Despite a wide-ranging rumour that the latest Renault SUV would be called the Maxthon, the company has instead decided to reinstate the name Koleos. The larger second-generation Koleos uses the Common Module Family (CMF-CD) modular platform developed jointly by Renault and Nissan, and already used on similar vehicles as the third-generation Nissan X-Trail and the Renault Kadjar. In some versions, the car has three drivetrain options: two-wheel drive, four-wheel drive mode that adapts power, torque distribution between axles to improve traction, and a standard four-wheel drive. As standard, the car has a seven-inch touchscreen, while higher trim levels have an infotainment system with an 8.7 inch touchscreen (called R Link 2). Gearboxes are manual and automatic. The new Koleos first went on sale in Australia on 1 August 2016 and has been rolled out in most of Asia, Europe, and South America by the middle of 2017. The facelift of 2020 arrived in Mexico in the end of October 2019. The SUV was scheduled to be shown at the 2020 Manila International Auto Show on April 2, 2020, by Renault Samsung Motors as the QM6. It was discontinued in the United Kingdom in July 2020 due to sluggish sales, three years after it was reintroduced to the British market and ten years after the original model ended UK sales. Outside of South Korea, it is replaced in 2023 by the sixth-generation Renault Espace. The production of the vehicle ceased in April 2023, except for the South Korean, Australian, African, South American to Mexican market where it was given a minor facelift. In 2024, Renault Korea rebranded itself, and replaced the Eye of the Typhoon emblem with the new losange logo on the QM6. The model is now known as the Renault QM6 and comes exclusively with the 2.0L M5R engine in either gasoline or LNG forms.
