2012 Renault Koleos Road Footage

In order to squeeze out a few extra sales from the struggling Koleos crossover, Renault has thrown a makeover and some more efficient engines at it, and we’re willing to give it a second look with this recently released video of the 2012 model on the road. The most noticeable mods were made at the front of the car.
The French crossover will be offered in a choice of two powertrains and two trim levels. Specifically, customers will get to choose from the dCi 150 and the dCI 175, in the Carminat or Exception equipment level.

Both engines come with 6-speed manual gearbox - the dCi 150 can also get a 6-speed automatic - and can be coupled with front-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive powertrains. Renault also claims the new Koleos is also more efficient, as the CO2 emissions for the dCi 150 engine are only 148 g/km.

Standard equipment on the 2012 Renault Koleos now includes parking sensors, hands-free entry, automatic dual-zone climate control, Carminat TomTom Live navigation, an electronic parking brake, alloy wheels and Bluetooth.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
