Renault Koleos SUV (2017 - 2020) Iconic dCi 175 4WD X-Tronic auto 5d Owner Review

I have to admit, this car was not on my shopping list. If it wasn't for a health problem then I wouldn't have been looking to change from a large executive/family car to an SUV. So, why did I choose this model? It boiled down to price/part ex deal and a fair degree of luxury, spec and performance. I am happy with this car now that I am getting used to the size and handling of the car. The CVT gearbox takes some getting used to from a twin clutch arrangement but it works well enough. The car handles really well for a large SUV and there is plenty of power up front too. It holds the road very well on main A roads as well as motorways and country lanes. The infotainment system is a touch fiddly and isn't as easy to use as say a VW group car but it does work well once you get the gist of it. Some reviews were not very favourable of this car but I tend to make my own mind up and I think it is a far better SUV than some give it credit for. As for MPG I am getting around 36/37 at the moment as I am driving more locally than on a long distance journey so I am looking forward to finding out what more the car will do, I am hoping for mid to high 40s fingers crossed. All in all the car is very good and kicked all but 1 of my boxes.
