Okay, despite Renault being intent on telling me the Espace is new, this car has been out a while now. But we thought we'd take a look because it looks cool. Well, as people carriers go, let us not get ahead of ourselves. Everything is relative.
But look at it. One could say the design is almost space age. BMW have recently moved into the MPV market with the 2-Series Active Tourer and produced something very bland. Whereas Renault, they've gone a little crazy.
The Espace is huge for one, but also sat on a raised ride height to almost ape an SUV. Except, it isn't an SUV, it is an MPV, so you get a much bigger cabin with 7 proper seats, like being in a private jet. Sort of. Brave, bold and different. I don't know how it drives, but I could almost say I want one. Plus, you can get it with the same 2.0 Turbo petrol engine that is in the Clio RS.
The world is a better place when the French car manufacturers stay up a little too late with a crate of red wine and plenty of cheese. If the Espace is the result, then I'm all for it, just look at that giant touch-screen dashboard!
Now Renault, please import this to the UK.
(We didn't realise that the most expensive is a whopping €44,800. Owch!)
