Renault Australia marketing director Jason Miller says, “Australia is the first market in the world to launch the new Koleos, demonstrating how important this model is in the continued expansion of Renault’s business in Australia.”
The new Koleos will start at a manufacturer’s list price of just $29,990. Full pricing and specification will be released shortly

Revamped Alaskan Ute arrives in 2017
Earlier this month Renault revealed that the production version of its Alaskan Ute will be available next year.
It will be the only second European brand after Volkswagen to tap into the segment, though Mercedes-Benz is planning to join the fray in 2018 or 2019 with the GLT.
Based on Nissan’s new NP300 Navara chassis and body structure, the Ute will feature a 2.3-litre single or twin-turbo four-cylinder diesel engine that’s used locally in the Master commercial van.
The Alaskan will be available in cab chassis, single cab and dual cab. Both two and 4WD variants will be offered, with Renault revealing that the range-topping dual cabs will have 3500kg towing capacity, along with ‘over a tonne’ of payload capacity.
A six-speed manual or automatic transmission will be offered, depending on the variant and market.
