This Espace is a rebodied Austral underneath, sharing most of its panels, front end and interior with an SUV two sizes down.
The Espace V was previewed by the Initiale Paris concept, the last of designer Laurens van den Acker's six "cycle of life" show cars.
Renault gave this Espace aluminium doors and bonnet to cut weight, then kept it front-wheel drive only.
Its body panels were glass-fibre over a galvanised steel cage, built not by Renault but by Matra, for the last time.
The Espace II had a second life as a regulatory loophole: a Chinese partner imported nearly-finished cars and called them 'locally assembled' to exploit gaps in China's import rules.
The minivan concept that reshaped European family travel almost died at birth: the original Espace sold just nine cars in its first month on sale.
