Koleos concept was a new kind of vehicle : it was a mix of an MPV and a SUV. The brief that Patrick Le Quément gave for the interior 'art direction' was : 'HIGH-TECH - HIGH TOUCH'. This led us to develop a concept in which the amount of luxury material (in this case, Connolly leather) is kept to a minimum, used only in areas that come into direct contact with passengers. The leather is applied to carbon-fiber components, which are in turn mounted on efficient, lightweight aluminum structures—effectively making "empty space" the cabin's primary material.

It has been revealed in 2000 at the Geneva motor show.
