25 YEARS: A segment developed around a SAGA UNPRECEDENTED

Developed in collaboration with Matra Automobile, Renault Espace car was revolutionary for its time.

In 1921 the manufacturer of airplanes Edmund Rumpler presented advanced driving a car with a place, a panoramic glass surface and interior fittings modular. "Projects" of this type follow each other and sometimes bear the signatures of famous authors, such as the "voiture maximum" of Le Corbusier in 1929. No one imagines that these ideas will still someday the industrialization of a car "people carrier" that would revolutionize the automotive universe: Renault Espace. After the completion of a first prototype in 1979, the history of Espace kicks off in December 1982. The intent of Renault, to create a "limousine travel" inspired by the American van with a flatbed that allows passengers to move from front to rear, with 5 or 7 seats Independent, is wholly consistent with the prototype presented by Matra. In 1984, then, the car that created the minivan segment shows an evolution in the automotive landscape.

Launched with a body made of composite materials in only petrol version, progressively followed by diesel, the model can carry up to 7 people with a welcome comfort and offers multiple configurations, thanks to the seats reclining, folding and removable, with integrated ventral safety belt. The front seats like "captain chair" allow you to transform the interior space in the living room. Since 1988, during the "facelift", the Quadra-wheel-drive version announces a bold career. Were marketed approximately 192,000 Espace I. In February 1991, the second generation, which has softened its external, internal modularity evolves, with second and third row seats of articulated and mobile (rails on the floor rear). In 1994, during the 10 years of collaboration with Matra and supported by the victory in formula 1 engines, Renault created a unique vehicle demonstration: Espace F1 V10 RS5. In line with other models of South Range, Espace II can mount a V6 engine and an automatic transmission. Until 1997, were sold about 320,000 units Espace II, while the threshold of 500,000 Espace produced in total since 1984 is exceeded in 1996. The segment witnessed the emergence of an increasing number of direct competitors. Presented at the end of 1996, the third-generation Espace gains in terms of size, with the appearance, two years later, a long version (+27 cm). Resolutely modern style, finishes and materials used, new engines and maturity of the concept, with a dashboard upholstered with central display el'inedito glove compartment, allow Espace to preserve its status as the top range model. Overall, will be produced over 365,000 Espace III.

In September 2002, Espace IV with a steel body, and benefits from V6 petrol and diesel, exclusive for the segment. Later, all the seats have safety belts with reel three-point anchoring system of integrated and continuous positioning on the rails. It is the first car of the class to get the 5 stars in Euro NCAP crash tests. In line with the previous generation, the model proves a commercial success on all markets, far outdistancing the competition became particularly diverse.

The 4 generations of the MPV Renault Espace have followed have led to the best possible synthesis between comfort and pleasure of driving a large sedan, the space of a station-wagon and the interior lights and shared a van. The bet of twenty-five years ago is finally won and the top range SUV Renault enters the case, fully, in the history of cars that have made history represents, today, offering cutting-edge of Renault in terms of technology, safety and engine .
