Koleos Sport Way lands in Oz

Renault Australia has taken the wraps of its Koleos Sport Way limited-edition, a model it says adds $2300 of additional value.

The mid-size SUV adds a bespoke interior of black leather with red stitching, deep crimson highlights and aluminium trim accents, a high-definition reversing camera and heated front seats.

The Koleos Sport Way also includes standard blind-spot monitoring and a premium BOSE audio system as standard.

Outside, 18-inch Bi-Ton alloy wheels – previously reserved for the high-grade Koleos Privilege – and black metallic paint complete the package.

Available exclusively in two-wheel drive, but with the choice of petrol or turbo-diesel power, the Koleos Sport Way is priced from $37,490 (plus on-road costs), placing it at a $1500 premium above the Koleos BOSE special-edition variant. Just 100 examples will be offered to Australian customers.

"We're excited to be launching the Koleos Sport Way Limited Edition in Australia and we’re actually the first market to go on sale with this product," said Renault Australia Managing Director, Justin Hocevar.

"The Renault Koleos competes in one of the most crowded market segments in Australia and we are thrilled to be able to offer this limited edition product offering for customers who want a sportier looking medium SUV. The Koleos has always represented tremendous value for our customers and we have continued this mentality when specifying this limited edition which represents over $2300 worth of value to consumers for an addition $1500.

"When customers encounter the Koleos for the first time they are constantly impressed by how spacious, comfortable and well equipped the vehicle is. The Koleos continues to offer customers a relaxing driving experience around town and thanks to the Renault-Nissan Alliance, the Koleos offers exceptional off-road capabilities when taken off the beaten track. We are confident the Koleos Sport Way Limited Edition will be well received by those looking for a medium SUV," Hocevar concluded.

Like all Renault passenger vehicles, the Koleos is offered with a five-year/100,000km warranty, included roadside assistance and capped-price servicing program. The first three (yearly) services on the Koleos Sport Way are priced at $299 apiece.
