The third generation is marketed as the Renault Grand Koleos and moved to the Compact Modular Architecture platform developed by Geely.

The range of engines:[10] A second generation of the Koleos was introduced at the 2016 Beijing Motor Show, by Renault's chief Carlos Ghosn.

[14][15][16] 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 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.

[21] 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.

[24] In 2024, Renault Korea rebranded itself, and replaced the Eye of the Typhoon emblem with the new losange logo on the QM6.

[29] Production in Renault Korea's plant in Busan is claimed to be supported by 200 local suppliers.

[31] The model is larger than its predecessor, with Renault claiming a "class-leading" legroom for rear-seat passengers, and up to 2,034 litres of boot space with the rear seats folded.

Notable equipment include a 10-speaker Bose sound system, 25.6-inch augmented reality head-up display and 5G connectivity.

[32] For the South Korean market, three trims are available: Techno, Iconic, and the four-wheel drive (4WD) Esprit Alpine.
