Renault's Koleos has been given its obligatory midlife nip and tuck, the most pronounced changes appearing at the front end and in a few interior trim details, while they've also made the diesel engines more efficient.

The frontal area sees slimmer headlamps and a big chrome grille replacing the previous twin-nostril corporate look. Designers have also incorporated LED indicators into the wing mirrors and the alloy wheels have also been redesigned. As you'll see in the pictures, a bold new hue called Cayenne Orange has been added to the colour palette.

On the inside, the action is limited to a new speedometer housing and display as well as a selection of new upholsteries and trims.

Of course, the Koleos also jumps on the CO2-saving bandwagon and changes to the vehicle itself as well as the engine and gearbox result in emissions of 148g/km for the 110kW engine and 166g/km for the 130kW version.

As before, the 4x4 version of the Koleos uses a permanent all-wheel drive system derived from Nissan's X-Trail.

We're still awaiting confirmation on its local launch date, but later in the year should be a good bet.
