Renault will be launching its first 4x4 SUV crossover, the Koleos, this year and the new model will make its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month.

The Renault-designed and Nissan developed model will go on sale in the UK in July.

The Kaleos will come with one diesel engine in two tune options from launch, a 2.0-diesel with 148bhp or 173bhp.

More details on pricing and specification will surface nearer the Kaleos’s launch in the summer.
