The second of three Renault Koleos variants, the Zen is available from $35,490 for the front-wheel drive 2.5-litre petrol and $37,990 for the all-wheel drive, again with the 2.5-litre petrol. Both versions use Nissan's CVT to get the power to the wheels.
The Zen features 18-inch alloys, an eight-speaker stereo, dual-zone climate control, cruise control, remote central locking, reversing camera, front and rear parking sensors, auto headlights and wipers, cornering lamps, cloth trim, power windows, keyless entry and start, heated and cooled front cupholders, electric driver's seat, sat nav, heated front seats, fake leather seats, electric parking brake and roof rails, heated and powered rear vision mirrors, sunroof and a space-saver spare.
The Koleos has a good basic safety package, with six airbags, ABS, stability and traction controls, brake force distribution, forward AEB, reversing camera, forward collision warning and lane departure warning. There are two ISOFIX points and three top-tether restraints.
The Zen adds blind spot warning and lane departure warning to the list.
Since its 2016 introduction, ANCAP has not got around to crash testing the Koleos. EuroNCAP has and awarded a five star rating in September 2017. Curiously, ANCAP has not recipocrated with the same rating as it has done in the past, which is confusing.
