The exterior design is eye-catching. Although the new vehicle is an MPV, it has a different exterior design from the traditional MPV, looking more like a crossover product between an MPV and an SUV. In terms of appearance, the Espace adopts the latest Renault family design language, and the front has high recognition.

New car background.

Renault Espace was born in 1984, the first generation of Renault Espace (1984-1991) codenamed J11 was born; the second generation Espace (codenamed J63) was born in 1991, the chassis follows the chassis of the previous generation, but the exterior shape and interior design have changed very much, compared to the square shape of the first generation, the second generation Espace has started to have some soft lines compared to the square shape of the first generation. The third generation Espace was born in 1996, and from this generation, the Espace started to take the technological route, with the digital speedometer in the center of the center console being seen as a representative of the radical design; the fourth generation Espace (codename J81) was launched in 2002 and was given a mid-life facelift in 2006. The fourth generation Espace continued the good usable space of the Espace models while increasing the flexibility of the space, with more folding options for the second-row seats and a greater focus on travel comfort. We are now seeing the fifth generation Espace (code name JR), which was launched in 2015 in the European market, and this is Renault's first MPV model in China.

Competitor models.

Renault's new Espace, an imported crossover MPV, does not have the most direct competitor in the domestic market, so we have chosen an imported MPV model in the same condition as it - the Volkswagen Sharan. Sharan has a good reputation in the domestic imported MPV market. It's pricing of 26.98-37.68 is a bit high, but the huge terminal discount makes it have enough cost performance.

Full summary.

At present, most of the MPV market takes the middle and practicality as the selling point, but this time Renault brings the Espace to make people shine, it maintains the usual fine line with other Renault models, but at the same time full of personality, which is undoubtedly the biggest highlight for consumers who are used to seeing traditional MPV models; from the practical point of view, the 2+3+2 seating layout of the car can really meet 7 people traveling at the same time From a practical point of view, the car's 2+3+2 seating layout can indeed meet the needs of seven people traveling at the same time, but the last row of legroom is relatively limited, so the last two seats can only be used for emergencies; the configuration of the car has certain advantages over similar models, so I believe that the car can still win the hearts of some consumers.
