The Espace spirit
Espace has set the standard in the upper-range MPV segment for 25 years. It boasts flowing, expressive and sleek styling that catches the eye with generous glazed surfaces and elegant, harmonious lines.

Renault has profited from the 2010 Paris Motor Show to reaffirm the unique styling, specification and appeal of Espace, the only MPV to offer such a high standard of comfort, with seats that incorporate safety belts for all rear passengers. The model now comes with LED technology, while its new headlights harmonise with the striking new Perle Blue body colour and gloss black exterior trim details. The interior now features the Carminat TomTom® Live real-time satellite navigation system, as well as the 3D Sound by Arkamys® audio system, complete with full connectivity (USB, jack) and Teflon®-protected upholstery.

Benchmark performance
Whatever the choice of engine (gasoline, CNG or diesel) or transmission, Espace remains the segment benchmark in terms of performance and driving pleasure. The combined cycle CO2 emissions of the core-range dCi 130 and dCi 150 engines have been cut by 20g/km from 190 to 170g/km, thanks notably to work on combating friction and carefully-selected gear ratios.

Environmental respect
Espace is 90% recyclable and contains numerous weight-reducing materials, thus cutting fuel consumption. The aluminum doors and hood are some 20 kg lighter than steel equivalents.

Optimal safety
Espace is fitted with all the latest safety innovations, such as standard-fit ABS, emergency brake assist, ESP electronic stability program, understeer control, and ASR traction control. Passengers are protected with 8 airbags, while the rear seats are equipped with close-contact head restraints and integrated three-point seatbelts. Solid and reassuring, Espace scored five stars in EuroNCAP tests.
