Renault Koleos
The Renault Koleos, also known as Renault Samsung QM5 for the first generation and Renault QM6 in South Korea for the second generation (until 2022, it was marketed as the Renault Samsung QM6), is a five-passenger compact, later mid-size crossover SUV manufactured by the French manufacturer Renault over three generations. It is primarily manufactured in Busan, South Korea by Renault Korea (previously Renault Samsung Motors).
In South Korea, its main market, the first generation was marketed as the Renault Samsung QM5 and the second generation is marketed as the Renault Samsung QM6. The latter uses the Renault–Nissan CMF-CD modular platform shared with the Nissan X-Trail/Rogue (T32) and Renault Kadjar. The third generation is marketed as the Renault Grand Koleos and moved to the Compact Modular Architecture platform developed by Geely. It is based on the Geely Xingyue L / Monjaro.
The Koleos was an addition to the Renault compact SUV market, after selling the Scénic RX4 and the Kangoo, but it has never produced a true crossover SUV. A Koleos concept car was shown in the media as early as February 2000.
The Koleos was unveiled in 2006 as the Renault Koleos Concept at the Paris Motor Show. The production model was launched at the end of 2007 in South Korea, and in 2008 in other markets.
The Koleos' body design was based on the Renault Koleos and Renault Egeus concept cars. Some of the Koleos's competitors, such as the Citroën C-Crosser and the Peugeot 4007, were also presented by the time it was launched. ADAC of Germany awarded five stars to the Koleos, in a crash test done in August 2008.
A facelifted Koleos was unveiled in July 2011, and shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2011. In August 2010, the Koleos was withdrawn from the United Kingdom, due to poor sales of under 2,600 units. Production ended in March 2015.
For the market in South Korea, the Koleos was manufactured by Renault Samsung Motors (a subsidiary of Renault) at its Busan plant in South Korea, and was sold as the Renault Samsung QM5 (H45).
In the market in India, Renault introduced the Koleos in September 2011. It was available with a 2.0 dCi diesel engine, with a maximum power output of 150 PS at 4000 rpm, and peak torque of 320 Nm at 2000 rpm.
