Our take on this /// Verdict

The Renault Koleos Base (2013) is a solid choice for those seeking a comfortable and feature-rich SUV. From my perspective, this vehicle stands out for its car-like handling, which is rare in the SUV segment. It is very stable around corners, eliminating the typical pitching, yawing, and wallowing often associated with SUVs. The Koleos also boasts a host of convenient features, including a split-folding tailgate, powered front seats, and a premium BOSE audio system. However, its discontinuation might affect long-term support and parts availability, which is a crucial consideration for potential buyers.

Price

The Renault Koleos Base (2013) was priced at Rs 23.99 Lakh (ex-showroom) in New Delhi. When considering the on-road price, you would need to add various costs such as registration, insurance, and other local taxes, which could push the total to around Rs 27-30 Lakh, depending on the state and city. Given its features and performance, the Koleos was competitively priced in its segment, but the current market dynamics and the models discontinuation might impact its resale value and overall cost of ownership.
