An all-new Koleos due to arrive in the UK in the summer made its European debut at the Paris Motor Show this morning.

It had been unveiled at the Beijing show.

The Koleos is meant to round out Renault’s high-end model range by blending “the rugged style of an SUV with the elegant refinement of a large saloon”.

Standard equipment is shared with other high-end Renault models, such as the R-Link 2 multimedia tablet.

Also displayed at Paris is the top of the range Initiale Paris, on sale in spring.

“With the Initiale Paris signature, the new Koleos establishes itself as one of Renault’s highest-end models. It offers the ultimate in Renault in-car comfort and services, while maintaining the new Koleos’ intrinsic qualities of robustness and practicality,” said Philippe Brunet, Renault D/E segment programme director.
