Arabian automobiles launches offer on the 2022 Renault Koleos

The Renault Koleos is that SUV offered by the French carmaker which punches harder than its weight to cater to those wanting a luxurious alternative than the Duster or the Captur. It’s the offering to go for when desiring something posh, immaculately built and powerful. Being the brand’s flagship model, Renault has lavished it with a decently powerful powertrain option and an offer which makes it more enticing and fall in the basket of one’s serious considerations.

For the 2022 model year, the October offer enlists free insurance for a year, servicing for 3-years and to top it all, a 5-year warranty. Some cars tend to get expensive not by their price, but by their cost of maintenance. However, this extended warranty cover and service agreement ensure that the owners won’t have to dispel a small fortune in maintaining the car for a greater part of its life cycle. 

It remains the same visually from the time it debuted but even after 5 years, it doesn’t show any signs of senescence. The bold and curvy grille, a hallmark of Renault cars coupled with a purposeful head lamp design, clean and bulbous SUV side profile followed by a neat rear are design cues to note. It’s now available in all-black titanium trims in case variegated hue persona is what you expect your car to exude. 

Function over form is the phrase that the designers might have kept in mind while contriving the interior of the car. An all-black theme for the trims mixing with veneer on the dash lends elegance to its outline. Digital dials, a crisp steering wheel and a large tablet sized layout for the infotainment screen are notable appointments which increase its worth.   

Having a spacious back seat and features such as ventilated seats, ambient lighting, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, BOSE audio and advanced driver assistance systems such as blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, park assist, auto emergency braking, forward collision avoidance assist and a host of others provided by its R-LINK 2 package. 

Powered by a 2.5-litre 4-cylinder gasoline engine, it churns out 170 hp and 233 Nm of torque. It is mated to a CVT to enhance the fuel efficiency figures and make the car more competitive against its healthy contention. Topping out at almost 200 Km/h and securing its nought to 100 Km/h time of an anticipated, under 10 seconds, the Koleos offers performance on par with its rivals.

The offer was available till the end of October and one could avail it by simply visiting a nearby Arabian Automobiles R-Store in Dubai, Sharjah or the Northern Emirates. Another way is by visiting the website Renault-dubai.com. The offer made the long-standing car a better value proposition. Its roots of reliability, spaciousness, elegance, good build and acceptable driving mannerisms already make it a compelling package but the wide warranty and service options make it an even better bargain. 

That said, it will have to claw back by providing even more in all aspects in the coming years as the competition has now grown stiffer with excellent contemporaries such as the GMC Terrain, Ford Escape, Hyundai Santa Fe, Honda CR-V and the Peugeot 5008 to quote a few. Till then, the current deal does enough as a prelude until the new generation Koleos roars into the market.
