Leaked image reveals 2017 Renault Koleos SUV

An image revealing the new Renault Koleos SUV has appeared online, ahead of the model's expected debut at next week's Beijing motor show. 

Although no details accompany the image, it is already known that under the Renault-Nissan Alliance the Koleos will be made on Nissan X-Trail underpinnings. 

The car's expected reveal at the Beijing motor show suggests that it will go on sale firstly in China before it reaches European markets next year. 

A teaser video released earlier this week and spy shots of the Koleos testing earlier this year previewed the Koleos's styling, which adopts the same front-end treatment as the Megane and Talisman  models, with intricate light design incorporated into a full-width bar which also houses the front grille and Renault badge.

Like its Mégane and Talisman stablemates, the LED daytime running lights of the Koleos extend down below the main light clusters in a C-shape. 

The name Maxthon was circulated alongside early sightings of the Koleos, but Renault's continued use of the moniker elsewhere makes the adoption of a new name unlikely. 

The current Koleos is built in Renault's plant in Busan, South Korea.
