Renault Espace (X97/FC/JFC). 2014–23 (prod. n/a). 5-door MPV. F/F, 1598, 1997 cm³ diesel, 1618, 1798 cm³ petrol (I4 DOHC). Espace reinterpreted as a sleeker, lower minivan with shallower windows and bigger wheels. On new CMF platform, along with new diesels developing between 130 and 160 PS, the latter with twin turbos, and the Clio RS200’s petrol engine developing 200 PS. Shown at Paris 2014, where it was arguably the star. No Grand Espace this time: the single body style is nearly as long, at 4·85 m, or BMW X5 (F15) territory. More chrome used, signalling Espace’s luxury ambitions. Less headroom due to the new format.
