Last month, Renault announced the 2016 Renault Koleos for Australia and announced that the second generation model will reach showrooms on 1 August, 2016. These images from IAB reader Benedict Pentony give a closer look at the 2016 Renault Koleos in its Australian spec.

The Renault Koleos is available in Australia in three trim levels: Life, Zen and Intens, although only the latter two are currently listed on the website and in the brochure. The Koleos Life is front-wheel drive, the Koleos Zen can be specified as a 4x2 or a 4x4, while the range-topping Intens grade has an all-wheel drive system as standard.

The AU-spec 2016 Renault Koleos measures 4,672 mm in length, 1,843 mm in width (mirrors folded) and 1,678 mm in height, and has a wheelbase of 2,705 mm and a ground clearance of 210 mm. It is powered by a 2.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine that develops 126 kW (168.90 hp) at 6,000 rpm and 226 Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm. It's paired to the X-tronic CVT automatic transmission as standard; there's no option for a manual transmission.

The second generation Renault Koleos is expected to be launched in India by the end of 2017. The previous generation model is sourced in CKD form and assembled at the Renault-Nissan Alliance plant in Oragadam near Chennai. The same should be the strategy for the all-new model to keep the pricing competitive.
