Renault Korea’s Grand Koleos shines in alleys, on mountain roads

For decades, French vehicles have earned recognition for their ability to absorb minor road imperfections with ease while maintaining smooth and confident cornering.

The need to maneuver through narrow urban streets and navigate sharp bends on mountainous roads led French automakers to develop suspension systems that focused on ride comfort and balanced handling.

The narrow, winding streets of Paris and the twisting mountain roads of the Alps and Pyrenees have long demanded agility, composure and refinement from French automobiles — characteristics that have become hallmarks of the country’s automotive engineering.

This driving philosophy became deeply embedded in the engineering of Renault, one of France’s most iconic carmakers, and that heritage is clearly evident in Renault Korea’s Grand Koleos.

The SUV features optimized front and rear suspension systems, allowing it to absorb impact from uneven road surfaces while maintaining a stable posture during sudden directional changes.
