2025 Renault Koleos Techno owner review

Have you experienced any reliability issues with your vehicle since you purchased it?

No.

Have you had to make any warranty claims?

No.

Has your vehicle been serviced at least once since you took ownership?

Yes.

Worked well and had a loan car, no issues, and if there were they said drop by, we will check – happy with that service.

It was completed, and of course, no issues were found, and the vehicle is working well. Thanks, Renault.

Overall, are you satisfied with your ownership experience so far?

Yes.

Have to travel to Tuggeranong for servicing, but have a loan car if required.

So far the vehicle is great, so quiet and smooth, love the CVT, it works well, the Nappa leather seats, love the cooling, the interior is very well thought out.

Garth’s experience with the 2025 Renault Koleos Techno

Hi all, I bought the brand new 2025 Renault Koleos 4x2 Techno with extras, including a factory-fitted towbar.

So far, just over 5600km on the clock, and of course, there are no issues.

I love the cooling Nappa leather seats, the seats are very comfortable, and they are also electric – and it cools in all the right places.

The interior of the cabin is well laid out, and the soft touch points are just right. I even like the interior mood lighting around the metal trim that you can set up.

The dual auto air con works very well here in Canberra. When you use the demister, wow, it sounds like a jet taking off! It demists in seconds.

The fit and finish of the bodywork has no issues. You hear that solid clunk when you shut the door, the electric tailgate works well, as does the sunroof. I love the LED lights, they are amazing.

I’m very impressed with the CVT, it works bloody well – just put the foot down gently, no jerky gear shifts, just smooth and refined. A thumbs up.

I’m surprised at how well it does drive. It's smooth, steers well, and the privacy glass in the back works well. On the highway with cruise set, it is so quiet, and driving around town, no issues if you are smooth on the accelerator. It's okay if you are a lead-foot Larry; it will make a lot of noise.

Yes, the 2.5-litre is getting old, but it does the job. Going up a few steep hills, it needs a poke.

I’m more than very surprised that there aren’t more people driving them, compared to what else is out there.

I’m happy with the safety tech that’s in it, and in my opinion, it doesn’t need adaptive cruise control or the cross-traffic alert. It’s not hard to turn the head left and right to check.

The sat nav is very good. I’ve had no issues using it, and the Bluetooth works well for me. I have an Android phone, so it links up straight away.

The back seat fits three with room to spare. It has cooling vents for the back, they work okay. The boot space is great, and no issues at the fuel pump; it takes 91 and up.

Yes, it's French. If Daniel Ricciardo can race for them, it's okay in my books!

It has a few quirks, like the cruise control and the R Link. It does all work, just takes time to sort it out.

So far so good, obtaining over 620km, and 750km (highway) Canberra to Sydney and back on a tank – and the air con on flat stick.

I love everything about the car, and the price you can’t really beat it, even using the finance option. The only thing I wish it had would be a front-facing camera.

The colour is a metallic grey; very nice, it’s an elegant vehicle in my opinion, and a good size. I do love the rims.

Thank you, Renault.
