What can be cooked from squid: quick and tasty

In 2016, the French company Renault plans to release the second generation of the popular Koleos crossover in the domestic market.

This model has good technical characteristics, pleasant appearance and enough low prices.

Appearance

The main goal set by the French manufacturer was to create a new model with minimal expenditure of funds.

As a result appearance the second generation Renault Koleos is not much different from the previous version.

At the front of the car, a new radiator grille is noticeable, which it inherited from the Paris prototype. Also, the bumper has acquired a different shape, which has become smoother and less pronounced.

In some way, the crossover resembles the old Chinese counterparts, which are supplied only to Asian markets.

The head optics have also changed, which has become to match the rest of the elements of the front end of the body.

In general, the crossover looks somewhat "hilly" compared to its previous version.

Perhaps, by doing so, the French manufacturer wanted to give "masculinity" to the new model. But it definitely looks much higher visually.

On the side of the body, you can find chrome trims that flank the lower door sill.

Otherwise, everything has remained unchanged here. The same can be said about the Koleos feed.

It retained the outlines of the elements that were present in the first generation car: unusual shape headlights, large-sized glass, partially covered by a rear wing, almost complete absence of a bumper and a smooth tailgate, divided into several parts.

The dimensions of the new Keno Koleos are 4520x1690x1885 mm. The crossover's ground clearance is 206 mm, which is a decent indicator of the model, especially in Russian conditions.

Interior

This simultaneously increases the visibility of the vehicle and expands the free space for rear passengers. In addition, the backrests of the sofa can be tilted.

The dashboard has retained its shape, and is a set of three wells, two of which are reserved for the tachometer and speedometer. Under the last one is a small on-board computer screen.

The center console has a display, as if "sewn" into the torpedo. It is part of the new R-Link multimedia system, which allows you to customize numerous on-board instruments for the needs of the car owner.

This is quite convenient, since, having spent some time once, the driver can, without hesitation, turn on suitable radio stations with one touch of his finger or mark a standard route on the navigation map. In addition, there is support for data transmission via Bluetooth.

The number of standard and optional crossover safety systems has also increased.

In addition, an air conditioning unit appeared, "serving" two zones.

Another interesting feature of the updated Koleos is the interaction of the on-board electronics and the parking brake: the driver can get under way without removing this brake. This will be monitored by the built-in hardware.

The tailpipes of the exhaust system are organically integrated into the rear bumper thanks to the subtle chrome finish.

The side view allows you to fully appreciate the relief of Renault Koleos sidewalls, which are not devoid of interesting stampings and transitions. Original chrome beams extending from the corners of the headlights to the vents on the doors highlight the personality of the new model from France. In general, the external design should become the main trump card of the 2nd generation Koleos.

In the interior of the crossover, you can find a lot in common with other cars of the brand, for example, from the last generation. The center console houses the R-Link 2 display in the form of an 8.7-inch vertical tablet or a 7.0-inch landscape screen. The multimedia complex has Bluetooth, a USB port and a slot for a memory card in its arsenal. The functionality also includes navigation with three-dimensional maps and a voice recognition function for controlling a smartphone or navigation system. A 7-inch digital dashboard will be able to compete with the main multimedia in terms of information content.

At the front, mega-comfortable heated seats will be installed, with an electric adjustment in 6 directions, adjustable lumbar support and ventilation. The rear sofa will delight you with freedom in all directions, which will minimize the inconvenience when placing three passengers there. The luggage compartment of Renault Wheels will allow loading from 542 to 1690 liters of luggage, depending on the position of the rear seat backs.

The ADAS safety complex includes adaptive headlights with automatic light switching, emergency braking, sign recognition, monitoring of "blind" zones and the driver's condition.

The technical characteristics of the 2nd generation Renault Koleos are based on four power units. Two gasoline atmospheric engines with a volume of 2.0 and 2.5 liters give 144 and 175 hp. power respectively. A pair of 1.6-liter diesels have 130 and 160 hp. The tandem with the engine will be a 6-speed manual transmission or an X-Tronic variator.

At the base, the crossover has a front-wheel drive configuration. It will also be possible to order a version with all-wheel drive All Mode 4 × 4-i, providing a mode of operation 2WD, 4WD Auto and 4WD Lock.

SUV production will be established in two places: Chinese Wuhan (for the Chinese market) and Korean Busan (for all other countries).
