Koleos Signature - a new variant in D-segment SUV now available

TC Euro Cars (TCEC) announced that the Koleos Signature – a new two-wheel drive (2WD) variant of Renault’s flagship D-segment SUV – is now available and open for booking at all Renault branch showrooms nationwide.

As part of Renault’s premium range, Koleos has been conceived and meticulously thought through to meet the demands of exacting customers on every continent. An authentic D-segment SUV, the Koleos benefits from Renault’s 120 years of experience and technical know-how. It delivers a blend of robust SUV design cues, combining rugged assertive styling with the refinement and comfort associated with large saloon cars.

The new Koleos Signature variant presents an intermediate offering within Renault’s high-end large SUV line-up in Malaysia, which currently includes the Koleos 2WD and 4WD.

Koleos Signature incorporates a new smartphone replication feature through the R-LINK 2 multimedia system that is compatible with both Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™. This function is integrated into the vehicle’s capacitive touchscreen display and allows for information to be easily transferred from one display to another. A steering wheel-activated control allows drivers to safely and vocally communicate instructions when accessing the various apps that are suitable for use while driving, such as calling, messaging and music.

For added convenience, the Koleos Signature comes with a hands-free power tailgate, which is also available in the 4WD variant. The power tailgate can be easily controlled via buttons from within the vehicle and directly on the power tailgate, as well as using the Renault Smart Keycard. Even with arms fully laden and the keycard buried deep in a pocket or handbag, the boot can be opened with a simple swipe of the foot underneath the rear bumper while the height can be programmed according to individual needs.

Koleos Signature also features additional refinement and styling, with a new electric panoramic sunroof that adds a premium touch while enhancing in-cabin ambience, as well as premium brown leather seat upholstery that portrays understated elegance.

The Koleos Signature is powered by a 2.5-litre petrol engine that is mated to an X-Tronic CVT automatic transmission for enhanced performance and driving enjoyment while optimising fuel consumption. This efficient engine is capable of delivering maximum power of 171 PS and peak torque of 226Nm. It is also responsive at low and mid-range engine speeds.

The new Renault Koleos Signature variant is available at RM198,800 (on-the-road inclusive of GST, without insurance, for Peninsular Malaysia and private registration). Colour options available include Marron Red, Universal White, Meissen Blue, Grey Metallic and Black Metallic.

The Koleos Signature will be on display at Renault showrooms nationwide from today onwards, and will be on display as part of Renault’s showcase at the Malaysia Autoshow 2018, which takes place from 26 to 29 April 2018.

SUV capability with unrivalled spaciousness and superior comfort

The Koleo’s SUV capability is evident in its powerful and athletic exterior lines, large 18-inch alloy wheels, elevated driving position of 150mm over a traditional sedan that is highly prized by SUV buyers, tall and wide dashboard that exudes a sense of safety and protection, high ground clearance as well as wide approach and departure angles of the doors which count amongst the widest in the its segment (70 degrees at the front and 77 degrees for the rear doors).

Painstaking attention to cabin appointments and materials selected for the quality they exude ensure that the Renault Koleos delivers high standard of travelling comfort for drivers and passengers.

Working in tandem with the R-LINK 2 tablet, key driving data such as speed, engine speed, fuel consumption and navigation instructions is displayed on a customisable seven-inch colour TFT screen situated behind the steering wheel, in the driver’s line of sight.

Like all Renault mainstream vehicles, the Koleos comes with a five-year full manufacturer’s warranty with unlimited mileage. This warranty is fully backed by Renault and not undertaken by any other insurance companies, which means terms and conditions as well as parts covered are consistent from the first year of ownership to the end of the warranty period.
