The Renault Koleos 2.0 dCi [4WD] with a SunRoller Jazz 39 with an actual weight of 935 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Renault is in general good. And also the weight of the SunRoller with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Renault Koleos 2.0 dCi [4WD] SunRoller Jazz 39
Actual Weights
SunRoller Jazz 39: 935 kg.
Renault Koleos 2.0 dCi [4WD]: 2010 kg.
Noseweight: 60 kg.
Actual weight ratio: 47%.
Performance
The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 237 points).
Speeds of 76 mph (122 km/h) to 81 mph (131 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is more than enough power at low engine speeds (score to compare 223 points).
Slightly higher revs (1700 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 17.1 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 285 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 20%.
On motorway inclines higher revs (2500 rpm) are needed.
A speed of 67 mph (108 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
The towing limit of the Renault is more than sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, a B driving license is enough.
Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 47%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 52%.
The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
Recommended noseweight is 60 kg.
Stability and safety score to compare is 279 points.
If the caravan starts to snake you should reduce your speed and slow down directly! Lift your feet off the accelerator and brake gradually. Hold the steering wheel into a fixed position.
Conclusion
Performance is good.
Safe driving is possible.
It's a perfect match!
Influence of User Payload on stability
Weight distribution and noseweight are vital in obtaining a stable caravan.
