The 2026 Renault Espace is a stylish evolution of the iconic MPV, offering a perfect blend of hybrid performance, premium comfort, and modular space. Designed for families and long-distance travellers, the new Espace brings together innovation and practicality like never before.
A new chapter in family travel
Renault continues its tradition of building cars for living with the 2026 Espace. With seating for up to seven passengers, this new-generation model adds sophistication and high-end features, while preserving the versatility that made its predecessors stand out. It’s a true road companion designed for shared adventures.
Full hybrid performance meets efficiency
Powering the new Renault Espace is a full hybrid E-Tech 200 hp powertrain. It combines a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine with two electric motors for dynamic and efficient performance. With fuel consumption at just 4.8L/100 km and CO₂ emissions of 108g/km, it can travel up to 1,100 km without needing a charge. Acceleration is smooth, hitting 0-100 km/h in 8.8 seconds, thanks to its refined automatic gearbox.
Contemporary design with a premium edge
The new Espace is restyled with over one-third of its body redesigned, including a sleek new front end, bonnet, and tailgate. A bold grille, gloss black accents, and modern lighting enhance its dynamic stance. Color options like Baltic Blue Grey and Schist Grey add visual depth, while 20-inch wheels boost its sporty appeal.
Intelligent comfort and cutting-edge tech
Inside, the cabin feels both modern and welcoming. A standout feature is the Solarbay glass roof, the largest in Renault’s range, which adjusts opacity on demand. Passengers also enjoy improved seating, enhanced soundproofing, and smart climate controls. Tech-wise, a 24-inch OpenR display, Google built-in services, and wireless phone connectivity come standard.
Driver recognition and personalized welcome
For the first time in a Renault, the Espace offers facial recognition for driver profiles. It remembers seat, mirror, and multimedia settings, creating a unique experience every time. Data is stored securely in the vehicle, without cloud sharing.
Spacious, modular interior for flexible living
The Espace delivers exceptional space with an interior length of 2.78 meters and a sliding second row for ultimate comfort. In the 7-seat version, the Easy Access feature simplifies entry to the third row, while the boot space expands up to 2,224 litres depending on configuration.
Ride comfort and driving dynamics enhanced
Equipped with the 4Control Advanced system, the Espace provides four-wheel steering for agility in cities and stability on highways. Multi-Sense driving modes let you tailor the experience to your preferences, whether it’s eco-driving or sporty engagement.
Safety and assistance redefined
With 32 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), the Espace ensures peace of mind on every journey. Features like Adaptive Cruise Control, Emergency Braking, Lane Keeping Assist, and the award-winning Safety Coach support a safer, more confident drive.
Seamless connectivity and predictive maintenance
The Espace keeps drivers connected through OpenR Link, enabling over-the-air updates and remote diagnostics. Maintenance reminders and personalized alerts help owners stay in control without visiting a workshop unnecessarily.
Trim options to suit every taste
From the sporty Esprit Alpine with its Alcantara interior and snowflake-inspired wheels to the luxurious Iconic trim with massage seats and real wood finishes, the Espace offers something for everyone. Each version maintains a premium look and feel.
Summary
The 2026 Renault Espace brings a fresh perspective to the large family car. With smart hybrid power, refined design, and class-leading modularity, it offers a compelling option for those seeking comfort, innovation, and versatility in one stylish package.
