The Renault Koleos is a compact crossover SUV manufactured by the French carmaker Renault. It is produced mainly at the Busan plant of Renault Samsung Motors. It was first presented as a concept car at the Geneva Motor Show in 2000, and then as a production model in 2006 at the Paris Motor Show.
The second generation of the Koleos was unveiled at the 2016 Beijing Motor Show, and uses the Renault–Nissan CMF-CD modular platform shared with the Nissan X-Trail/Rogue (T32) and Renault Kadjar. It was an addition to the Renault compact SUV market, after selling the Scénic RX4 and the Kangoo, but it had never produced a true crossover SUV.
The Koleos' body design was based on the Renault Koleos and Renault Egeus concept cars. It was awarded five stars by ADAC of Germany 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In August 2010, the Koleos was withdrawn from the United Kingdom due to poor sales of under 2,600 units.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. In South Korea, the Koleos was sold as the Renault Samsung QM5 (H45).
In India, Renault introduced the Koleos on 8 September 2011.
