Stylish, Smooth Driving, Safe though a bit slow to gas up. - Koleos 2,5 Petrol
It's an amazingly stylish car from the outside and from within it is very complete for what you pay for.
They driving in Colombian highways (very sharp curves and more curves) it's by far one of the best SUV I have ever driven. Though a small engine. Totally worth it!

Our dearly departed Koleos
We bought the Koleos from a close friend who had to leave the country asap. My friend decided to pass it on to me as I was her passenger a few times and couldn't stop gushing about how pretty and chic the car was. We had the 1st version of 2008 and drove it until last month, when our car got CRASHED into the 3rd time. It was very painful, as this time around, the damaged was too expensive to repair and our insurance decided to write it off.
PROS
BEAUTIFUL RIDE, EXTERIOR, INTERIOR
COMFORTABLE SEATS AND LOTSA OF LEG SPACE

FRONT, BACK AND T-BONED AT THE DRIVER's SIDE, NOBODY WAS EVER INJURED. REINFORCED STEEL SAVED ME FROM MY LAST ACCIDENT, If i was in some tiny Asian car, apparently I would have been dead!!!! CONS Expensive to repair, Hard to get parts.

excellent offroad capability for a suv
My partner and i recently stayed at cradle mountain tasmania where the snow fall was very heavy roads were closed certain days and snow ploughs didnt bother scraping roads as snow fall quickly recovered the bitumen again. How ever we spent a week there as planned and we hired a renault koleos 4x4 from budget which has what i assume a centre locker which locks both front and rear axles. I was sceptical about using a suv style vehicle in snow but wanted to try it to compare to my uncomfortable but capable 4x4 mitsubishi triton. To my suprise the ...Read more
4 wheel drive system on the koleos worked an absolute treat with the push of the lock button on centre console. I purposely drove the car strait into snow that reached up to the axles and this car ploughed thru no problems at all. The 4x4 mode automatically disengages at 40kmh and reverts back to a on demand 4x4 type setup like the rav4. Or you can turn that off too and just run it as a front wheel drive. I didnt use chains in snow either and had standard tyres. On the road i found the petrol motor quite lively and it drove well no probs. Has good ground clearance and not too much over hang front and rear bumpers for steep entry and departure of hills. If looking for a suv with excellent 4x4 capability as opposed to real hardcore 4x4 units id recommend this vehicle.model wise i cant remember what it was but was well specced had all mod cons plenty of room very practical vehicle.Similar opinion?

2013 Diesel 2.0T Bose 2wd
Background: Bought this used car from dealer. Owing this car for about 4 month.
Reason why got this car:
When I was looking into the SUV market, there are some other brands with mid range models that I was interested: VW Tiguan, Mazda CX-5 and Subaru Forester. But they gives me impression that they are overrated and overpriced with less features on the car.
1. Tiguan has the DSG transmission problem.
2. Mazda CX-5 is overpriced. I guess that is because the numbers of reward that they have got gives them enough confidence to not drop ...Read more

A good SUV is a dependable no fuss SUV
75,000k and 2.5 years later (yep), and the Keleos is fine. We take ours to the snow a lot and have only one car - so ours is a bit of an accelerated test case. Straight to the point. Diesel does gel up in cold temperatures (use additive) - and when you hit wombats with the right side of the bumper car, it will crack the washer bottle.
It's dog proof, ski proof, kid proof, has nice little tables in the back of the seats, sun blinds and the controls back-the-front like you would expect a french car to be. Open the bonnet and take the pl...Read more
astic covers off things and everything is Nissan (the guts of the car is a Nissan x-trail). The car gets assembled in Korea where they screw things together ok (by Sumsung). The servicing has been good (tho I had to remind their friendly mechanics that the diesel is a 6 speed auto, not a cvt). On the road it is a comfortable ride (no sports car). The 4wd, esp and abs all work just fine (and everything flashes like a christmas tree if you hit ice or brake hard on dirt), Hill descent control, decent clearance, acceptable gear box ratios and full sized spare make it viable for light off-road and dirt tracks. Enough boot space (smaller than an xtrail), nav unit, leather seats, climate control (with vents in the back), bluetooth, more 12v sockets than you can poke a stick at, auto lights and wipers and probably the best stereo I have had in a car. I'm actually hoping that by the time the lease is up, the new one is out - I'll just roll back in to the same dealer and say "next one please"!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Japanese quality, French flair!
I bought a used Privilege 4X4 around15 months ago, which was about a year old at the time with 20,000km on the clock. Its certainly a great buy second hand, but I wouldn't buy new because of the steep depreciation. Great car, heaps of room in the back, all sorts of clever things in the cabin, lots of storage spots, and the fancy stuff that goes with the top of the range model. Love the split tailgate. Problem free thus far, capped servicing costs and only annual services is great, plus it comes with a 5 year warranty (4 years for me because it...Read more
was used) is generous compared to the other Euros. Drives fine around town, its no sports car obviously, and the CVT can take a while to wind up when taking off so its not the fastest car at the lights. Comes into its own out on the open road, very quiet and the CVT keeps the revs low, its a very relaxing car to drive. Although it is sluggish on those (rare) really steep hills even using the manual option. My only gripe with car is the fiddly audio. All up though I am very happy with it, and I'm just surprised there aren't more on the road. So - an update after 5 years of ownership and another 40,000 kms. Car works fine with a few little issues that I guess happens over time. Rear tailgate mechanism failed - it just wouldn't shut properly - but this was fixed under warranty (with one month to go!). Sun visor on drivers side has gone all floppy so will need to be replaced sometime. And the battery was just replaced. That's all that has gone wrong so I think that is pretty good.1 comment

Good, Could Be Better
HI,
I upgraded from a Honda Accord 2010 12 months ago, to a new Bose 2X4, due to chronic back problems and the difficulty of alighting from a lowish vehicle, I am 189cm tall. There is ample room whilst driving, but there is less rear leg room than the Accord, and perhaps a little less luggage room, however the rear seats are able to be laid flat and the is almost enough room for me to lie down when the front seat is in the most forward position.
Fuel use is about the same as the Accord at around 9L / 100klm, which is mostly ~10klm drives ...Read more
there and back, plus one trip to Melbourne and return every 3-4 weeks, and on these trips the fuel use is ~5-6L / 100klm. The Koleos is very easy to drive, has a good amount of visibility and is quite comfortable. The only problem I have had is with the R-Link which controls the Radio, CD player, SatNav, USB Input and Blutooth. From about the end of the 3rd month of ownership I had problems, it would either not work at all, or one of the parts, be it radio, Blutooth, CD player would be the only thing that worked, I had the car in 4-5 times for attempted repair, which would last for anything from a few days to a few months. On one trip of 400+klm for most of the journey it was trying to upload the 'right map', and so nothing else would work in that system. This was a week post servicing and the 'fault' was supposed to have been fixed.1 comment
Hi,
After the replacement of the 'R-Link' I have had no further problems for 15 months, remains a very good vehicle, and since having it I have only done ~15000 klm, again mostly 15-20 klm trips wit... Read more

This car has amazing carrying space
I agree with the other reviewers about how great this car is. I have the petrol model 2010 Renault Koleos H45 Privilege 4X4 with leather seats and bose speakers etc. What I especially love is how my Kayak (the Tequila that splits in two parts) fits easily into the back. I pull the two levers, situated at the rear window, and both back seats fold down - voila. When I moved to my new house the most amazing amount of newly purchased furniture fitted in and saved me the delivery hassle.

Love my car!
This car has ALL the bells and whistles! No other SUV near the price had anywhere near the gadgets and modern technology and safety features that the Koleos has.
I have the Priviledge 4x4 with the beautiful cream leather interior and brown dash. The panoramic sunroof is amazing and also opens, with mesh covers to pull over if it is really bright and I leave it open with the cover pulled so my seats aren't hot when I've finished work. I love my music and the Bose stereo system is Excellent! It looks awesome too, I have Champagne. Its too early ...Read more

I Love It
I haven't enjoyed a car like this since I was 18 with a mini gts. It is simply great. Lots of space . plenty of gadgets and sensational sound system. The engine is quiet but nifty . Absolutely recommend. The smoothest ride and tall enough to see well ( I am short) . The boot has enough space to fit anything.

Brilliant car
Very roomy inside, driving position feels almost like driving a bus with so much room around. Car has plenty of power, CVT is mooth, engine does not rev at all when driven normally. Suspension is firm but not hard. Rear door is split with very practical lay down tailgate. Car has various gadgets inside like USB etc. Interior soft plastics are ok but the hard plastics scratch easy.
We compared cars like Hyundai, Kia, Mitsubishi, Nissan etc at around 30K mark but none came near the Koleos in practicality and quality. Can't speak for five years d...Read more

o remain that way for at least another 10 years like my previous car Toyota did. There are some things I don't like about the Koleos. While it is all modern on the inside with gadgets like Blutooth, USB etc, the under undercarriage feel like something out of 70's. It is very noisy over rough surface, I can hear the brake pads running on the disks when breaking. I've never had a car where the undercarriage was so intrusive. The budget Kumho tires don't help the situation either. Also the engine isn't perfectly smooth. When standing with the transmission engaged there is usually a vibration letting me know the engine is running. On a cold day the engine sounds noisy like a diesel before it warms up fully which can take 20 minutes. On the inside I find the heater/aircon annoying. Turn it on and one has to always fiddle with it to get the right setting and the fan control is very slow to respond. Wouldn't be a problem if I didn't have to fiddle with it while driving. Steering is something to get used to, it is rather vague so one needs to pay extra attention to stay straight on the road.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

An Excellent City/on-road SUV
I have a 2013 build Bose Phase 3 2WD petrol for two months now. I love it. The family loves it. It feels larger than it is. One sits high with a good view. It rides pleasantly soft. It is comfortable. Economy is a bit short because it has a larger engine and is a bit heavier than most of its competitors. That translates into a subtly better ride. .The only negative is the R-link TomTom integrated Satnav support. It reads like magic but Renault is months behind promises to get R-link support functional. The satnav unit works OK and TomTom r...Read more
outing leaves Garmin in the dust, but it is not properly supported with internet updates and subscriptions yet. (Renault changed the product and support program for the integrated TomTom last year.) To be fair the integrated Garmin systems have their own problems such as incompetent routing. Fit and finish are high quality. The interior design includes a joy stick console for many functions, but also more traditional switches as well as a touch sensitive integrated TomTom that includes radio/media functions. The auto A/C works unobtrusively and has dual zones. The Bose trim includes blind side warning that works well, and we have the backup camera that has quickly become all but a necessity. The keyless locking system and push button start is very well done but takes some getting used to. It is much more advanced than the 2012 Phase 2 implementation. The dealer has been very good in my short history with them - limited to the sale and a 1-month checkup where they did a campaign update and updated the TomTom firmware. Their service department is more like an independent garage than a dealer, having personable and personal service staff who are enthusiastic and aim to satisfy. I'll hold my breath for parts problems and other issues that have been reported, but in the early days it is a fine experience. If you are in the market for an on-road SUV, the Koleos is Renault design, Nissan X-trail underpinnings, engineered in Japan, and built in Korea. The only give-away to the Korean build is Korean leather. Everything else is properly Euro, even to the left side turn signal stalk. It also has a 5 year warranty and 1-year/15K service intervals with 3-year capped prices. Bose sound, comfort, ride, features, dealer, non-Japanese styling, Nissan underpinnings Limited rear seat legroom, Renault R-Link TomTom support remains a work-in-progress1 comment
The Renault R-Link store seems to be live, finally.

It has the best car price vs quality ratio
Before I bought this car, I did a really massive research on SUV, I got a really good bargain for this car, it's a 2013 bose version demo with only 15kms mileage and I got it for $6k reduction, make sure you bargain when you buy it. Dealer is very important, make sure you compare before you buy it, the quantity of car never runs out, dealers always like to use phases like "if you are buying it today, I will give you a good bargain", just turn away when you hear this. This is not suppose the way it works~!!!!!!

dies two months after the battery warranty, I called national Renault, no one told me that it's expired already and said that it will be replaced if required, they sent someone to check it and said that there were no issues at all. One day later, I could not start the car, so I called Renault Service at Peter Warren, got the car for check up after one week, then turns out the battery is dead so they needed to replace it. Then they want to charge it for three hundred something (of cuz it's higher than market price). Now my time is wasted and I need to pay substantially more since I don't have a choice, my car can't even be started.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Almost the best car I have had
I purchased the diesel Koleos in late 2012. I have now done 75,000 klm without any problems, save a couple of punctures that needed complete tyre replacements. The Continentals apparently are hard to repair - One went back 5 times before I gave up and I now run Pirelli P7s on it.
Because I now average 5000 klms a month, the fuel efficiency is critical and with 75% on highways, I am averaging 6.8l/100klm - not too shabby.
Driving position is good and after 3 hours in the car, I don't have the usual stiffness. Sitting up high and with light st...Read more

Follow-up Review
It's been more than a year of owning a 2012 Bose SE Diesel and I'm still very happy with it. Last month my Koleos was involved in an accident with damages to the front panels and headlights. The repair workshop could get all the parts from Renault within 4 days and my car was repaired like new within a week.
I disagree with some other reviewers in regards to Korean vs Japanese quality. I previously owned a Mazda 3 which was built in Japan and the finished quality of my current Koleos is similar or slightly better in all aspects. During the ...Read more
time my Koleos was in the workshop, the insurance company provided me a rental car, latest model RAV4 which has done just 8000km. The build quality of RAV4 is very average and with poorer finished quality than the Koloes. Bits were falling apart if I was not careful when lowering the back seats to increase cargo area. The driving position of RAV4 is not impressive either and engine was screaming for most of the time, not as smooth as the Koleos even though Koleos' engine is diesel. Also, my 1st service after 12 months at Renault dealer was capped at $199 and it'll capped for the next 4 years. There's also road side assistance and manufacturer's warranty for another 4 years. Previous review: I bought the Diesel Bose edition in October 2012, very nice interior and comfortable driving experience. The finish quality is excellent and practical, very good value for what I paid. Fuel economy is about 8.5L/100km city driving. In the past, Koleos diesel owners complained about the particulate filter warning light for short distance driving. I've been driving short distances in city for 6 months and no such issue, Renault seems to have fixed this problem. Fast part delivery from Renault nothing that I should complain about, still a bargain and a pleasure to drive after 1 year+Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Early days, but lovin' it!
New 2013 Koleos Expression 4x2 petrol CVT. Had it 10 just days. Compared many including Honda's CRV -initial first choice and CX-5, but simply couldn't pass up the overall value in the Koleos and from Renault. Moving from a Japanese assembled Mazda to the Korean built Koleos. Although like anyone I have brand experience preferences, I'm not closed to change and car's aren't an emotional buy for me. It's just a car!
Owned Mazdas, Toyotas, a Ford (AU assembled Mazda) & a FIAT (Pininfarina Spyder). Except the latter in the US, always new. Alwa...Read more
ys driven manuals, but as the Toyota ad from 1972 sang, " When I was 25 it was a very good year..." Hell we can't even remember 25 any more! The Koleos is one bang or the buck feature packed vehicle even at its entry level, or should I say particularly at its entry level in the Expression! Lots of plastic, but that's all cars in this class today. Quality of the upholstery is as good as any, and I prefer fabric to leather trimmed. I didn't want AWD or diesel. 2WD and 126kW for the weight of the 2.4litre petrol Koleos is more than adequate for our usage. I have realistic expectations. So far, this vehicle has exceeded all of them. Of course time will tell, but the acid test for me is being able to say honestly upon reflection and without the silliness that is 'owner pride' would we buy this vehicle again right now if we could change our choice or get our money back? An unequivocal yes. CVT, 5 year warranty, 3 year capped servicing, it's an SUV, did I mention CVT?, power to weight balanced with fuel economy from 2.4litre engine, its acceleration, braking and ride, comfortable seating, safety rating, and that it's feature packed. Cruise control, TomTom, Climate control, many proven cross components common drivetrain & chassis from X-Trail Panel fit/alignment shows off its Korean heritage versus our Japanese Mazda. But I don't care. So far, nothing wrong with it, just differences -pro and con- between our Mazda SUV and this (Koleos) one.2 comments

the exact same style model new again. I ended up loving the drop tail boot in particular, and it's a feature I'd really miss in the new model Koleos. My wife loves it as a utility bench for sorting for easy loading shopping. In particular, I will never buy another car without CVT. Arguably the favourite car of all we've ever owned, and we've had some beauts. i.e. early Japanese made Celica coupe, FIAT Pininfarina Spyder, and early adopters of the initial SUV styling back in 2001 with our Mazda Premacy.Similar opinion?

Good good
Got a 2009 second hand for 18K drive away. 40000 KM only (not AWD)
We are very happy, for such price it ticked all boxes.(6 air bags and all safety )
I will probably use the car for another 6-8 years so the second hand price doesn't matter to me.
I wouldn't consider Koleos if i have the budget for a new car, however, 18K wasn't enough for a Japanese SUV (with 6 airbags)
X trailer Engine and Renault body. The body is very solid
CVT gear box....
2 comments
What is it that don't you like about the Koleos' CVT? Or are you implying that you would have preferred a manual shift? Just a minor but accurate technical point - CVT isn't a "gear box" -as the acronym self-evidently implies.
The car was crashed last month on a 80KM /hour highway. The chassis and built were so solid.The family wasnt injury nor even felt impacted. Big thanks and farewell to my koloes as both car were total loss (the other party was a falcon)

Great family and practical car!
Very happy with the car... bought a Dynamique model 2012 model. Practical car with loads of features French owned company, designed and engineered in Japan, assembled in South Korea.
Love Tray tables, air con, and curtains at the back. Capped service for 3 years $299 with 24/7 roadside assist for free... great drive, cheers
European car features and compact but enough practical space
Leg room at back is good but not generous... Can recline back seats though

Save yourself the trouble!
I have had my Koleos 2 years. I bought from a dealer, executive driven demo. Diesel, panoramic sunroof, Bose sound, only 9000k. Seemed a great deal.
It has been nothing but a problem! The hands free did not come on this model so it was included on sale. They installed a system that did not work. Put in new buttons and a system that was incapable of functioning with the cars sound system. This was eventually replaced with another aftermarket unit that required a separate screen to be installed.
You would think Renault would know all this!...Read more
! I now have redundant buttons and a partly functional hands free unit. Problems started when I got heavy shaking through the steering wheel four months later. I took it to the Renault service centre where I purchased it and they told me it needed a wheel alignment. This was done free of charge and I took it away for the weekend. Same problem. Took it back in when we returned where they tested the car and 'needed it to have a look over'. In short, they had the car 9 weeks! It was leaking oil from the engine, required a full drive shaft replacement amongst so many other things. All warranty repairs but they refused to give me a report of what works were undertaken. All I was told was that it was 'Significantly major repair.' !5 comments

lems with inaccurate fuel gauge which is still not repaired and I am now out of warranty. I also have been without my car for approx 6 weeks while they try to diagnose the faults and fly parts in from France. I have been given no compensation at all, not even in the way of a free service. To add insult to injury, I was forced to take a loan car from the dealer as they were unable to identify the fault and was in an accident. I now have to pay $1000 excess when my own insurance excess is only $400 and Renault Australia have told me that I will just have to wear this expense as they have no control of the dealers insurance excess charges. I have now asked for them to refund me the current market value of the car as it has never been fully repaired and I am really concerned that the major problem I had last year where the car engine would cut out while I was travelling at 100km on the freeway has not been fixed properly given the fact that they have never completely repaired the fault with the fuel gauge. Renault are trying to tell me it is normal for a fuel gauge to fluctuate, even though mine will drop by about a quarter of a tank and then go back up again, even when stationery. The long and the short of it is, DON'T buy a Renault. They can not diagnose the faults, cost and arm and a leg to service and their commitment to customer service and quality is non existent!!! I wish everyone else out there who has posted positive feedback good luck when they start to have trouble with their car and are left stranded by Renault!!I had few things go wrong in the warranty period and they were fixed, without too many issues, by Renault.
