Which variant to buy
Most buyers should choose the RM191,888 2.5 2WD. It has the same 2,488 cc petrol engine, front-wheel drive, CVT automatic gearbox and five-seat layout as the Signature versions, while its quoted 171 hp is two hp up on the 169 hp Signatures. The 2.5 Signature 2WD costs RM212,888, while the 2.5 Signature Plus 2WD costs RM218,688. On paper, the RM21,000 and RM26,800 gaps do not buy mechanical upgrades, so check the equipment list before paying more for trim.

Renault Koleos buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The Koleos is a straightforward five-seat petrol SUV with a 2.5-litre engine and CVT, but its entry price sits near the upper end of familiar C-segment SUV territory. The base car costs RM1,100 more than the Subaru Crosstrek, RM5,600 more than the Peugeot 5008 and RM13,688 more than the Honda CR-V. The Signature trims demand still more without a quoted powertrain advantage.
