The new Koleos and Kardian embody Renault’s global reputation for design excellence and engineering innovation, tailored to meet the evolving needs of Nigerian drivers.in addition in his words, “Coscharis is super excited to deliver these two new variants from our Renault brand to the Nigerian market at this time of the year where both private and public sector players can end the year with a purchase of a brand new vehicle. Likewise a great opportunity for potential fleet buyers working on their 2026 procurement budget to put the new vehicles in their purchasing plans. Coscharis as usual with the great support of our Renault partner will equally deliver the ‘peace of mind’ on every purchase of any of our Renault variants with a 3 year Warranty, original Parts that will be fixed with the right tools by certified Renault technicians. The beauty of our total package also comes with the availability of a robust finance scheme by Coscharis Mobility which is one of our sister firm within our group that make the purchase financially friendly”.

One of the highlights of the event was the exclusive test-drive tour of the newly launched models by the DG of NADDC who took the vehicles on a performance drive within the exhibition ground. The DG expressed admiration for the vehicles, noting that he wasin awe of their powerful performances, refined engineering and impressive handling.His firsthand experience underscored Renault’s commitment to delivering vehicles that combine durability, advanced technology and comfort tailored for Nigerian terrain. According to him, “the two Renault vehicles are well balanced, smooth and delivers an enjoyable drive within the short time I drove the vehicles. I commend both Coscharis and their partner, Renault for these two new additions into their portfolio for Nigerians to enjoy a good ride with a reliable brand like Renault. However, my wish as the DG of NADDC which I know Coscharis has been a great supporter and player in the Nigerian market is that these two new models will be added to the existing models to be locally assembled in their ultra – modern assembly plant in Lagos. By this feat, Nigerians can be able to own the vehicles at a cheaper price and hereby improve local content for our automotive sector to support the government efforts in that line”.

In her presentation to the audience, she said the Renault Koleos is a refined mid-size SUV, blends premium comfort, advanced driver-assist technologies, robust performance, and an elegant presence fit for both urban and off-road terrains.
