Renault is about to shake up the Brazilian automotive market with the arrival of its latest mid-size SUV, the Grand Koleos. Betting high on a major sales success, the French automaker aims to win over consumers with a model packed with innovations and cutting-edge technology.
The arrival of the Renault Grand Koleos in Brazil is already confirmed, and expectations are high for this new mid-size SUV that promises to be a tremendous sales success. Renault, which has been heavily investing in strategic partnerships, especially with the Chinese group Geely, is bringing to the country a model that combines sophistication and modernity.
Grand Koleos is the Result of Collaboration Between Renault and Geely
The Grand Koleos is the result of collaboration between Renault and Geely, one of the giants of the automotive industry and owner of the renowned Volvo brand. This mid-size SUV, which comes to replace the old Koleos in the global market, shares its platform with the Geely Monaro. This already gives an idea of the level of quality and technology we can expect.

The Engine is Another Strong Point
Equipped with a hybrid system that combines a 1.5 turbo three-cylinder engine with 150 horsepower and an electric motor with 136 horsepower, the Grand Koleos delivers a total of 245 combined horsepower. In addition, the model features a DHT transmission and front-wheel drive, along with a 1.62 kWh battery, sufficient to operate efficiently in hybrid mode.
Interior
Inside, the Grand Koleos is pure luxury and technology. It features three 12.3-inch screens that form a configurable digital dashboard, a central multimedia screen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and built-in GPS, as well as a dedicated screen for the passenger with access to streaming and games. The interior space is generous, accommodating up to seven occupants with great comfort and top-notch finishing.
When it comes to safety, Renault has not skimped. The Grand Koleos comes with adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, traffic sign recognition, collision warning, lane keeping assist, and much more. All this, combined with disc brakes with ABS, eight airbags, and traction and stability control, makes the SUV one of the most complete in its category.
Estimated Price Around R$ 250,000
With an estimated price around R$ 250,000, the Grand Koleos promises to be an interesting option for families that value technology, comfort, and safety. The production of the model will be in Thailand, focused on the Latin American market, and its arrival is expected in 2025.
It’s undeniable that Renault is placing a big bet on the Grand Koleos, and it remains to be seen if the Brazilian market will welcome this new model with open arms. With so many positive attributes, there is a great chance that the Grand Koleos will become one of the favorites among consumers.
