The figures below describe the Koleos 2.5 Dynamique CVT 4x2. Other derivatives in this range differ.

Performance & Dimensions
Engine capacity 2.5 L
noteA 2 488 cm3 naturally aspirated petrol engine - the only powertrain offered in South Africa.
Cylinders 4
noteFour cylinders in line, 16 valves.
Power 126 kW
note126 kW at 6 000 r/min.
Torque 233 Nm
note233 Nm at 4 000 r/min - a naturally aspirated engine, so peak pull arrives high in the rev range.
Transmission X-Tronic CVT
noteRenault's X-Tronic continuously variable transmission; the 4x4 uses the four-wheel-drive version of the same unit.
Gears Not specified
Drivetrain FWD
noteThe entry Dynamique and the Intens are front-wheel drive. Only the top Dynamique 4x4 has all-wheel drive.
Consumption cycle Combined cycle (test standard not stated by manufacturer)
noteQuoted as a combined figure without the test standard being named, alongside separate urban and extra-urban figures.
Fuel consumption 8.1 L/100km
note8.1 l/100 km combined for the front-wheel-drive derivatives; the 4x4 is quoted at 8.3 l/100 km. Urban consumption is 10.4 l/100 km.
Fuel tank 60 L
note60-litre tank.
Fuel grade 95 / 93 unleaded
noteThe engine's minimum requirement is 91 octane, so either grade of South African unleaded suits it.
Range 740 km
noteWorked out from the tank size and the claimed consumption, rounded down.
0-100 km/h 9.5 s
note9.5 seconds for the 4x2; the heavier 4x4 takes 10.7 seconds.
CO2 emissions 188 g/km
note188 g/km for the 4x2; 192 g/km for the 4x4.
Seats 5
noteFive seats; there is no seven-seat Koleos.
Doors 5
noteFive-door SUV body.
Length 4 672 mm
note4 672 mm overall length.
Width 1 813 mm
noteRenault South Africa publishes 1 813 mm. Renault's other markets quote 1 843 mm across the body for the same shell, so treat the SA figure as measured differently.
Height 1 667 mm
noteRenault South Africa publishes 1 667 mm. Renault's other markets quote 1 678 mm, a difference most likely down to roof-bar fitment or loading state.
Wheelbase 2 704 mm
note2 704 mm between the axles; front track 1 591 mm, rear track 1 586 mm.
Ground clearance 210 mm

Boot (seats folded) 1 690 L
noteAbout 1 690 litres with the rear seats folded.
Kerb weight 1 427 kg

Gross vehicle mass 2 099 kg
note2 099 kg gross vehicle mass on the 4x2; 2 168 kg on the 4x4.
Payload 672 kg
noteAbout 672 kg of payload on the two-wheel-drive derivative, worked out from the quoted unladen and gross masses.

Towing (unbraked) 714 kg
note714 kg unbraked on the 4x2; 748 kg on the 4x4. Both are half the kerb mass, as the regulation requires.
