The Renault Koleos Crossover, which will be available in both the petrol and diesel version, is a soft roader with both manual and automatic transmission options. Though the Renault Koleos Crossover Price in India is yet to be out, but keeping in view the same segment cars, it is likely that Renault India would price it somewhere around Rs16-20 Lakhs.

Besides the Renault Koleos Crossover, Renault Duster which is a five-seater SUV would be the second in the launch series and is expected to be priced at Rs7-9 lakh. Once launched, the Renault Duster will certainly creep into the SUV market that is presently under the domination of Mahindra and Tata SUVs such as Mahindra Bolero, Mahindra Xylo and Tata Safari besides others.
