Renault Espace (03-12) - Review

Review by Simon Harris on
The Espace is one of the most spacious people carriers around and makes an ideal car for larger families. The looks disguise its size well - it's more than 4.5 metres long - while inside it's roomy and versatile. It does most of the things you'd expect a people carrier to do, like have seats that fold and remove, lots of clever storage bins and the ability to carry seven people. But newer alternatives are even better and the fact that the rear seats in the Espace don't fold flat into the floor means overall practicality is somewhat limited. Changes for 2006 included a potent new 2.0-litre diesel plus interior upgrades.

Equipment

The Espace is well equipped with an automatic parking brake, automatic headlamps, ESP, traction control and a CD player as standard. Top models get front fog lamps, six-CD autochanger and body-colour door-handles, tyre pressure monitors, rain-sensing wipers and parking sensors. From 2006 high-spec versions can be chosen with cornering lights and the satellite navigation system offers the latest 3D map appearance.
