New Renault Espace: technology and comfort

The recent EuroNCAP test awarded New Espace a five-star rating. No surprise: the business-class quality and the irresistible comfort it gives, makes New Espace a perfect car for a demanding driver. Let me explain why.

First – the look. It’s design is very modern - look at the central console, which reminds an airplane cockpit instrumentation with its stylized gear shift and illuminated dial surround. 

Second – your cosiness: the seats supports your unique personal morphologies, driver seat massage function helps you to get a maximum comfort - even for a very long journeys.

Third – the technology. It is controlled by the Multi-Sense system, which is designed to afford your individual driver’s choices.  The Multi-Sense system controls and operates on the others systems: the car’s steering, the 4-wheel steering system, the suspension system, the engine, the EDC transmission and even the interior lighting.

Four preset modes let you to get an unlimited choice of experiences – all you need is one click on the on R-Link2. You may choose Eco, Neutral, Sport or Comfort mode. The last mode ensures the manoeuvrability, that you didn’t expect in this type of a car. If you want to increase the engine responsiveness and hear its characteristic  sporty sound, you should choose Sport mode.

One thing you may found very comfortable is Easy Park Assist. The size of a car (486 cm by 189 cm by 168 cm) makes the system really useful.  Easy Park Assist with its  on-screen instructions helps you to park anywhere – angle, perpendicular or parallel. In automatic-pilot mode, it has a reversing camera, sound signal and the system takes control of the steering wheels.

“Renault's New Espace is a crossover that is generous in proportions, technology, equipment and on-board sensations, inviting driver and passengers to take full enjoyment in travel.” – these are the words of L. Van Den Acker, who summed up the New Espace design. In my opinion, it’s a 100 % true.
