Renault’s new crossover 4x4, the Koleos, will make its debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month.

Designed to offer the space of a compact MPV and the comfort of a hatchback, the car will go on sale in the UK early in the summer.

A result of close collaboration between Renault and its Japanese partner Nissan, the Koleos will be built in Korea and represents a push by Renault into a sector it hasn’t traditionally been a part of.

More details, such as pricing and specification, will be announced nearer to launch.
