The new Renault has already appeared in Ukraine.

Model range, Renault expands in the direction of the most in demand in Ukraine and rising in the world of the SUV segment. Now the SUVs in our country is 40% of sales of passenger cars. All terrain products of the French brand beat off this year, 10% of the segment. Now, the automaker brought to the road the new generation of Renault Koleos and expects even bigger piece of the pie.

Buy new Renault Koleos is already possible: 27 the Ukrainians have done so even before the official presentation, completely rid the warehouse of the brand from the first batch of crossovers. The price — 1.1 million UAH for the top included, and prices start from 870 000 UAH.

The first generation Renault Koleos was revered by Ukrainians for the generous package, however, not too controversial for a favorite design. To the new generation of claims no appearance is made in a good style of the modern lineup and much like the fresh Renault Talisman. In particular, the intricate, but interesting Full LED optics.

Company representatives, speaking about the new Koleos, has focused on its off-road capabilities. Like, four-wheel drive and ground clearance of 210 mm allows not only safe to attack the edge of the city, but also to give full heat on the roads. Within the first meeting we were given the choice to ride on a relatively smooth road and to rate the comfort level of the car or to try to “bury” on the sandy slopes. Of course, we chose the second option, but “uryt” Koleos did not come out.

A short acquaintance left the most pleasant impressions: controllable machine sure stormed challenging obstacles, like a luxury yacht noble rushing on just not rocking on the waves. Whether it was with everything — steering, and rear-seat passengers. By the way, the company immediately noticed that the 7-seat version of the Koleos was never meant to be: it clearly will affect the facilities located on the gallery, and it is to them and tried to please the developers.

In the interior of the new Renault Koleos really done a lot in favor of the rear passengers in mind: there is 289 mm of legroom, comfortable Seating and armrest, nice lining. Front catches the eye a huge, vertical screen multimedia system. Surcharge its diagonal can be increased to 8.7 inches, and the base is 7-inch version. Using the touchscreen you can configure inner space for themselves: for example, by selecting one of five color interior lights which will illuminate all the niches and the interior trim of the doors.

The driver’s seat and his neighbor’s right hand got heated, and the cooling function for hot seasons. By the way, the same can now be done with drinks in the lounge — Cup-holder connected to a heating system and can either maintain the temperature of the contents in the Cup, or to quickly cool off.

In equipment for new Renault Koleos includes Parking sensors, monitoring the markings and signs, rear view camera, Parking sensors, and monitoring “dead” zones. In addition, customers will be able to equip cars with Bose sound system with 12 speakers and subwoofer. In it, by the way, there is a new feature of Active Noise Cancellation, is able to suppress unwanted noise from the outside. Speakers emit a sound wave with the same amplitude but with inverted phase of the extraneous noise. Waves in the process of the interference are mixed at new wave and suppress each other. Well, in the case of a noisy diesel engine this functionality is not hurt.

Moreover, the 2.0-liter turbodiesel engine — the only unit offered to the Ukrainians for new “Koleos”. It produces 177 horsepower and 380 Nm of torque. The company said that the appetite of such a motor in ECO mode and using all of the tips about the fuel economy displayed on the screen is limited to 5.8 l per hundred. In tandem with the motor running, the CVT X-Tronic new generation.

Well, this soldier is already in the game, but the company has not yet make specific predictions about its sales. In General, Renault expects to be the leader in the segment of new passenger cars in Ukraine and end the current year with the figure of 91 000 sold cars.
