Renault Espace is coming back, as an SUV!

January 24, 2023

New Renault Espace on CMF-CD platform

For Renault’s new generation five- and seven-seater SUV, it quickly became clear that the Espace name would be the most obvious choice, a name that is well known both in and outside of Europe. The new Renault Espace is based on the Alliance’s CMF-CD platform and seats up to seven occupants.

From MPV to SUV

The Renault Espace is the founder of the MPV. For years MPVs were particularly in demand, but in recent years they have lost popularity tremendously. The SUV took over the role of the MPV. For this reason, the Espace will not return to the market as a traditional MPV. Indeed, the previous model already had crossover traits. This will be even more the case with the new generation Espace.

Focus on comfort

In this regard, each generation of Espace has evolved to meet customer expectations and position itself as a car of its time. The latest model follows in the footsteps of previous generations. According to Renault, the model puts the focus on comfort and innovations. The car is designed for long trips. Some form of electrification speaks for itself, as evidenced by the ‘E’ shaded in yellow in the Espace name.
