Even rural primer in France better than any other Central streets of Russian cities. Why the French wheel drive, if there are no snowy winters and there are no bad roads? In order to understand this, fly to Paris for a test-drive new Renault Koleos.
Renault Koleos International France is a multinational country. In Paris, a lowly taxi driver from Algeria will give you a lift to a hotel, a smiling penitent will help bring the bag to the room, and the laundered Albanian puppies will ask for a European coin for poverty. France is pursuing a policy of "melting pot", gradually leading all visitors to the General Gallic Denominator. The SUVs and crossover in France are the unpopular mode of transport. No Koleos at Renault Koleos has met the entire trip in the stream, with the work of several countries joining together. The car was originally designed for the Korean market. In the country of the morning, it came out under Samsung's car (more than 80 percent of the factory's shares belong to Renault). Korean engineers advised the Japanese, their colleagues in the Renault-Nissan alliance, had borrowed a 4x4 chassis (similar platform from Qashqai and X-Trail). The assembly of the vehicle has been established in Busan. And the French have given the crossover a new name and their corporate "dress-code." Renault Koleos These international projects for the modern automotive industry are a natural phenomenon. But the problem is that designers have to take into account the tastes of different ethnic groups. The Koleos orestaloption variant was, if I could say so, very French. He was criticized for the uncharacteristic and boring, and the special glory of Renault's parquet firstborn did not descend. The old Renault Koleos (left) and the updated version. Now buyers will be able to buy Koleos colors of Orange Cyennes by the current restyling, in my opinion, did not add any new emotions to "Koleos". The update went according to the standard principle: the bumper, the headlights, the false-grille grille, the side mirrors showed the turning lights. As a result, the new car looks more neutral. Emotional calm. Renault Koleos, however, does not prevent the French from imitating Korean models. If the first time it was Hyundai Tuson, then Koleos is now noticeably reduced to the reduced Santa Fe. Although I don't think that such a parallel appeared with any commercial intent. The main buyers of Koleos are Japanese businessmen over 30 years of age. It is unlikely that this applies to Russia, but the domestic clerk is more likely to buy a baby premium. In the salon, the change is even less visible. The developers just updated the faceofs of small things. For example, the red alarm button was black with a small center, and the bulkhead has a light color. New material for the seat upholstery has appeared. Salon Renault Koleos is available for maximum installation. Tom Tom already knows the Russian language on a solid 5, but Russia's geography is higher than the two plus it is not to be understood by the Renault Markethologists, first of all, by attracting the attention of the client, first of all, through the exterior renovations, and the concept of the cockpit's cabin has not been aged yet. European soft plastic, convenient, regulating in two positions the ergonomically correct driving position. Although the seats are no different to the sports profile, they would be more coherent with the side rolles of the backs and the sioons. The optical glass roof is divided into two windows, the first one is an ordinary sliding circuit with a hint of "off-Road" to Russia, a parkette will be supplied with the old set of engines: petrol volume of 2.5 l (170 l. 226 Nm) and 2 litre turbodiesel (150 l. , 320 Nm). In the first case, a 6-speed "mechanic" or CVT CVT is offered as a choice, only 6-speed "automatic". Therefore, we will check the quality of this loophole at the Renault area where engineers are engaged in fine-tuning of pre-production samples. Passing through the rapid mini-bus tests, we get to the tumor with the artificial off-road barriers. Here we are waiting for cars with 150-strong diesel units dCi and 6-speed automatic transmission boxes (the exact same combination occurs on the European modifications of the Nissan X-Trail). The Diagonal Diverting of Renault Koleos is held without special problems with the geometric indicators of sausages of "Koleos" all well: the angle of entry is 27 degrees, the congress is 31 degrees, and the choir is a real combat-205 mm. Thanks to this diagonal drying, the crossover takes place without any problems. It is, of course, a significant trump card and a "quick-cunning" transmission of All Mode 4X4-i with a large electromagnetic muffel (with the possibility of being forcibly locked) in the rear wheel drive. The computer examines the degree of opening of the throttle, the angle of the wheel and the angular velocity of the machine. The "moment" with a slight substructure is moved to the loaded axle and the rereleased wheel is on the stabilisation system. The technology of the Japanese stuffing is what it is. The four-wheel-drive transmission has three modes: the economical front-wheel drive 2WD, Auto-rear bridge, where necessary, and forced lock of the fly at speeds up to 40 mph in front of the solid, 320 "Newton-meters" is a small move. Voila! On the way down at speed up to 7 mph, the pedal can be trusted by an electronic assistant connected to the ESP. Shame, under the wheels only a dry coating, on which many parkegs look confident. On the other day, on the rustle of the Coleos, the number of brothers will be given a head start. I want to make a move. It feels like the cruising speed is clearly somewhere in the hundreds ... The Koleos bottom is little protected from stones and other road surprises. The pipes and the silencer of the French Railway and narrow lanes of the general use will be the first blow to consider already from the petrol window with a varator. It is immediately thrown into the eyes that the dynamics of the "Coleos" on such a pick is not a dynamic one. The vallylevel variator disallows 170 prospective "horses" on a free pass. However, the pensioner's dispersion does not interfere with the flow of confidently, easily adapts to the case of French "Zaporozhtzi"-Citroen 2CV. While we were testing Koleos, the Renault test site was tested by an unknown prototype, the straight easing of the move is as great as a different business sedan. In dynamic turns, it is felt that the reaction of the machine is not able to keep up slightly behind the wheel, the sharp reconstructs cause palpable christans. But even if you made a mistake with the chosen speed for maneuver, the exchange rate system stabilisation will extinguize the skid by confusing the inertia with the brakes and the "strangled" motor. Renault Koleos Menus Koleos is bribing practicality: a spacious salon, a glass roof, a large number of windy compartments, a trunk with a two-part rear door. For a family person, this can be a real find that will allow dozens of great weekend hives in the vicinity of the asphalt landscape. Since the pick of the Stalinehold machine will not change, the manufacturer promises to keep the prices at the same level. And it's another plus, which, if it doesn't increase sales, doesn't give them a fall. The main problem of "Koleos" is that the price of the crossover from Renault is comparable with the price-points on the X-Trail. And the Russian consumer is inclined to trust the more settled models.
