New Renault Koleos
The French automaker’s global SUV – the Koleos – might make a comeback in the Indian market. This time around, the company will bring in the new generation model which broke cover at the 2016 Beijing Motor Show. The new-gen Koleos will be built on the Renault-Nissan Alliance’s CMF platform, and follow the carmaker’s new design philosophy ‘Expolre’. Some of its design and styling bits are carried over from the new Koleos and Talisman sedan. The SUV’s new model is 150mm longer, 12mm narrower and 29mm shorter than its current generation. Its interior, too, will be revised with new connectivity and comfort features. The SUV is likely to come in petrol and diesel guise, and transmission options are expected to include a 6-speed manual and X-Tronic automatic gearbox.
