There’s Fresh News in the Hybrid Car Scene: The Renault Grand Koleos Will Be the Brand’s First Hybrid to Launch in Brazil. And What’s Better, It Arrives Ready to Compete Strongly in the Mid-SUV Market. Let’s Check Out All the Details of This New Item?

The Renault Grand Koleos is a project originating from a partnership between Renault and Geely, the owner of Volvo. The medium-large SUV is actually a Xingyue L or Monjaro, a model sold by Geely in China. It has undergone some adaptations to carry the Renault brand, but most of the components are shared with the original Chinese model.

The launch in Asia is scheduled for the second half of this year, and it is expected to arrive in Brazil in the first half of 2025, imported directly from South Korea. The Grand Koleos will always be in full hybrid (HEV) configuration, without external charging, and it brings a powerful hybrid engine with 245 hp that promises to achieve up to 23 km/l.

DNA and Platform of the Renault Grand Koleos

Although it carries the Renault brand, the Grand Koleos does not feature design elements from the French marque. It is based on the CMA platform, the same as the Volvo XC40. Geely, which is also the owner of Volvo, is establishing itself in Brazil through multiple fronts, including Volvo itself, the electric brand Zeekr, Polestar, and now the Renault Grand Koleos.

Dimensions and Performance

The Renault Grand Koleos is 4.78 meters long and has a 2.84-meter wheelbase, comparable in size to the Toyota SW4, but with a cabin that always seats five. The hybrid engine is gasoline-powered, with front-wheel drive, and consists of a 1.5 turbo three-cylinder engine with a Miller cycle, generating 150 hp and 22.9 kgfm of torque. This engine is combined with two electric motors, one generator producing 82 hp and another traction motor with 136 hp, totaling 245 hp of combined power and a maximum torque of 32.6 kgfm.

The lithium-ion battery pack, of the NMC (nickel-manganese-cobalt) type, has a capacity of 1.62 kWh, allowing for a few kilometers of driving in 100% electric mode. The transmission, referred to by Renault as multimode, is of the DHT type, similar to that of the Caoa Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Hybrid, with three physical gears and electric system filling the ratios.

Cutting-edge Technology

The new Renault Grand Koleos comes with a series of cutting-edge technologies. It features three massive 12.3-inch digital screens, one for the instrument cluster and two for the multimedia center, with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay wireless. Additionally, there is a head-up display with augmented reality.

The ADAS package of semi-autonomous assistance includes emergency autonomous braking, adaptive cruise control (ACC), lane-keeping assist, autonomous parking assist, and an internal monitoring camera. Other highlights include 20-inch alloy wheels, Nappa leather and Alcantara upholstery, automatic climate control with three climate zones, 5G internet connectivity, voice assistant with colloquial language understanding, and a Bose sound system with ten speakers.

Expectations for Brazil

The big question now is whether Renault will bring the most complete version of the Grand Koleos to Brazil. Prices are expected to be around R$ 250 thousand, and with all these features, the SUV promises to be an interesting choice for those seeking a high-performance hybrid vehicle with cutting-edge technology.

The Renault Grand Koleos arrives to mark Renault’s debut in the hybrid market in Brazil with style and plenty of technology. With a powerful engine, excellent fuel consumption, and a series of modern features, it has everything to stand out in the competitive mid-SUV market. So, are you excited about this news?
