Super TestCar reviews - Renault - Koleos - 5-dr wagon rangeRenault modelsOverviewThe Renault Koleos falls short of the compact SUV segment leaders30 Nov 2011 RENAULT has given its slow-selling Koleos compact SUV a mid-life makeover by bolstering the list of features, tweaking the diesel engine’s fuel economy and slapping on a less polarising front grille. As before, the range is available in three specification levels, powered by either diesel or petrol engines matched with six-speed manual, CVT or six-speed automatic transmissions in front- or all-wheel drive configurations. The clever interior, five-star safety and five-year/unlimited kilometre warranty remain as before, all of which make for an enticing showroom proposition. The question is, are these modest tweaks enough to transform a segment lightweight into a legitimate contender?
