The front end of the Koleos successor shares many styling cues from the Renault Talisman premium sedan, as seen in the LED DRLs,slender-looking headlights that flow into a wide three-slat grille housing the Renault lozenge in the middle. The rear end gets sleek LED taillights, shark-fin antenna and a tailgate-mounted spoiler.

Power for the SUV is likely to come from a range of 1.6-liter turbo petrol and diesel engines. The petrol unit is reported to produce around 163 bhp while the diesel variant will be offered in two tunes: 130 bhp and 160 bhp. Transmission options are likely to be a 6-speed manual and an EDC dual-clutch autobox.

The successor to the Renault Koleos is expected to make its debut at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. Given that the 2015 Nissan X-Trail is making an entry into India, Renault could also consider launching the new SUV to replace the aging Koleos in India.
