Hits
- Still stylish after all these years

Misses
- Missing some features due to its age
- Not lots of fun to drive
- Some weird cabin controls
Colours Available
- Sloane Silver Metallic
- Diamond Red Metallic
- Regal Blue Metallic
- Dover White

The Koleos range is available in just four colours: Millesim Red, Metallic White, Metallic Grey and Metallic Black. Unusually, the red is a no-cost option, while the monochromatic shades are an extra $800.
