Renault Koleos Signature now available

TC Euro Cars (TCEC) has announced that the Koleos Signature – a new two-wheel drive (2WD) variant of Renault’s flagship D-segment SUV – is now available and open for booking at all Renault branch showrooms nationwide.
The new variant presents an intermediate offering within Renault’s high-end large SUV line-up in Malaysia, which currently includes the Koleos 2WD and 4WD.
Offering enhanced connectivity, Koleos Signature incorporates a new smartphone replication feature through the R-LINK 2 multimedia system that is compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This function is integrated into the vehicle’s capacitive touchscreen display and allows for information to be easily transferred from one display to another. A steering wheel-activated control allows drivers to safely and vocally communicate instructions when accessing the various apps that are suitable for use while driving, such as calling, messaging and music.
For added convenience, the Koleos Signature comes with a hands-free power tailgate, which is also available in the 4WD variant. The power tailgate can be easily controlled via buttons from within the vehicle and directly on the power tailgate, as well as using the Renault Smart Keycard. Even with arms fully laden and the keycard buried deep in a pocket or handbag, the boot can be opened with a simple swipe of the foot underneath the rear bumper while the height can be programmed according to individual needs.
Koleos Signature also features additional refinement and styling, with a new electric panoramic sunroof that adds a premium touch while enhancing in-cabin ambience, as well as premium brown leather seat upholstery that portrays understated elegance.
The Koleos Signature is powered by a 2.5-litre petrol engine that is mated to an X-Tronic CVT automatic transmission for enhanced performance and driving enjoyment while optimising fuel consumption. This efficient engine is capable of delivering maximum power of 169hp and peak torque of 226Nm. It is also responsive at low and mid-range engine speeds.
The new Renault Koleos Signature variant is available at RM198,800 (on-the-road inclusive of GST, without insurance, for Peninsular Malaysia and private registration). Colour options available include Marron Red, Universal White, Meissen Blue, Grey Metallic and Black Metallic. Like all Renault mainstream vehicles, the Koleos comes with a five-year full manufacturer’s warranty with unlimited mileage. This warranty is fully backed by Renault and not undertaken by any other insurance companies, which means terms and conditions as well as parts covered are consistent from the first year of ownership to the end of the warranty period.
“Koleos continues to be a success globally and it’s been well received here in Malaysia as well. With this introduction of the new Koleos Signature variant, we believe that we are bringing in even more desirable functions and features that add value to our customers’ lives such as the Electric Panaromic Sunroof, the Hands-free Power Tailgate and compatability with Android Auto and Apple Carplay, on top of an already impressive kit of existing features,” said TCEC CEO, Kuan Kim Luen.
