Renault Grand Espace Car Reviews

Renault’s attempt to reinvent their image from a budget car maker to a producer of stylish cars is helped tremendously with the production of the Grand Espace.

The Grand Espace sports a very stylish exterior with an abundance of cabin space and has clearly been designed with families in mind. The most recent Grand Espace seats seven people and does so more comfortably than the standard Espace, the Grand Espace also offers more in the way of boot space.

Background

The Renault Grand Espace was first introduced to the market in 1998, one year into the Renault Espace’s third generation.

The original Grand Espace featured an interior that seemed beyond its years with its futuristic looks. It shared much of its features with the Renault Laguna and ran until 2003. The fourth generation Grand Espace was put into production in 2003 and was the first Grand Espace to be entirely developed by Renault. 

The fourth generation model had some pretty interesting features, such as 90% of the new model was recyclable and it was designed to be particularly light considering its size in order to reserve fuel consumption.

Despite being hailed one of the best MPV’s in its class by numerous journalists and critics, the Grand Espace ceased to be produced in 2011, though a fifth generation model is expected to be introduced over the next few years.

Summary

The Grand Espace makes an excellent family car thanks to its large cabin and versatile seating layout. It will easily accommodate all passengers large and small in very decent comfort. The Grand Espace makes great sense for a growing family.
