Renault Espace 2.0dCi 175 CAR review

This Espace doesn't look very different – what's new?

The Espace gets revised diesel engines for 2007, ensuring all now meet the Euro4 emissions standard. Quality takes a step forward, and there are new features such as a redesigned steering wheel. Otherwise, the Espace sticks to its brief, of carrying up to seven people and their luggage in comfort.

Any exterior changes?

You'll have to be an Espace addict to spot the funkier rear lamp graphics and new alloy wheel designs. Plump for the top-selling Dynamique trim and you'll get 17-inch alloys, chrome door handles and roof rails, and a body-coloured windscreen base.
