Renault Koleos review: Can the 5-seat SUV make its mark?

French brands have never really succeeded in selling larger cars in the UK. There’s one notable exception: the Renault Espace, a ground-breaking people carrier that did will in the 80s and 90s.

But in 2017 — despite there being an all-new Espace which can be bought elsewhere in Europe, but not the UK — people carriers are old hat. It’s all about SUVs. So Renault is having another crack at the big car market, this time with the Koleos.

There’s one thing we have to get out the way from the off: open the boot and there’s no third-row rear seats. Renault says it is prioritising comfort and individual passenger space in the Koleos — giving everyone a captain-like seat and lashings of legroom — which means there’s no 7-seat versions.
