Koleos

Renault’s flagship D-segment SUV – the Koleos – has been refreshed with a more distinctive exterior styling and enhancements to an interior that is already one of the most spacious and comfortable in its class.

Now available for booking at the showrooms of TC Euro Cars, the latest version of the Koleos will continue to be offered in two variants:  a base version and a more extensively equipped Signature version.

This being a midcycle update, the overall dimensions are unchanged (2705 mm for the wheelbase within a total length of 4672 mm) but the revised exterior design gives a more aggressive and muscular look, with Renault’s Pure Vision LED headlamps available on both variants. Customers can choose either a Universal White or Black Metallic exterior finish.

Key enhancements include new front and rear bumpers with full-width chrome detailing, and new alloy wheels (19 inches diameter for the Koleos Signature). Both variants are now equipped with the convenient hands-free power tailgate which is height-adjustable according to individual needs.

Equipped Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the occupants can now interface whatever is on their smartphone with the car’s 8.7-inch R-LINK2 multimedia system.

Power adjustment for seats are standard for both front seats while rear passenger seats have a 2-step adjustable seat configuration for enhanced comfort. An electric panoramic sunroof (Koleos Signature only) adds a premium touch while enhancing cabin ambience.

The Koleos imported to Malaysia is powered by a 2.5-litre petrol engine mated to an X-Tronic CVT automatic transmission. This efficient and proven engine can produce up to 171 ps/226 Nm while going up to 12.3 kms/litre, according to factory tests.

The new Koleos prices are from RM179,888 for the standard variant and RM189,888 for the Koleos Signature (on-the-road inclusive of SST, without insurance, for private registration in Peninsular Malaysia). Each new unit comes with a 5-year full manufacturer’s warranty with unlimited mileage. Owners also enjoy a free scheduled maintenance service package for the first 5 years or maximum of 100,000 kms.

During the month of November 2019, TCEC is offering up to RM15,000 for trade-ins on top of the vehicle assessment amount. Alternatively, they can choose the Renault Subscription scheme which offers freedom and flexibility of ownership. There’s no commitment to a long-term loan tenure, rigid lock-ins and vehicle depreciation costs are also non-issues.

For decades, the traditional way of buying a car has required a down-payment of a certain percentage and then repayment of the loan – with interest included – every month for an agreed number of years. However, many people no longer want to be tied down by such a commitment and for them, TC Euro Cars (TCEC),  the sole franchise holder of Renault vehicles in Malaysia, offers the Renault Subscription scheme.

Two plans are available for the Renault Subscription scheme which started with the Captur and Koleos models and is now also available for the latest high-performance Megane R.S. 280 Cup.

The Fixed Plan is a more structured plan, available for short periods of 1,2 or 3 years, with a monthly usage rate that covers annual roadtax, insurance premium and regular servicing costs. This plan starts from RM3,999 a month for the Megane R.S. 280 Cup.

Then there’s also the Switch Plan, offering more freedom and flexibility as buyers are given access to other Renault models with no change to the previously announced rates. The Switch Plan offers the Captur with the option of utilising both the Koleos and Megane R.S. within the subscription period.

Furthermore, the Switch Plan comes with no mileage caps, no cancellation penalties and fees are inclusive of insurance, annual roadtax and regular servicing costs. Replacement of wear and tear items for the Captur are also included under this plan.

“We believe that Subscription is the alternative that consumers are looking for in their vehicle ownership experience. With the updated Switch Plan, Renault Subscription is even more compelling as customers can now swap from the compact Captur to the luxurious new Koleos SUV, and over to the high-performance machine offered with the Megane R.S. The public interest in Renault Subscription has exceeded our expectations, so we believe we are on the right track,” said Wong Hoe Mun, CEO of TC Euro Cars, adding that only limited units of the Megane R.S. 280 Cup are available on Subscription.
