Small MPV on Renault Modus platform, a niche car replacing the Almera line in Europe. Previewed as the Tone show car. Sales began January 2005. UK production from 2006. Mid-term changes 2008. Not that tall, so lower centre of gravity for better handling, but consequently not as roomy as one would expect from an MPV; average ride.
