Renault Koleos I

The first generation of the Renault Koleos, a five-passenger compact crossover SUV known internally as the HY series. It was unveiled as a concept at the 2006 Paris Motor Show, went on sale at the end of 2007 in South Korea, where Renault Samsung Motors built it at Busan and sold it as the QM5, and reached other markets in 2008. A facelift followed in 2011 and production ended in March 2015. The article records that the car was withdrawn from the United Kingdom in August 2010 after poor sales and that it was sold in India from September 2011 with a 2.0 dCi diesel engine. It is the opening generation of a nameplate that later passed through two further generations.
