Building cars for living, voitures à vivre, runs through the DNA of the Renault brand. In the D-segment, these automotive genes have now taken the shape of two complementary models, each one targeting a different customer base. With its sleek design and powertrains including the E-Tech 4×4 300 hp, Renault Rafale SUV coupé is the preferred choice of customers looking for driving pleasure and excitement. Renault Espace is a more modular vehicle with up to seven seats. With its large boot and greater modularity, it is geared more towards family driving.
Renault Espace was the pioneer in its market. Launched in 1984, it has always been unique. Five generations have succeeded each other, each one refining and updating a model that has become iconic. Available with five or seven seats, this grand tourer is an invitation to enjoy an exceptional driving experience, shared with all the occupants.
A family car with contemporary flair, New Renault Espace receives extensive restyling inside and out, along with new high-tech features. While maintaining its core strengths and DNA – visible in the interior space and modular design – it gains significant upgrades in both technology and comfort.
The interior gains the largest Solarbay opacifying glass roof in the range (almost 2 m²), together with an innovative driver recognition system. Passengers enjoy new, more ergonomic front seats, with new upholstery and improved soundproofing.
Under the bonnet, the full hybrid E-Tech 200 hp powertrain is unique for its performance/efficiency ratio. With standard fuel consumption of 4.8 litres/100 km and 108 grams of CO² per km, it has a range of up to 1,100 kilometres without charging. This powertrain is already compliant with the future Euro 6 Bis standard.
For a safer and more agile driving experience, Espace still features 4Control Advanced 4-wheel steering technology along with 32 new-generation driving aids.
