By Ganesh

The Koleos premium SUV is not the most popular model in India, but Renault is not giving up just now. The automaker is set to launch the new facelifted version of the Koleos at the 2014 Auto Expo, which sports the new company grille design. The facelifted version will also come for the first time in a two wheel drive variant, which will be far more affordable.

Renault, which was the main sponsor for the recently concluded Star Guild Awards, took the opportunity to reveal the facelifted Koleos on stage in front of the large crowd consisting of Bollywood bigwigs and other industry personalities, many of whom could be considered potential customers.
