Sitting pretty with the upgraded Renault Koleos

The past few years have been good for Renault. Not only has the French manufacturer pretty much updated its entire range with a generally pretty face, if not always new mechanicals, it has also solidified its position as one of the biggest and most successful global brands out there, writes Declan Colley.

The take-overs of Nissan some years ago and, more recently, Mitsubishi, has put Groupe Renault into a position of strength which heretofore it could never even imagined and, under the guiding hand of Carlos Ghosn, led it to become the third largest automobile group worldwide — after VW and Toyota.
