'This freshen-up means we can continue to offer a premium mid-size SUV at an attainable price point,' said Renault Australia general manager Glen Sealey.
'We know there is a lot of competition in the mid-size SUV market but our customers appreciate the ease of functionality of our car.
'The cabin controls are familiar and easy to use, and our safety systems are intuitive and not intrusive, all while keeping you safe on the road.
'This update to our flagship model gives buyers a reason to take a closer look and add it to their consideration list in one of the most hotly contested segments of the new-car market.'
The Koleos is among the oldest vehicles in its segment, having entered production in 2016, and Renault still has yet to announce a replacement for Australia.
It's set to continue into 2026, with a 'different vehicle' launching 'maybe' next year. It's unclear if this will be one of Renault's European-market SUVs, such as the Espace, or the Geely-sourced Grand Koleos that's built in Korea like the Koleos.
Despite being almost a decade old, the Koleos is Renault Australia's best-selling model that isn't a van. It has found 424 new homes so far this year, down 29.5 per cent on the same period last year.
Pricing
Drivetrains and Efficiency
The Koleos is closely related to the previous-generation Nissan X-Trail. It's offered with only one engine in Australia.

It requires servicing every 12 months or 30,000km, whichever comes first.

Peugeot, Ram parent posts A$4.1 billion loss, forecasts more tariff trouble
Stellantis, the parent company of Peugeot, Citroen, Opel, Fiat, Jeep, Ram, Dodge and many others, has posted a €2.3 billion (A$4.1 billion) loss for the first half of 2025. In the same period last year, the company €5.6 billion (A$10 billion). The automaker released unaudited financial and vehicle shipment numbers this week ahead of a call with investors at the end of the month. The numbers include €3.3 billion ($5.9 billion) in charges relating to restructuring and cancelled model programs, including its recent axing of hydrogen fuel-cell development, investments in hybrid for Europe, and returning the Hemi V8 to the Ram pickup range.

Camera Icon Supplied Credit: CarExpert In a letter to employees seen by Reuters, CEO Antonio Filosa said 2025 would be 'a year of gradual and sustainable improvement'. He noted the first half of the year was 'tough', and warned there would be 'increasing external headwinds'. According to the company, tariff uncertainty caused by President Trump cost the company around €300 million (A$530 million) in the first half. Doug Ostermann, the automaker's chief financial officer, told analysts and Reuters tariffs are expected to cost the company between €1 and €1.5 billion (A$1.8 to A$2.7 billion) this year. Camera Icon Supplied Credit: CarExpert These figures show new CEO Antonio Filosa has a lot of work to do to right the French-Italian-American automaker. That said, front-loading as much of the bad news and numbers into this half will give the CEO more room to make changes and to paint any upswing in a more positive light. Vehicle shipments — which are cars invoiced to dealers, importers and buyers — dropped 90,000 or 6.0 per cent compared to the same time last year. The biggest fall occurred in North America where shipments dropped 109,000 units or 25 per cent to 322,000 vehicles. Stellantis said this was partially due to reduced manufacturing and imports due to tariff concerns, as well as lower fleet sales. It was keen to point out Jeep and Ram sales were up 13 per cent collectively. In Europe shipments fell 50,000 vehicles or 6.0 per cent to 722,000, with the automaker citing 'product transition' as the reason. It notes that production is still ramping up of the Citroen C3, C3 Aircross, Fiat Grande Panda, and Opel Frontera, which are all based on the Smart Car platform. Camera Icon Supplied Credit: CarExpert Also, the Fiat 500 (above) has lost its Italian sales crown as production of the petrol-powered second-generation model has stopped due to the EU's cybersecurity legislation. Fiat has reworked the third-generation 500, launched as an EV-only model, to accept a mild hybrid drivetrain, but volume production won't begin until next year. Strong growth elsewhere helped to mitigate the losses in Europe and North America. South America, where Stellantis is a market leader, was up 20 per cent to 260,000 cars thanks to demand in Brazil and Argentina. The Middle East and Africa was up 30 per cent to 125,000 units on the back of good numbers in Turkey. Maserati, though, was down 7000 units or 22 per cent to just 2500 vehicle shipments. This will no doubt fuel more rumours about its potential sale.
