Just two years after launching the second generation of the Koleos, Renault gave it a facelift to boost sales, but the result was below expectations.

RENAULT Koleos

Renault introduced the Koleos in 2010 as its first SUV built together with Samsung Motors and introduced a facelift for it in 2013.

After a few difficult years affected by the world financial crisis, Renault tried to get back on its fit faster than its competitors and introduced a facelifted version of its biggest SUV, the Koleos.

Renault rebadged the Korean Samsung QM5 and sold it in Europe as the Koleos, a daring offer in the SUV/crossover segment where the French automaker was poorly represented.
