2008 Renault Koleos
Demonstrating that its initial compact 4x4 does not only have style by also substance, the recently inaugurated Renault Koleos has garnered a number of titles at Planet 4x4 publication's 2008 awards, as well as the '4x4 of the Year' award. Driving off tough rivals from 47 hardy contenders, as well as long-time favorites like the Land Rover Discovery and Range Rover, the French brand's initial incursion into the 4x4 arena succeeded at the onset over the Honda CR-V, recently-inaugurated Ford Kuga and Vw Tiguan to attain the 'Compact SUV' designation, prior to winning the 'Best Newcomer' and the general '4x4 of the Year'. The excellent synthesis of Koleos' on- and off-road capability, joined with significant adaptability via its split tailgate, detachable center console storage unit and 'Super-fold' rear seat system, besides its high equipment levels, create quality and lasting values, motivated the testers of Planet 4x4 to say with enthusiasm, its breadth of talents is vastly impressive. It's excellent to drive in all conditions, and its convenience and usability put almost every other SUV in the shade."
