Our most recent review of the 2019 Renault Koleos resulted in a score of 7.5 out of 10 for that particular example.
Carsguide Family reviewer Nedahl Stelio had this to say at the time: I was quite happy driving the Renault Koleos Zen this week. It's stylish and a bit different to other cars on the road, which is a nice thing. It has a good amount of interior room and enough boot space for my family of four, plus it drives smoothly and effortlessly.

The 2019 Renault Koleos carries a braked towing capacity of up to 2000 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Renault Koleos 2019 prices range from $13,090 for the basic trim level SUV Life X-Tronic (4X2) to $27,830 for the top of the range SUV Formula Edition.
It somewhat depends on which model Koleos we’re talking about. For some strange reason, both the two-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive versions of the Koleos have the same towing capacity. Even stranger is the fact that the much torquier turbo-diesel version of the 2018 Renault has a lower towing limit than the petrol-engined version with its peakier powerplant.
So, on that basis, the turbo-diesel Koleos has a 1650kg braked trailer towing limit. Which neatly rules it out. The petrol version meanwhile, can legally tow 2000kg so theoretically, you could use it to tow an 1800kg caravan. In reality, though, the petrol Koleos won’t do so effortlessly or (as you’ve described it) easily. In fact, it’ll be just about at the limit in terms of its performance and braking and the CVT transmission will really be earning its keep on hills. To be honest, there are better choices for this type of use.

It’s not something I’ve heard of, to be honest, but there are really only a handful of ways to get wet carpet. The first is that the windscreen or side glass is leaking and allowing water in. The other chance is that there’s a rubber bung or seal missing from the floorpan that is allowing water splashed up under the car to dampen the carpet. I’ve even seen worn or damaged door seals allow rainwater to be sucked into a car on the move.
The first thing I’d check would be the condition of the door and window seals and make sure there’s nothing stuck to them. Even a tiny twig or piece of leaf-litter can break the seal and allow water in overnight.
If it’s none of those things, then you have to start looking at possibilities such as a leak from the heater matrix. This is a serious hassle as often the whole dashboard has to be removed to replace the matrix. But your car should still be under factory warranty, so I reckon it’s back to the dealership and an in-depth look at what’s going on. Don’t forget, too, that even though the water is pooling in the passenger’s footwell, it could be entering the car elsewhere.

I contacted Renault Australia about this, Trevor. But it seems they need to know the trim level and precise model before they can offer an answer. Apparently, different specifications across the Koleos range meant that some variants had a different clock in a different dashboard which required a different technique to reset. Have you asked at a dealership?

The Renault Koleos has quite a unique interior for its segment. As these images show, its dashboard is bisected by a vertical touchsreen multimedia system surrounded by a combination of touch-sensitive and physical buttons, as well as black trim. Want leather? It's there, too; even on the centre console's hand grips.
The following Renault Koleos is available with five seats, including 60:40 split fold rear seats. Intens is available with Nappa leather upholstery in a choice of sand grey or black.
