Renault Espace 1.6 diesel 2015 review - pictures

<p class="p1">Although there are no plans to bring the Espace to the UK, Renault still hasn’t ruled it out. The campaign starts here...</p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Longer wheelbase and overall length than its predecessor give Espace more space inside, whether in five or seven-seat configuration.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Renault’s stylish cabin is well equipped with plenty of tech and luxury appointments.</span></p>

<p class="p1">The two more powerful Espace models get an innovative four-wheel-steer system, which not only improves agility around town but also makes the car more fun to drive on a twisting road.</p>

Despite the fact&nbsp;that the Espace is available with only one wheelbase, buyers still get a choice of five or seven seats.

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Our favourite engine is this 158bhp BiTurbo diesel thanks to its 380Nm of torque.</span></p>

Rear seating space is good but the third row is only for kids.

There's up to 2,100 litres&nbsp;of boot space with all chairs folded flat.

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The luxurious interior feels well built and comfortable. Its stylish centre console neatly houses that 8.7-inch, vertically mounted touchscreen.</span></p>

There's a high-tech feel throughout the cabin.

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Basic driving parameters can be set via Neutral, Comfort, Sport and Eco modes.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The silhouette is less boxy, with a thinner glazed surface on the sides, a lowered bonnet, increased ground clearance and some coupé hints towards the back.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The dual-clutch auto box works well with the diesel engine.</span></p>
