The
Renault Espace is a
mid-size luxury crossover (
large MPV in its first four generations) from
French automaker Renault. Generations 1–3 were sold under the Renault brand but manufactured by
Matra. The
Renault Grand Espace is a long-wheelbase (LWB) version with increased rear leg room and boot size. The name "Espace" means "space" in French. The car is often considered to be the first
MPV, but previous vehicles had similar designs.
