A spacious interior and tempting used prices stand in the Renault Koleos' favour but does it make more sense than the sportier Mazda CX-5? We decide
. Although the CX-5 is a bit smaller, it’s still seriously roomy inside and packs more power from a 2.2-litre diesel engine.
Meanwhile, the Koleos’s motor feels flat at low revs and quickly runs out of puff above 4000rpm. This forces you to change gear frequently to keep the engine revving in its sweet spot. To make matters worse, the gearshift has a long and vague action, whereas the CX-5’s has slicker, shorter and more satisfying throws.
Not that the CX-5 is perfect when you’re ambling along. Its suspension is quite firm and you feel more road imperfections than you do in the Koleos. That said, any ruts and bumps are dealt with quickly and there’s no crashing, thumping or bouncing.
