Renault Koleos 2013 vs Subaru XV 2012
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 2.0 Diesel | 2.0 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Renault Koleos) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Subaru XV) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||
| Camshaft drive: | Timing chain | Timing belt | |
| Engine chain usually needs to be replaced less often than the timing belt, but the cost of replacing the chain is usually higher. Chain motors are considered to be more reliable, but noisier and more vibration generating. | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 173 HP | 150 HP | |
| Torque: | 360 NM | 196 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 11.9 seconds | 10.7 seconds | |
| Renault Koleos engine produces 23 HP more power than Subaru XV, whereas torque is 164 NM more than Subaru XV. Despite the higher power, Renault Koleos reaches 100 km/h speed 1.2 seconds later. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 7.1 | 6.6 | |
| Real fuel consumption: | 8.2 l/100km | 8.0 l/100km | |
|
The Subaru XV is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. By specification Renault Koleos consumes 0.5 litres more fuel per 100 km than the Subaru XV, which means that if you drive 15,000 km in a year, the Renault Koleos could require 75 litres more fuel. By comparing actual fuel consumption based on user reports, Renault Koleos consumes 0.2 litres more fuel per 100 km than the Subaru XV. | |||

Engines | |||
| Engine production duration: | 14 years | 16 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 10 other car models, including Nissan X-Trail, Nissan Qashqai, Renault Laguna, Renault Scenic, Opel Vivaro | Installed on at least 3 other car models, including Subaru Forester, Subaru Impreza, Subaru Legacy | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Renault Koleos might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | yes | no | |
| The Renault Koleos engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
| Renault Koleos 2013 2.0 engine: The engine has a good power to fuel consumption ratio and, with careful maintenance, a long service life. The most common problems with these engines are with the fuel injection system and lubrication. | |||
