Renault Koleos review: The 2020 SUV you probably forgot about. Comes w/ Apple CarPlay + Android Auto
The 2020 Renault Koleos is the SUV you’ve probably forgotten about. The Renault Koleos shares a platform with the Nissan X-Trail (Rogue), but the two medium SUVs couldn’t be any further apart! But, is it good enough to spend your money on? Paul Maric finds out!

Paul, would be great if you could do a review on Koleos 2023.
Hi
there's to many weird quirks with the car and user interface controls, the media key for the driver are unnecessarily complicated and hidden from view, as noted the cruise control is illogical an could have been a stalk but not some moron made it more complicated than necessary. the LCD screen for the driver is way to small and the information and configurability is sub par and squashed together due to lack of screen space. here's an idea Renault ditch the analogue fuel and temp gauge and just use a series of LED indicators and make the screen a more spacious size so media, NAV maps (BTW navigation cannot be in front of the driver) unlike in VW group vehicles.
I'd like to see gear paddles if its going to offer Tiptronic Manual mode.
its not too difficult to make the driven wheels screech if you put a bit to much power through them so that comes across is a little unrefined.
And interestingly the car has an Eco driving instructor in the silly infotainmeitnt software and yet the car features no Auto-start stop control when you're in heavy traffic. Renault seem to only offer that fuel saving feature for the top grade level models when the larger infotainment screen is fitted (weird!)
It seems odd to me for UI/UX design for R-link is almost hoping you will use your phone as a fall back plan as its really slow, confusing and laggy to use which ill deduct even more points for this irritance .It kind of feels like a French Nissan lolz. Personally I'm not a fan of it and wouldn't want to own a Koleos.
How is it as an family car?
I got tree kids and they have to fit in the backseat and be comfortable.
Ive tried the Kadjar but its abit to small.
the top spec koleos the “intens” has a vertical screen
Why the speedometer jumps incorrectly? As an example- push the accelerator the speedometer showed 30 km/h then 50 km/h. Not like 30,31,32 km/h. It’s confusing and chances to get speed fines
Can anyone explain why car reviewers obsess about soft touch dashboards? Can't remember the last time I stroked my dashboard.
Did you find that it had a blind spot to the right?
I've had one for 5 years and my experience is mixed. Overall the car does what it says but build quality is lacking. The driver seat and the gear knob are showing signs of wear and interior wind noise is very loud. Renault customer service is non existent in Australia. I'm happy but personally I would not buy another Renault in a hurry.
Why don't you ever test the diesel variant?
Bought a 2019 top spec Koleos its great its comfy roomy good looking and just in general a good car but I do feel you pain about the boot i,m 6.2 foot and its really annoying sometimes
Man I haven't heard tom tom in about 10 years
"The entertainment system is not very good" but earlier in the video when i was showing you the different features on the entertainment system i kept using the phrase "Thats really good".🤣🤣
The most uncomfortable car I’ve ever been in . You seat on the seats not in them.
Nice
Silly question with stop start cars how do you get to the accessory mode like older cars used to have with the key?
I kinda like it
I have a 2017 Kolios, it's done over 150000km and still runs like new. Love it for the size, we can fit 3 big (Britax maxi guard pros) child seats across the back with ease. Nothing else seemed to offer the same amount of size for the price.
Bought a 2020 intens with a 7 year warranty unbelievable value for what you get couldn't be happier , surprising not more on the road.
I looked at this last year, but ended up buying a Grand Scenic! It was the mpg that swayed us! I like the Koleos, but the Scenic does the same job!
Beautiful car till the shit-box Jatco CVT dies around 80,000 to 100,000 kilometres and costs as much as the car is worth at the time.
i wonder why you don't show us its smart autoparking feature
Nobody cares what Australians drive. Just as long as they don’t get as bad as Kiwis with the inflection at the end of a sentence. Australians suffer this, but the mutant accent of the New Zealand accent – please. BTW S not Esh UV. Let’s try that, S. Not Eshhh. Get a grip man.
koleos This is a cost-effective way to buy a new car. This is an explanation of how to remove the oil film from the car glass in 3 seconds while driving safely in the rain.
