The portrait 8.7-inch touchscreen multimedia system includes satnav with TomTom traffic updates, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Advanced Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Traffic Sign Recognition with and Hill Start Assist have been applied across the Koleos line-up.

The Initiale Paris is exclusively fitted with a 2.0-litre diesel engine, producing 175PS, and a seven-speed automatic transmission with four-wheel drive.

Fuel economy is rated at 47.9mpg (NEDC) with CO2 emissions of 156g/km.
