based on a weighted average set of options and features that combine this at first glance different models. To get used to the idea that you can give so much money for Renault and the fact that it is really worth it, you will have to go to the salon for reconnaissance, and already there decide whether it is in your opinion or not. And there is no doubt that Renault will still have a lot of strength to grow its customers from Logan to Koleos.
The new Renault Koleos 2017 test passed like a handsome man whom you meet “by clothes”. The design is really good. I immediately want to walk around this crossover and sit inside. And we also travelled. Specifications Renault Koleos 2017 at the end of the article.
The new Renault Koleos 2017 is beautiful!
Design new Renault Koleos is fundamentally different from its predecessor and, in general, from other models of the brand in Russia. It does not cause controversy - it is definitely beautiful.
Renault headed to premium with the new Koleos.
Renault Koleos can be bought for the design. Rather, want to buy. Desire is likely to stumble over the price. In the minimum degree of equipment, Koleos is estimated at 1,749,000 rubles, and they offer to buy a tested car for 2,059,000 rubles. The most expensive modification is diesel for 2,219,000 rubles.
On the Russian market, Renault Koleos is available with three engines: a 2.0-liter gasoline engine with 144 horsepower and 200 Nm or a 2.5-liter, also gasoline, power unit of 171 hp. and 233 Nm, or two-liter turbodiesel at 177 forces and 380 Nm. Each of the engines is sharpened under environmental standards Euro 5. At the same time, all new Koleos for Russia are all-wheel drive and with stepless variator CVT. In general, the units are already known from other cars. Not surprising, because Koleos is based on the Nissan X-trail.
Renault-Koleos: Outside, the focus is on the optics.
Remotely, the Nissan X-trail resembles only the sidewall, especially in the area of the doors. Although there are intricate touches here: a decorative molding with a false grille on the sidewall in the manner of a Range Rover.
The new Renault Koleos 2017 is an original product, especially by Russian standards. In our country, the Renault brand is perceived not even by the middle class, but by the economy class. Not surprising, because most of the brand's sales are made by unpretentious Logan, Sandero and Duster.
The new Koleos is a machine of a different order. The French themselves even present it as a premium project. In the Russian Renault model range, the novelty looks especially interesting. Although in Europe in a similar style performed new Megane, Scenic and Latitude.
The length of the car is 4672 mm, height 1673, width 1843. Claimed ground clearance is an impressive 210 mm.
Against the background of the exterior, the interior is rustic.
Finishing materials are mediocre - they fall short of the premium feel. For example, the start-stop button seems to have migrated here from the past. Its plastic is not hard...
It's already boring.
The most premium part of the cabin is the seats. They are incredibly aesthetic. What is the cost of one headrest. Yes, they are comfortable to sit in. Unless tall drivers can blame the short pillow of the seat.
Panel architecture built around a central screen multimedia system, How on new Volvo XC90. But in Renault everything is made simpler.
The display is smaller than the Volvo XC90, the resolution is lower, the drawing of the menu is mediocre. Interface logic - separate story. Everything is collected here: setting the design of the instrument panel (it is also electronic), setting the color of the decorative interior lighting, on-board computer, parking and driving assistance systems, tire pressure data, trip economy statistics, a multimedia block with photo, video sub-items and more ... Phew ... Getting confused is easy, but changing something on the go is simply dangerous. Changing the volume of the music is another task. The multimedia block has touch buttons for this, which are not so easy to find.
The buttons on the steering wheel are responsible for controlling sub-configurations of the instrument panel. The volume control, and indeed the audio system in general, is duplicated only on the remote control attached under the steering wheel, and its implementation is in the Renault style: the buttons should not be pressed, but pushed away.
It is not clear how to force the air direction to change. On the day of the test, it was raining and I really wanted to warm my wet feet. Alas, it didn't work out.
Climate control is also not obvious. It would seem that there are four natural buttons and two knobs for this, but all they offer is to direct air to the glass, direct air to the glass with maximum power, arrange recirculation through the cabin or turn on auto mode. The knobs around the edges set the temperature. But how to forcefully change the direction of the air is not clear. On the day of the test, it was raining and I really wanted to warm my wet feet. Alas, it didn't work out.
You can find a comfortable driving position. But u for tall people it won't be perfect.
The seat drops, the backrest angle changes smoothly, but I would like more adjustment range in the longitudinal direction. There is not enough scope to move the steering column. She moves in both directions, but does so within a limited range. Slightly overshadows being behind the wheel visibility. The most obvious complaint is the wide front pillars, the mirrors are somewhat small, but when you roll into the car, you feel the dimensions for sure, although no, no, and someone will hide behind the counter.
All conveniences for bespectacled people.
On the second row there is enough space to comfortably sit behind yourself with a height of 195 cm.
A curious ergonomic solution is the ceiling lining raised above the heads of the rear riders. As a result, you don’t cling to the roof with your head, but the skin sticking out in front of your eyes does not add space. Although in general it is comfortable to ride on the back sofa of Koleos. There is even a heated rear sofa. True, for some reason its buttons are hidden at the end of the armrest.
Trunk in the minimum configuration of 538 liters.
Dynamics
2.5-liter petrol engine with 171 hp and 233 Nm does not differ in lethal dynamics, and the chassis is tuned for comfort.
The character of the new Koleos is unusual - melancholy. Although it would be more correct to disclose this definition.
The crossover rides calmly, slowly, relaxed. If you do not lean on the accelerator on smooth asphalt, an atmosphere of appeasement reigns in the cabin. Quiet, smooth, comfortable. On a broken surface, the sound from the suspension operation penetrates into the cabin, while the ride remains smooth, it is the acoustic accompaniment of the suspension that delivers discomfort, and the ride is still relaxing. Speed bumps simply dissolve into the chassis.
Renault-Koleos-2017 swallows bumps perfectly.
The whole image is destroyed if you go actively. Gas to the floor, engine speed to the sky, but the acceleration is minimal. But the sound - the vacuum cleaner choked on some object. Dynamic driving is clearly not about Koleos.
Correlating the moderate dynamics with the level of comfort, let's see what the portrait of the buyer of Koleos is.
The new Renault Koleos 2017 will be bought by a person already indifferent to dashing accelerations, but at the same time demanding comfort, and also wanting to drive rare car not like everyone else, without much loss in practicality. Yes, he still has to be a little in love with her in order not to notice the inflated price tag.
