William Stopford drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Seemingly endless customisation
- Adroit handling
- Rapid pace
Misses
- A V8 is a drug that's hard to quit
- Not cheap to buy or service
- Some naff interior details
Colours Available
The Koleos range is available in just four colours: Millesim Red, Universal White, Metallic Grey and Metallic Black. Unusually, the red is a no-cost option, while the monochromatic shades are an extra $800.
