Renault: First appearance of the current Espace 🎥
FOLLOWER The next generation of the former van pioneer is mutating into an SUV. Renault's 199-hp Espace is a full hybrid with standard fuel consumption of less than five liters and up to seven seats.
Whether one can speak of an "unchanged DNA," as the manufacturer does, remains to be seen. The pioneer of the van segment in Europe will now become an ordinary SUV after the recent lounge-like touring sedan: Renault will soon open the order books for the new Espace. It will be offered as a five- and seven-seater with up to 32 assistance systems and optional all-wheel steering. The new generation is over 200 kilograms lighter.
Sufficient space for occupants and luggage
The 4.72-meter Espace has 18 centimeters of ground clearance and, with a shorter exterior, a longer interior. The trunk volume ranges between 159 liters and 1818 liters depending on the seating arrangement. The center bench seat can be moved by up to 22 centimeters.
Even the entry-level Techno version has a cockpit with two screens in the shape of a horizontal L. In addition to the horizontal 321-square-centimeter 12.3-inch TFT speedometer display, it includes the 453-square-centimeter vertical 12-inch touchscreen in the center console. A 9.3-inch head-up display is also available as an option.
Turbo gasoline engine and two electric units
The E-Tech Full-Hybrid 200 engine consists of a three-cylinder turbo gasoline engine and two electric units. The 1.2-liter combustion engine delivers 131 hp and 205 Nm of torque, the main E-engine 50 kW (68 hp) and also 205 Nm, and the secondary starter generator provides a further 18 kW (25 hp) and 50 Nm. It serves as a starter and for changing the total of 14 possible driving gears of the multi-mode transmission. Renault quotes a standard consumption of 4.7 liters per 100 kilometers in the lightest version.
