The 2025 Renault Koleos now starts at $34,990 before on-road costs with a new entry-level model grade as part of a revised two-tier lineup.

The Koleos Evolution 4×2 is the new starting point for the mid-size five-seat SUV range, priced from $34,990 before on-road costs, replacing the previous Koleos Zen model grade which was $42,500 drive-away. 

The Evolution 4×2 is also offered with region-based drive-away pricing which starts at a low of $37,992 drive-away in Queensland and a peak of $38,712 in Victoria.

This makes the Koleos cheaper than the Nissan X-Trail SUV it’s somewhat related to – another rival for the Volkswagen Tiguan and Mazda CX-5 – which starts at $38,025 before on-road costs for the five-seat 2.5 ST 2WD model grade.

The Zen took over from the Koleos Life as the cheapest Koleos in 2024, which was $37,500 before on-road costs – making the new Evolution model grade even more affordable.

Exclusively front-wheel drive, the Evolution is powered by the same 126kW/226Nm naturally aspirated 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) as the rest of the Koleos range. 

Standard equipment appears to match the previous Koleos Zen 4×2 and includes 18-inch alloy wheels, black leather upholstery, and heated, power-adjustable front seats. 

It also has a hands-free power tailgate and ‘easy park’ automatic parking system, while the cabin includes an 8.7-inch portrait-oriented infotainment touchscreen with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity.
