Forty years after its first appearance, Renault Espace is back on the scene with its new generation.
The watchwords are always the same, but brought back to the present day between technology, comfort and design.
The motto that accompanied the first Espace in 1983 was that of 'voiture à vivre', and is brought up to date today.

New Renault Espace
New Espace was born with the aim of continuing to be a point of reference in terms of passenger compartment and spaciousness, it has five or seven seats and was created to strengthen Renault's offensive in the C and D segments. The design is thought to be athletic and elegant, a close relative of the equally new Austral of the French house and also available in the sporty Esprit Alpine setting.
To accentuate the goal of 'maximum comfort' on board, the choice of refined materials and the quality of assembly and finishes which aim to highlight the top-of-the-range equipment, starting with a panoramic roof measuring over one square metre, the widest available on the market.
The external dimensions are more compact and the weight has been reduced by 215 kg compared to the previous model.
The engine is made up of the efficient 200 HP E-Tech Full Hybrid, which thanks to its low fuel consumption allows a range of up to 1,100 kilometers on a full tank.
The platform on which New Espace was born is the Cmf-Cd of the Alliance, with a specially designed chassis and over thirty driving assistance devices.
All this, combined with the expedients made available by the choice of Multi-Sense and 4Control Advanced, or Renault's four-wheel steering system.
