What Makes the New Renault Koleos An Out-of-the-box SUV for the UAE?

Abu Dhabi : The new version brings a lot of freshness to the table, from style to luxury and safety.

• The new Koleos comes with C-shaped LED headlamps, 20-inch alloy wheels, and a rear LED light strip.
• The cabin is now airier with comfort features like panoramic sunroof, 3-zone climate control and a lot of tech.
• New safety aspects include automatic parking and lane-keep assist, among 29 driver assist features.

Spot the Renault SUV in almost any car park across the Emirates, and its presence stands out. Renault’s approach, inspired by the French idea of voitures à vivre, which means ‘car for living’. It puts real-world needs ahead of fancy showroom looks. 

Every detail is shaped by daily use, from the areas where you want more room to a punchy 2.0-liter turbo engine that blends power with driving ease. Now Renault has stepped things up a notch. The newest Koleos offers a broader, inviting cabin, smarter tech, and a style that looks quite confident. 

Beneath the bonnet, you get 235 hp with 350 Nm of torque. This brings steady acceleration and smooth overtaking, whether you pick front or all-wheel drive. If you are thinking about the popular 2025 model or the latest release (now from AED 1,789 a month), here is what is new with the Koleos.

Broader stance, bolder look

Previous Koleos models always grabbed attention with their confident lines, C-shaped LED lights, and well-placed chrome touches. The new Koleos doubles down on that approach. A wider stance and a signature front grille give it a distinctive face, while the larger boot (a generous 589 liters) makes travel more convenient. 

The spacious interior means no one feels cramped, and the addition of 20-inch Highland alloy wheels gives the car a modern finish. Every choice serves a purpose, making the SUV perfect for daily tasks and weekend trips.

Comfort with every drive

Step inside the 2025 Koleos and you will find comfortable seats and a view of traffic from above, ideal for city commuting or longer journeys. In the latest version, the cabin feels even airier and brighter. The panoramic sunroof fills the space in daylight. Best-in-class legroom means everyone relaxes on the move. 

Renault uses soft-touch TEP instead of traditional leather, so seats stay cool in summer and cosy in cooler months. There is plenty of room for back-seat passengers to relax, and heated and cooled front seats pair with three-zone climate control. Everyone can set their perfect temperature, adding to a pleasant travel experience.

The driver's seat is also 8-way electrically adjustable with lumbar support and memory. Further, a head-up display with an acoustic windscreen makes the journey more updated and enjoyable.

Simple, smarter tech

The previous Koleos brought a touch of flair with ambient lights and the easy-to-use R-Link 2 system, featuring an 8.7-inch display for maps and music. The updated design goes further with technology. You get three large openR screens, making the dash fully digital and giving both driver and front passenger handy, clear displays for all key functions. 

The display comes with wireless smartphone replication, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support. USB-C charging points and a wireless charging pad keep phones ready to go, so every journey stays connected.

Advanced safety for every trip

Safety came first in the old Koleos, offering hill start help, parking sensors, and cameras that made parking less painful. The new Koleos raises the bar. Automated parking means that with the press of a button, the car not only finds a space but parks itself. It’s a handy feature for busy car parks. 

Added driver aids like lane keeping and quick-response support in tricky moments mean more protection, always running in the background. With 29 separate safety features, you can drive with extra confidence.

Sharper in-car sound

In the earlier model, Bose speakers provided a solid, balanced sound, making music and podcasts enjoyable on the go. The latest Koleos improves the experience. With ten Bose speakers and a dedicated subwoofer, the sound is richer and more powerful. Every seat gets great, clear audio, turning each drive into a pleasure.

Renault Koleos price in the UAE

The Renault Koleos price in the UAE ranges from AED 118,000 to AED 138,000. The SUV is available in two trims: Techno and Iconic. The SUV competes against the likes of Mazda CX-5, Changan CS95, Nissan X-Terra and Toyota Fortuner in its class.
