Renault Grand Koleos debuts in South Korea as the twin of Geely Xingyue L


Renault has announced their first collaboration with Geely through the introduction of the latest hybrid SUV model Grand Koleos, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea.
There is no direct relation to the existing Koleos; the 2025 Grand Koleos is a rebranded SUV model based on the Geely Xingyue L.
It is not just a mere rebranding process, as Renault has given a distinct identity to this Grand Koleos model.
For instance, it features a more futuristic grille design, revamped LED headlight graphics, more angular quarter window design, along with minor changes to the bumpers and tailgate.
The Renault Grand Koleos measures 4,780 mm in length with a wheelbase stretching up to 2,820 mm, the longest in its class.
Moreover, the five-seater layout allows the Grand Koleos to offer a cargo capacity of 633 liters.
Renault also showcased the premium Esprit Alpine variant featuring blue accents, Alpine badges, 20-inch alloy wheels, complemented by a dark-themed cabin with Alcantara finishes and blue stitching.
All variants come with a setup of three 12.3-inch screens encompassing almost the entire dashboard dimensions.
Sharing the same CMA platform with Volvo XC40 and some Geely and Lynk & Co models, the Renault Grand Koleos also offers similar engine options.
The plug-in hybrid (PHEV) model comes with a 1.5-liter turbo engine paired with two electric motors and a DHT transmission, producing a total output of 245 hp.
There is also a 2.0-liter turbo engine option with a power of up to 208 hp paired with a seven-speed DCT transmission.
The Renault Grand Koleos will go on sale in the Korean market starting this fall.

Someone who loves driving manual cars but prefers riding an automatic scooter. Maybe it's an age thing.
