Of the current Formula 1 grid, Daniel Ricciardo stands out as one of the most likable guys in the king of motorized sports. Now driving for Renault, the 30-year-old racer has been treated to a limited edition of the Koleos in Australia.
Based on the Zen trim level, the mid-size crossover utility vehicle will number “under 400” examples of the breed. Priced at 36,490 dollars drive-away, the Koleos Formula Edition is 1,500 dollars more expensive than the Zen with front-wheel drive and the 2.5-liter engine. The four-cylinder plant is good for 126 kW and 226 Nm of torque, and a continuously variable transmission comes standard.
19-inch alloy wheels, silver side steps, a Formula Edition sticker on the trunk, black mirror caps, keyless entry, and heated seats are included in the price. Highlights also include the electrically-adjustable driver’s seat and optional panoramic sunroof which is sure to leak water into the vehicle’s cabin in a few years’ time.
Three colors are available for the bodywork of the Koleos Formula Edition, namely Universal White, Metallic Grey, and Metallic Black. On the technological front, the 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system comes with satellite navigation, a reversing camera, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as amenities such as lane departure warning, a blind spot monitor, and auto emergency braking.
Based on the Nissan X-Trail, the second generation of the Koleos was introduced in 2016 at the Beijing Motor Show. Renault builds it on the CMF-CD platform at the Wuhan facility in China and Busan in South Korea, and depending on the market, three more engine options are available. These are a 2.0-liter with natural aspiration, 1.6 dCi, and the 2.0 dCi turbo diesels.
Europe also gets the Koleos, but the sales figures aren’t too impressive if we’re honest. Better in every single way than the preceding model, the Koleos accounted for 18,999 sales in this part of the world in 2018. The X-Trail, which is known as the Rogue in the United States, sold no fewer than 48,133 units in the Old Continent last year.
