New Renault Koleos 2012 - Collaboration Between Renault and Samsung




Renault Koleos : Collaboration Between Renault and Samsung.


The first fruit of collaboration between Renault and Korean Samsung - the Koleos SUV, and Korea (where the car is produced in the plant in Busan, South Korea) took the name of Samsung QM5 - draws on the look. Launched in 2008 (while the Samsung QM5 is on the market since 2007), the model that uses the floor and pull the Nissan X-Trail is preparing for the official debut will happen at the Frankfurt Motor Show next September.


The previous release of Koleos.

The changes from the previous model, however, are rather limited: the front and the front lights are new (and not deviate little from the family feeling of the current Renault Megane made to the family in December 2010), the exterior mirrors - with integrated turn signals - have been redesigned, as is dtato few tweaks to the interior (upholstery and dashboard), and were introduced to new design alloy wheels (called Austral) and a new color: orange Cayenne. 

Structure deformation and adoption of content security as standard equipment to allow Renault Koleos reaching the 5 star EuroNCAP rating.


Even the SUV Renault engines are similar to those present, while emissions have been cut down by 5-10%: 2.0-liter dCi engine is available with diesel power from 150 bhp and 175cv. The first version is also available in 4x2 Koleos, with CO2 emissions to 148 grams per kilometer (formerly the emission level of the engine was 165 g / km), while the second, only available on four-wheel drive , emissions are 166 g / km (on the model were pre-restyling of 174 g / km).


It is still early to talk about the new pricing model, of course, but the current offer of Renault Koleos SUV perte from 25,850 euros.


Difficult to predict a surge in sales, which in Italy are quite limited: the whole 2010 were 1,750 registered Renault Koleos.
