The Dynamique S Nav kicks of the range, but is still very well equipped, with a panoramic sunroof, part- leather upholstery, 18-inch alloys, dual-zone climate control, and a seven-inch R-Link2 infotainment system featuring sat-nav and Apple CarPlay as standard.
Stepping up to signature Nav – which is priced from £29,800 – and you get larger 19-inch alloys, LED headlights, a full leather interior, an 8.7-inch displayand an electrically-powered tailgate.
A Bose sound system (£600), metallic paint (£545) and hands-free parking (£350) are among the options. prices rise to £34,200 for a top-spec 4WD automobile model.
The arrival of the Koleos will mark the completion of Renault’s overhaul of its entire line-up, a process which first began when design boss Laurens van den Acker refreshed the Clio in 2012. Renault’s Paris show star, the Trezor concept, hints at what the future has in store beyond the Koleos.
