Comparison: Boot space Renault Koleos vs. competitors 2024

How much cargo can handle this medium SUV?

In the world of crossovers and SUVs, if there's one thing that's as essential as a London cab driver knowing The Knowledge, it's having a boot space large enough to fit in all of life's paraphernalia. Enter the Renault Koleos, a vehicle that doesn't just promise you the Earth – it gives you a place to put it too. But how does this boxy beauty stack up in the fiercely competitive SUV market, where boot space is king?

Renault Koleos - How has the boot space changed over the generations?

Let's take a historical jaunt through the annals of the Koleos lineage, shall we? Initially launched in 2008, the first generation of the Koleos (2008-2015) offered a rather decent 450 liters of standard boot space, ballooning to 1380 liters with the rear seats down. Fast forward to the second generation (2017-present), and it's evident that Renault's engineers had a lightbulb moment, boosting the standard boot space to 462 liters and reaching an impressive 1706 liters with the rear seats folded. It's akin to moving from a cozy cottage to a sprawling manor.

The boot space compared to other Renault models

When placed next to its Renault siblings, the Koleos flexes its muscles like a bodybuilder at a yoga class. It might not beat the van-like Renault Espace with its cavernous 581 liters or the surprisingly spacious Renault Arkana at 513 liters, but it does make the Renault Captur (422 liters) and the Megane R.S. (294 liters) look like they're on a diet. However, it's worth noting that classics like the Renault Twizy barely make a blip on the radar with its laughably meager 156 liters of space – although comparing the Koleos to the Twizy is like comparing a sumo wrestler to a ballet dancer.

How does the boot space of the Renault Koleos compare to it's nearest competitors?

But let's pit the Koleos against its external adversaries, where the real battle of the boot spaces commences. Against the likes of the capacious Tesla Model Y (854 liters) and the Cadillac XT5 (850 liters), the Koleos might seem a bit like David without his slingshot. Even the Porsche Cayenne (540 liters) and Genesis GV70 (542 liters) offer more room for your groceries and golf clubs. Yet, it proudly stands its ground against the Toyota bZ4X (452 liters), Mercedes-Benz EQB (495 liters), and even the sleek BMW iX (500 liters), proving that while it might not be the Goliath of the SUV world, it certainly isn't the underdog either.
