Renault koleos in ghana

Test drive Renault Koleos NEW: gasoline engine and price reduction 10/26/2021 at 09:36 Updated: 10/26/2021 09:36 AM Roman Melnichenko Roman Melnichenko It looks like this is the first Ukrainian test drive for the newly updated Renault Koleos crossover. Moreover, behind the modest external changes, important internal changes are hidden: a new gasoline engine, front-wheel drive versions, price reductions for all trim levels. It seems that the car has just acquired "pluses" in its piggy bank? Or are there downsides? Do not rush to conclusions - now we will analyze everything in detail. Outside - by headlights and lanterns. If earlier LED headlights were distinguished by a pair of rectangular segments, now their internal filling is made in the form of three separate sections with vertical partitions. And the lanterns have become more interesting in design - they seem to have gained inner depth, a beautiful 3D effect has appeared. Otherwise, the appearance of the Renault Koleos crossover is familiar: classic body proportions, soft lines, accentuate Renault koleos in ghana d wheel arches. The car looks not aggressive, but solid: a rare combination in today's world. Visually, the Renault Koleos crossover has a kind of "pacifying kindness" or something - there is no aggression, but there is solidity and self-confidence. The overall body profile, especially when viewed from the side / rear, is reminiscent of the first generation Audi Q7. Changed filling of headlights and lamps with a 3D-pattern make it possible to identify the updated car. By the way, the optics are fully LED. There are even fewer changes in the cabin: new decorative strips on the front panel and doors, a new block of power window buttons, a couple of minor changes in the multimedia system menu. Perhaps this is because the interior of the Renault Koleos crossover has already been successfully updated one and a half to two years ago? It was then that luxurious armchairs with a beautiful back, embroidered with rhombuses, appeared. Plus, for the front seats, an adjustable pillow length and "hugging" head restraints have been added. And the rear passengers are pleased with the possibility of choosing the angle of inclination of the backrest. That's all, nothing else needs to be changed. So, the driver will have an excellent fit and cool devices that can change their design or color. The front panel is completely built around a huge vertical display with a good picture and a logical menu. And if the skeptics of ergonomics start their song about the physical controls, then I will answer them that there were some. Temperature selection, blowing the front glass and heating the rear, recirculation - these buttons are always at hand. Perhaps the only comment concerns visibility in the corners of the front windows, which are noticeably covered by large mirrors. But the rear passengers have no such comments. But there is excellent legroom and overhead, comfortable fit, ventilation deflectors, heated seats. Crossover Renault Koleos quite successfully claims the status of "family". Justifying such habits also with a good trunk: a huge opening and useful volume, a couple of pockets for small things, an electric cover. The salon is remembered for the massive center console with ventilation deflectors, digital dashboard, and luxurious seats. And also - spaciousness and convenience in the back: a truly family crossover! Changes are point-like: decorative strips in the style of "light wood", new buttons for power windows (which finally made it possible to get rid of the previous remarks). But the main change is hidden under the hood - if earlier Renault Koleos was offered in Ukraine only with a turbodiesel, now a gasoline engine is used instead. Traditional naturally aspirated 4-cylinder 2.5-liter petrol engine with aluminum block. Plus a variable valve timing system and multi-point fuel injection. By the way, to be absolutely precise, the displacement of this engine is 2488 cc, it develops 171 hp. power and 233 Nm of torque. Doesn't it look like anything? Why, a similar power unit of the QR25 series is available in the range of the Nissan X-Trail crossover! Which is not surprising: both cars are built on the same CMF platform, which provides for fully independent suspensions and the ability to use all-wheel drive in tandem with the automatic CVT X-Tronic variator (Jatco CVT8 JF016E). The technique of Renault Koleos was analyzed in detail in the first review of the model - and even then he noted that https://cars45.com.gh/listing/renault/koleos
