Renault Koleos Intens 2018 review: snapshot

It might be a silly name but it's properly loaded with stuff as long as you're happy to stump up $44,990.

The top-of-the-range Koleos is known as the Intens. It might be a silly name but it's properly loaded with stuff as long as you're happy to stump up $44,990 for the all-wheel drive petrol and $47,490 for the only diesel in the range. The Intens is quite literraly weighed down with 18-inch alloys, a 12-speaker stereo,

The top-of-the-range Koleos is known as the Intens. It might be a silly name but it's properly loaded with stuff as long as you're happy to stump up $44,990 for the all-wheel drive petrol and $47,490 for the only diesel in the range.

The Intens is quite literraly weighed down with 18-inch alloys, a 12-speaker stereo, dual-zone climate control, cruise control, remote central locking, reversing camera, front, side and rear parking sensors, auto headlights and wipers, cornering lamps, cloth trim, power windows, keyless entry and start, heated and cooled front cupholders, sat nav, heated and cooled electrica front seats, partial leather seats, auto parking, sunroof, LED headlights, powered tailgate, electric parking brake and roof rails, heated and powered rear vision mirrors and a space-saver spare.

The Koleos has a good basic safety package, with six airbags, ABS, stability and traction controls, brake force distribution, forward AEB, reversing camera, forward collision warning and lane departure warning. There are two ISOFIX points and three top-tether restraints.

The Intens adds blind spot warning and lane departure warning to the list.

Since its 2016 introduction, ANCAP has not got around to crash testing the Koleos. EuroNCAP has and awarded a five star rating in September 2017. Curiously, ANCAP has not recipocrated with the same rating as it has done in the past, which is confusing.
