These spy photos are very telling for what's going on in the European auto industry. What used to be the MPV market has now become the crossover market, as people are swapping a bit of practicality for chunky looks, which is why the prototype for the next generation of Koleos is based on the Scenic.
The current version of the Koleos is actually based on a car designed by Renault Samsung, but this time the French are going at it alone without Korean help.
Not much is known about the next Koleos other than the fact that it will be different. The chassis underneath this test mule is likely shared with a car from partner brand Nissan, as their Qashqai is also in this class.
Renault now has a B-segment crossover called the Captur. It's already quite popular and a bit larger than its class would suggest, so the new Koleos would have to do something really special in terms of practicality.
