(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Muscat- An athletic profile, robust front end, roomy seats, taut lines underscored with chrome, C-Shape LED Daytime Running Lights: The Renault Koleos captures everyone's attention. With an assertive design and immaculate finishing, the SUV has been designed for your driving pleasure.
A spokesperson for Renault Oman, from the house of Suhail Bahwan Automobiles (SBA), said, 'Renault Koleos delivers a blend of robust SUV cues and the refinement and features associated with large saloon cars. The X-Tronic automatic transmission was chosen to meet the needs and expectations of drivers. The Renault Koleos continues to be a preferred car for customers.'
The Renault Koleos exudes an inner strength and stands out for its powerful, muscular exterior lines, unparalleled four-wheel drive technology and all-terrain ability, thanks to the ground clearance of 210mm. Its record cabin space, the extensive range of equipment it proposes and its carefully appointed interior position the Koleos as a reference in its class for comfort and refinement.
In keeping with the Renault design strategy, the Koleos is covered by design pillar 'Explore,' which stands for robustness and a taste for adventure. It was the pursuit of these qualities that inspired Renault's designers to give the Renault Koleos taut, powerful, muscular lines. The Koleos features classic SUV design cues: Door protective mouldings, large diameter two-tones alloy wheels with diamond effect and aluminium roof bars.
A 2.5l petrol engine
The 2.5l petrol engine is an atmospheric, four-cylinder, 16-valve powerplant with double overhead camshafts. Power is 170hp (126kW) at 6,000rpm, with a peak torque of 233Nm at 4,000rpm. Care was taken to minimise friction for enhanced performance and optimised fuel consumption. With 200Nm torque available from as low as 1,800rpm, it is extremely responsive at low- and mid-range engine speeds and is particularly suited to towing (up to two tonnes). It can be specified with either two- or four-wheel drive and is exclusively coupled to the X-Tronic automatic transmission.
Reducing fuel consumption
The X-Tronic automatic transmission was designed to enhance driving enjoyment and reduce fuel consumption compared with conventional automatic transmissions. The Koleos' X-Tronic transmission performs like a multi-ratio automatic whenever the driver needs to accelerate briskly. It ensures seamless gear shifts under acceleration by proposing an infinite number of gears. It ensures that engine revs and load are constantly optimised to deliver enhanced fuel consumption, ride comfort and low noise levels when travelling at constant speeds. The driver has the option to select a seven-speed sequential mode to benefit from engine braking. X-Tronic transmission provides all the benefits of conventional automatic transmissions without the downsides.
Unmatched user-friendly 4x4 technology
The all mode 4x4-i transmission available on the Koleos features technology that has been proved on millions of Alliance vehicles worldwide. This all-wheel drive system permanently monitors grip levels to guarantee optimal traction in any condition.
Very easy to use, a control switch situated to the left of the steering wheel enables the driver to select one of the three modes: 2WD, 4WD Auto or 4WD Lock.
In addition to reinforcing the Koleos' off-road ability, the all mode 4x4-i system delivers even more dynamic performance plus greater stability and enhanced safety. The sensors permanently monitor both longitudinal and lateral acceleration as well as yaw rates and steering angles to optimise front/rear torque split and thereby ensure the most efficient grip possible, while also reducing understeer or oversteer.
Meanwhile, the combination of high ground clearance (210mm) and approach and departure angles of respectively 19 and 26 degrees ensure the go-anywhere ability.
The stylish body colours and wheel designs selected for the Koleos ensure elegance. It is available in metallic body colours: Ultra silver, universal white, metallic grey, metallic black, mineral beige and meissen blue.
