I don't know how I feel about the SUV-esque high-riding stance. It's a good looking car, yes. I'm not sure if it'll age as well as the current Espace which still looks really fresh despite being a 10 year old design....

Doesn't look like a Renault.  Not enough pizzazz.

That's a rare observation for this segment, but it's the first thing I noticed as well.

Espace is suffering from an identity crisis.  It doesn't know if it wants to be a minivan/MPV or a crossover.

I'm getting a bit of a Mercedes R Class vibe from this thing.  And we all know how hard that flopped.

I feel like the new Espace is sort of an Avantime. SUV High-Style minivan.


Will miss the old one though, one of my favorite designs from Renault.
