Renault Koleos, the colossus among Renaults

Renault Koleos got a new sequel. And the name Koleos actually suits him very well, because it is a true colossus among Renaults.

New ones The Koleos is recognizable mainly by its strong design with a large front grille and the Renault logo. Many design parallels can be drawn between the comparison of Koleos and Talisman.

Security systems take care of control of lights when driving through a bend, they monitor the safety distance between vehicles, brake in an emergency and of course they take care of ESP and all the other aids in the car. Warning systems are responsible for warning when leaving the driving lane, they prevent excessive driver fatigue and instead they follow the traffic signs more intently and they control the blind spot. Assistance systems help us with parking, starting on a slope and with parking sensors they help to park.
