2013 Renault Espace New Concept

In the 2013 Renault Espace, the roof opens wide, allowing plenty of light into the interior. And inside, the car adjusts to meet your needs. As comfortable as they are practical, the sliding seats with automatic locking offer multiple combinations: each rear passenger can choose the position of their seat. Want to offer more seats to your many passengers? Need space for a large load? No problem you can increase or reduce the number of seats, from two to seven, with complete ease. Day trips, daily trips… The Renault Espace adapts to your lifestyle.

Spacious and bright, the interior of the Renault Espace has the finest materials. On the Dynamique TomTom model for example, you’ll find contoured wrap-around seats, a gloss black finish and a leather steering wheel with four spokes. The upholstery has been improved by treating it with Teflon for reinforced protection of the seats. For the driver, all the controls are within easy reach. The intuitive joystick lets you navigate through the multimedia functions, such as the premium Arkamys car stereo and the new Carminat TomTom Live navigation system. Easy to use, the system offers detailed and accurate maps on a large display (5.8", or 15 cm), speed camera alerts, speed limits, points of interest and easy updates from the TomTom Home application. In addition, by opting for LIVE Services, you’ll benefit from high definition traffic information and mobile speed camera alerts in real time. The integrated system, with a colour screen, also controls the audio and Bluetooth hands-free telephone functions. In the back, children won’t notice time flying by, thanks to the DVD screens that allow them to watch films or to use their games consoles. For easy and enjoyable journeys, the Renault Espace is always connected!

The 2013 Renault Espace offers exceptional safety and performance, and the range of 2.0 dCi engines contributes to real driving pleasure. Available in 150 hp and 175 hp Euro 5 versions with particle filter (FAP), this engine offers exceptional performance and fuel efficiency. Economical, quiet and environmentally friendly, it impresses with its high torque, available over a very wide range, combining flexibility with liveliness. For everyone’s safety, the Renault Espace offers a combination of active and passive safety devices. This high level of protection is illustrated by the 5 star score in the Euro NCAP crash tests.

The Renault Espace now offers LED technology in its headlights. The DRL (Daytime Running Light) system keeps the LEDs permanently lit to guarantee an optimal visual presence for other drivers and pedestrians, by day and by night. The ASR traction control and CSV understeer control ensure the vehicle’s stability, especially in difficult road conditions. The ABS wheel Anti Blocking System, with EBD (Electronic Brake Distribution) linked to the Brake Assist, helps to maintain control over direction when braking hard. Two adjustable front airbags. Two head
curtain airbags. Four side thorax airbags front and rear. The rear seating is equipped with Isofix for attaching child seats in safety. The fasteners are easy to access and the system is simple to use.

Renault Espace Performance is whatever the choice of engine (gasoline, CNG or diesel) or transmission, Espace remains the segment benchmark in terms of performance and driving pleasure. The combined cycle CO₂ emissions of the core-range dCi 130 and dCi 150 engines have been cut by 20g/km from 190 to 170g/km, thanks notably to work on combating friction and carefully-selected gear ratios. Espace is 90% recyclable and contains numerous weight-reducing materials, thus cutting fuel consumption. The aluminum doors and hood are some 20 kg lighter than steel equivalents.
