40 years ago, Renault introduced a model that could be regarded as the first MPV, which it called the Espace. It was a versatile people-carrier and in the typical French way, it was described as ‘the first car for life and living’.

In the same way Chrysler’s minivan set the American carmakers rushing into a new segment, the Espace too created a new segment that would keep growing over 5 generations, matching the rise in popularity of SUVs.

The sixth generation now begins and leads the brand’s charge in the C and D segments. As with its predecessors, it has been evolving with the times but retained the people-carrier DNA throughout as well as being Renault’s most spacious model.
