Matt Campbell drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Still stylish after all these years
- Practical cabin space and useability
- No annoying safety technology
Misses
- Missing some features due to its age
- Not lots of fun to drive
- Some weird cabin controls
Colours Available
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.
