The 2025 Renault Koleos now starts at $34,990 before on-road costs with a new entry-level model grade as part of a revised two-tier lineup.
The Koleos Evolution 4×2 is the new starting point for the mid-size five-seat SUV range, priced from $34,990 before on-road costs, replacing the previous Koleos Zen model grade which was $42,500 drive-away.
The Evolution 4×2 is also offered with region-based drive-away pricing which starts at a low of $37,992 drive-away in Queensland and a peak of $38,712 in Victoria.
This makes the Koleos cheaper than the Nissan X-Trail SUV it’s somewhat related to – another rival for the Volkswagen Tiguan and Mazda CX-5 – which starts at $38,025 before on-road costs for the five-seat 2.5 ST 2WD model grade.

The Zen took over from the Koleos Life as the cheapest Koleos in 2024, which was $37,500 before on-road costs – making the new Evolution model grade even more affordable.
Exclusively front-wheel drive, the Evolution is powered by the same 126kW/226Nm naturally aspirated 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) as the rest of the Koleos range.
Standard equipment appears to match the previous Koleos Zen 4×2 and includes 18-inch alloy wheels, black leather upholstery, and heated, power-adjustable front seats.
It also has a hands-free power tailgate and ‘easy park’ automatic parking system, while the cabin includes an 8.7-inch portrait-oriented infotainment touchscreen with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity.
The Evolution 4×2 sits below the Koleos Intens 4×2 and Intens 4×4, for which nationwide drive-away prices of $39,990 and $42,490, respectively, were announced in April for 2024 model year stock.
This sharper pricing is being offered until June 30, 2025.
The Koleos is backed by a seven-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty.
The current-generation SUV has been on sale since 2016 – which means its five-star ANCAP rating has officially expired – and is likely to be replaced in Australia sometime in 2026.
Koleos sales have fallen by 43.9 per cent in the first four months of 2025, but it remains the brand’s best-selling passenger vehicle ahead of the Megane E-Tech hatchback and Arkana small SUV.
