The Renault Koleos enters 2024 unchanged, in what may be its last year on the market.
The range continues to open with the base Life at $37,500 before on-road costs and extends to $48,500 before on-road costs for the Intens 4×4.
The Renault Koleos rivals the likes of the more popular Toyota RAV4, Mitsubishi Outlander, Mazda CX-5, Kia Sportage, and the Hyundai Tucson.

With 2605 examples sold to the end of October, the Koleos is far behind those models but is outselling the moribund Ford Escape (2133 sales), as well as the Peugeot 3008 (510 sales) and Skoda Karoq (1219 sales).
Renault confirmed earlier this year the Koleos faces an uncertain future.
“[The] Koleos continues as is, product run this and next year and after that we don’t know,” said Renault Australia boss Glen Sealey.
Pricing
All prices exclude on-road costs.
Drivetrain
The 2024 Renault Koleos is powered by a 2.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine that produces 126kW of power and 226Nm of torque.

This is mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with drive sent to the front wheels only in 4×2 models and through an all-wheel drive system in 4×4 models.
Renault claims that 4×2 models can do the 0-100km/h sprint in 9.5 seconds, whereas 4×4 models can do the 0-100km/h sprint in 9.8 seconds.
Efficiency
Renault Australia claims fuel consumption of 8.1L/100km for Koleos 4×2 models and 8.3L/100km for the 4×4 models.
The Koleos runs on 91 RON regular unleaded petrol and all models have a 60L fuel tank.
