The range continues to open with the base Life at $37,500 before on-road costs and extends to $48,500 before on-road costs for the Intens 4×4.
The Renault Koleos rivals the likes of the more popular Toyota RAV4, Mitsubishi Outlander, Mazda CX-5, Kia Sportage, and the Hyundai Tucson.
With 2605 examples sold to the end of October, the Koleos is far behind those models but is outselling the moribund Ford Escape (2133 sales), as well as the Peugeot 3008 (510 sales) and Skoda Karoq (1219 sales).
Renault confirmed earlier this year the Koleos faces an uncertain future.
"[The] Koleos continues as is, product run this and next year and after that we don't know," said Renault Australia boss Glen Sealey.
