Renault Koleos SUV 2017 pictures

The Renault Koleos SUV is a flagship model for the French brand, sitting above the Renault Kadjar

The Koleos is a rival to models like the Skoda Kodiaq, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento and Ford Edge

The Koleos shares some parts with the Nissan X-Trail, but has been thoroughly reworked to offer customers something different

Power comes from either a 1.6-litre diesel with 129bhp or a 2.0-litre diesel offering 173bhp

The 1.6-litre offers fuel economy of up to 57.6mpg, while the 2.0-litre can return a maximum of 50.4mpg

Choose the smaller engine and the Koleos is front-wheel-drive, while the 2.0-litre gets four-wheel-drive as standard

A neat design and soft-touch materials help give the Koleos one of the best interiors of any Renault so far

The Signature Nav trim benefits from an attractive portrait 8.7-inch touchscreen

The Koleos can also take the stress out of parking by doing it for you autonomously

A large panoramic roof fills the interior with light and gives a good view out for rear passengers

Rear head and legroom should be plentiful, even for taller adults

The lack of a third row of seats boosts luggage volume

The top trim level adds a powered tailgate, which can open automatically if you wave your foot under the back bumper

Emissions as low as 128g/km of CO2 make the Koleos quite affordable for company-car drivers

A smooth ride and a lack of excessive engine or wind noise helps keep occupants comfortable
