The Renault Koleos has been a popular choice in the medium SUV segment, known for its comfort and style. As we look at the 2025 model, many potential buyers are curious about its safety credentials. Here's what we currently know about the crash test rating of the 2025 Renault Koleos.
Current ANCAP Status
As of the latest information from the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP):
- Renault Koleos vehicles built from 1 January 2024 onwards are currently UNRATED.
- The five-star ANCAP safety rating applies only to Renault Koleos vehicles built prior to 1 January 2024.
This change in rating status is likely due to updates in ANCAP's testing protocols or changes in the vehicle's specifications.
Previous Safety Performance
While we don't have specific data for the 2025 model, it's worth noting the Koleos' previous safety achievements:
- The previous generation Koleos held a 5-star ANCAP rating.
- In Euro NCAP testing (2017), the Koleos scored:
- 90% for adult occupant protection
- 79% for child occupant protection
- 63% for pedestrian protection
- 75% for safety assist technologies
Expected Safety Features
While we await official crash test results, the 2025 Renault Koleos is expected to come equipped with a range of safety features, including:
- ABS with EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution)
- ESC (Electronic Stability Control) with Hill Start Assist
- Multiple airbags (including front, side, and curtain airbags)
- ISOFIX child seat anchors
- Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)
- Lane Departure Warning
- Blind Spot Monitoring
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
What This Means for Buyers
The lack of a current ANCAP rating for models built from 2024 onwards doesn't necessarily indicate a decrease in safety. It often means that the vehicle hasn't been tested against the latest, more stringent criteria. Renault has a history of prioritizing safety, and it's likely that the 2025 Koleos will maintain high safety standards.
Final Comments
While we await official crash test results for the 2025 Renault Koleos, potential buyers should:
- Stay informed about any upcoming ANCAP test results.
- Consider the vehicle's previous safety record and Renault's commitment to safety.
- Examine the specific safety features offered in the 2025 model.
- Remember that overall vehicle safety depends not just on crash test ratings, but also on driver behavior and road conditions.
As always, when official crash test data becomes available for the 2025 Renault Koleos, it will provide a clearer picture of the vehicle's safety performance.
