Renault Grand Espace
The Grand Espace is an expensive car both to buy and maintain. The insurance rates will be low and resale values will be high. The servicing charges will be offset by decent fuel economy, assuming you opted for the diesel variant.
The Renault Grand Espace seven-seater has plenty of room in the cabin both for front and rear occupants. With the seats folded, they make a handy table for other rear occupants. With all the seats folded the boot is enlarged dramatically. Even with all the seats up, all passengers have plenty of space as head and legroom is plentiful throughout the entire car.
The ventilation controls are located in the front doors. This clears the fascia area and creates more room for audio buttons making them clear and concise. The main dials and gauges are easy to read and are logically located.
The Grand Espace is longer and provides a smoother ride. Inside the cabin the chairs are all comfortable and supportive. Head and legroom are more than sufficient throughout the entire cabin.
For front passengers, accessing the cabin is easy. For the rear passengers, getting in through the car-style rear doors is less than practical, especially in crowded car lots. The boot is easy to access through the large rear hatch.
The Grand Espace is a large vehicle. And even with great visibility, light steering, and smooth acceleration; parking sensors are a must.

Renault Grand Espace
Space and practically are the main selling factors of the Grand Espace. The Espace also handles well and is geared primarily toward comfort. The steering tends to be overlight, and the gearboxes aren’t responsive enough. The Espace does provide a high driving position that comes in very handy.
The Grand Espace makes an excellent family car thanks to its large cabin and versatile seating layout. It will easily accommodate all passengers large and small in very decent comfort. The Grand Espace makes great sense for a growing family.
The Grand Espace is probably not the best first car due to its large size. The Espace is easy enough to drive, with light steering and good visibility. The car will also be too expensive for most novice drivers to buy and run.
Renault’s reputation for quality has suffered in recent years due to trouble with reliability and electronic difficulties. The Grand Espace is evidence that the company is working to turn things around. The firm has made a huge effort to address quality concerns and the Grand Espace is proof of that. Cabin build quality is impressive, and the build quality is much better than previous models.
