With the new Renault Grand Koleos, the French automobile manufacturer Renault has entered the Middle East’s premium SUV market. After a successful launch in Saudi Arabia, Renault will debut its Grand Koleos SUV in the UAE by June 2025. The automaker has already commenced the bookings for this model.
Renault Grand Koleos made its regional debut in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, in May 2025. The premium SUV is expected to arrive in the UAE by June this year. Koleos is confirmed to be available in three variants where the entry-level variant will be priced at AED 117,000, while the mid and top-spec variants will be priced at AED 127,000 and AED 137,000, respectively.
The 2026 Koleos SUV features a bold and premium exterior design with a blend of French styling and modern design proportions. The front profile gets a wide grille with integrated LED light strips and shape headlamps.
The sculpted bonnet and 20-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels reinforce its commanding road presence. Renault has offered a sleek roofline and strong shoulder lines for a more SUV-like silhouette. Additional highlights include wraparound LED taillamps with connected light bars, chrome accents, and dual exhaust tips.
Renault has focused on space, comfort, and luxury materials inside the cabin, ensuring one of the most spacious interiors in its segment, particularly for rear-seat passengers. It also features premium soft-touch surfaces and brushed metal inserts. The leather upholstery with contrast stitching, ambient lighting, panoramic sunroof with electric sunshade, and comfortable rear seats with reclining function further elevate the interior.
For tech features, the 2026 Grand Koleos has a triple 12.3-inch OpenR digital display setup, a 25.6-inch augmented reality head-up display, 5G connectivity, and over-the-air updates. The Renault SUV also sports a 10-speaker Bose sound system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, tri-zone climate control, and a hands-free power tailgate.
