2017 Renault Koleos Revealed Ahead Of Beijing Unveiling

“Maxthon” is out and “Koleos” is back in as the name of Renault’s mainstay SUV, with the French automaker confirming that its next-generation family SUV - due to be revealed in just a few days at the Beijing Motor Show - will continue to wear the Koleos nameplate.

European reports suggested Renault would adopt a new name for its new SUV, with Maxthon rumoured to be the front-runner.

After all, with the Beijing-bound SUV expected to be markedly bigger than the current Renault Koleos (below) and slot into the next size category up, a brand-new badge made sense.
