"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. 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. The Koleos is closely related to the previous-generation Nissan X-Trail. It's offered with only one engine in Australia. The Renault Koleos is backed by a seven-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty. It requires servicing every 12 months or 30,000km, whichever comes first. The first five services are capped at $429, $429, $429, $999 and $429, respectively, resulting in a total five-year servicing cost of $2715. The Renault Koleos is currently unrated by safety authority ANCAP, as its five-star rating from 2017 expired on December 31, 2023. Standard safety equipment across the range includes: No Koleos is available with increasingly common active safety and driver assist features such as lane-keep assist or adaptive cruise control. There are two trim levels in the 2025 Koleos lineup. The base Evolution comes standard with the following equipment: The Techno adds: All 2025 Koleos models come standard with a black interior.

2025 Renault Duster price and specs

Renault is having another crack at the small SUV segment with something it believes will be quite unique in its segment. The 2025 Renault Duster – sold under Renault's budget Dacia brand in Europe – is available to order now, ahead of showroom arrivals commencing later this month. The Duster has a rather unusual lineup for a small SUV in Australia in 2025. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. The base powertrain is a turbocharged 1.3-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, mated with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. That's not that unusual, but if you want all-wheel drive you have to drop down to a 1.2-litre mild-hybrid turbo-petrol three-pot with less power and torque, and this is offered exclusively with a six-speed manual. All-wheel drive variants also swap the torsion-beam rear suspension of front-wheel drive variants for a multi-link setup. Both powertrains are offered in both Evolution and Techno trim levels, though the Techno 4×4 isn't due to arrive locally until December 2025. The range opens with the Evolution 4×2, priced at $31,990 before on-road costs or $34,990 drive-away for a limited time. While it shares its platform with cars like the Renault Clio, as well as crossover SUVs like the Captur and Nissan Juke, Renault says the Duster has 'tall suspension and generous off-road clearance angles'. 'Customer demand for adventure vehicles in Australia remains strong, and Renault Duster reflects this lifestyle,' said Renault Australia general manager Glen Sealey. 'Its compact dimensions make it easy to park in tight spots in the city and suburbs, and its tall ground clearance and intelligent traction control systems make it easy to manoeuvre in a range of off-road conditions. 'Whether customers choose the 4×2 or 4×4 version, the other advantage of Renault Duster's tall suspension is the comfort it delivers over bumps and thumps on suburban roads.' It will also be offered with 'a range of genuine and locally sourced accessories to appeal to buyers with a sense of adventure', though Renault hasn't published a list of these yet. It has, however, revealed a Duster featuring a Rhino Rack roof platform. All Dusters come standard with YouClip attachment points, allowing you to affix items like torches and cupholders throughout the cabin. Renault cautions the Duster will initially arrive in 'limited numbers' due to strong European demand, so Australia will receive an initial allocation before shipments ramp up next year. 'We ordered as many cars as we could this year, and we are now working closely with the factory to improve our allocation moving forward,' said Mr Sealey. Pricing Drivetrains and Efficiency There are two powertrains on offer. The 1.2-litre also features a mild-hybrid system and automatic idle stop/start, while the all-wheel drive system brings with it a hill descent control feature plus terrain drive modes. Dimensions External dimensions are the same across the range, though the all-wheel drive variants have greater ground clearance and slightly less boot space. Servicing and Warranty The Renault Duster is backed by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty. Servicing is required every 12 months or 30,000km, whichever comes first. Renault Australia has yet to announce any capped-price servicing details. Safety The Renault Duster has yet to be tested by ANCAP, though the European-market Dacia Duster received a three-star safety rating from sister authority Euro NCAP based on testing conducted in 2024. It has yet to be confirmed whether ANCAP will also apply a three-star rating for Australia. Standard safety equipment across the range includes: Autonomous emergency braking Pedestrian detection Cyclist detection Driver attention alert Lane-keep assist Traffic sign recognition Front and front-side airbags Curtain airbags for both rows Reversing camera Rear parking sensors The Techno adds: Blind-spot monitoring Multi-view camera Front parking sensors Standard Equipment There are two trim levels in the Duster lineup. Standard equipment for the Evolution includes: 17-inch diamond-cut 'Adventure' alloy wheels Continental Cross Contact 215/65 R17 tyres Spare tyre (215/70 R16) Rain-sensing wipers Automatic LED headlights with halogen high-beam Rear fog light Grey door mirrors Fixed roof rails Electric parking brake 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system Wireless and wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto DAB digital radio Wireless phone charger 2 x front USB-C outlets 2 x rear USB-C outlets 1 x front 12V outlet 1 x boot 12V outlet 6-speaker Arkamys sound system Cruise control and speed limiter Dual-zone climate control with rear air vents Leather-wrapped steering wheel Height and reach adjustable steering wheel Power windows with one-touch auto up/down YouClip accessory points: 1 x rear centre console, 2 x boot, 1 x inside of tailgate Remote central locking The Techno adds: 18-inch diamond-cut 'Exploration' alloy wheels Continental Cross Contact 215/60 R18 tyres Rear privacy glass Automatic high-beam Smart key card Proximity entry with automatic walk away door locking, approach unlocking 'Premium' cloth upholstery Keyless start Split-level boot floor (4×2 only) Additional YouClip accessory point: Dashboard, right of infotainment screen Modular roof rails Colours Solid White exterior paint is standard, with the following metallic and premium finishes costing an extra $750: Solid White (no extra cost) Cedar Green Sandstone Terracotta Shadow Grey Khaki Green Pearlescent Black All Dusters have black and grey cloth upholstery.
