The Renault Koleos is a compact SUV (J) which was first presented as a concept car at the Geneva Motor Show in 2000, and then again in 2006 at the Mondial de l'Automobile in Paris. The first-generation Koleos was designed by Renault and developed by Nissan, with the majority of the production coming from the Busan plant of Renault Samsung Motors.
Facelifted versions of the Koleos were available in October 2011 and June 2013. A second generation was unveiled at the 2016 Beijing Motor Show, and uses the Renault-Nissan Common Module Family (CMF-CD) modular platform.
The Koleos was an addition to the Renault compact SUV market, after selling the Scénic RX4 and the Kangoo, but it has never produced a true crossover SUV. A Koleos concept car was shown in the media as long ago as February 2000.
The Koleos's body design was based on the Renault Koleos and Renault Egeus concept cars. Some of the Koleos's competitors, such as the Citroën C-Crosser and the Peugeot 4007, were also presented by the time it was launched. ADAC of Germany awarded five stars to the Koleos, in a crash test done in August 2008. A facelifted Koleos was unvelieved 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In August 2010, the Koleos was withdrawn from the United Kingdom, due to poor sales of under 2,600 units.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 Europe in March 2015.
For the South Korean market, the Koleos is manufactured by Renault Samsung Motors (a subsidiary of Renault) at its Busan plant in South Korea and is sold as the Renault Samsung QM5 (H45).
