Renault Koleos Review

Safety and Security4 out of 5

Renault makes no bones about what it expects the Koleos to score in the forthcoming euro NCAP test expecting nothing less than full, or class-best results in every aspect of the rigorous testing.

Renault also claims the Koleos stops quicker than any of the competition thanks to big, effective brakes. The firm has also engineered the ESP to work with the electronic four-wheel drive system that shiffles torque away from the axle with the least grip as soon as under or oversteer is detected.

That's if you buy the a model with ESP that is. The base Dynamique comes without.

As far as security is concerned the Koleos, like other Renault cars, comes with auto door locking and an approved alarm and immobiliser as standard.
