Renault has unveiled the 2012 Koleos Bose Edition.

Based on the Carminat trim package, the model is distinguished by faux aluminum mirrors, tinted rear windows and unique 17-inch alloy wheels.

Inside, there's special seat upholstery, black lacquer trim, aluminum sill plates and the obligatory Bose audio system with seven speakers and a subwoofer.

Power comes from a 2.0 dCi 150 engine that produces 150 PS (110 kW / 148 hp) and 320 Nm (236 lb-ft) of torque. It can be paired to a six-speed manual or automatic transmission as well as an optional four-wheel drive system.

The model will be launched in March and pricing starts at €29,400 in France.

Koleos takes front stage once again with the release of a new 'Bose® Edition' version

  • Early 2012 will see the New Renault Koleos range extended with the introduction of a limited edition Bose® Edition version.
  • In addition to a Bose® audio system that has been tailor-engineered to match the properties of Koleos' cabin, the new version will feature specific exterior styling and interior appointments.
  • The Bose® Edition version of the Phase 1 Koleos proved extremely successful, accounting for almost 30 percent of the model's sales in 2011 across Europe.
  • Prices for New Renault Koleos Bose® Edition start from €29,400 in France. Order books open in January 2012.

Available in some 20 countries worldwide, the initial Bose® Edition limited edition version of the model accounted for almost 30 percent of Phase 1 Koleos' sales across Europe in 2011. This popularity did not only concern Koleos, however, since Mégane and Laguna have both also benefited from the innovative partnership Renault enjoys with Bose®.

To build on this success, this limited edition has been carried over to New Renault Koleos and is poised to appear in Renault's French showrooms next March. Its return is seen as an opportunity to pursue the positive dynamic which followed the launch of New Koleos in September.

New Renault Koleos Bose® Edition is positioned as an attractive core-range version, which combines the refined listening pleasure delivered by Bose® Premium sound, with modern, distinctive styling. Based on the Carminat equipment level, it is powered by the reliable and highly efficient 2.0 dCi 150 engine which can be mated to one of three types of transmission: six-speed manual/front-wheel drive, six-speed manual/4x4 or six-speed automatic/4x4.


Koleos Bose® Edition's appeal has been further enhanced thanks to the incorporation of a number of specific styling details, including:

- aluminium-coloured door mirror housings,
- extra-tinted rear glass,
- coloured 17-inch alloy wheels,
- and Black Lacquer interior trim details, plus mixed black fabric upholstery.
