Tags:
Introduction
During our recent trip to Paris for the global launch of the Renault Koleos and Renault Talisman, we spoke with Young Kwan, the Production Specialist, who shared his insights on the Koleos and what it has to offer.
The History of the Renault Koleos
Question 1: Can you tell us a bit about the history of the Renault Koleos?
The first sale of the Koleos in the Gulf market occurred in 2007-2008, marking it as the first SUV from the French manufacturer. The new model has greatly benefited from the alliance, which represents the company's SUV manufacturing line.
What Has Renault Learned as a Brand?
What lessons has Renault learned from its previous models?
Renault has made significant improvements in the large vehicle sector, with models like the Espace, Talisman, and Koleos. From previous models, we learned that off-road capability is crucial in this segment.
Enhancements in the New Model
What features would you like to highlight that were not present in previous models?
The all-new Renault Koleos is a completely redesigned vehicle, with an increase in length of 150 mm, enhancing the cabin space and stance. The CVT transmission is also a fantastic upgrade for the vehicle.
Nissan's Contribution
What has the new Koleos taken from Nissan?
Everything that is not visible to the customer, including the platform, transmission, and both front and rear axles. However, we have increased the front and rear track to achieve better design proportions.
