The Renault Espace, first introduced in 1984, was a pioneer in the MPV (multi-purpose vehicle) segment. The 1997-2002 generation, known as the third-generation Espace, marked a significant evolution for the model. This iteration saw a departure from the boxy, van-like styling of its predecessors, adopting a more rounded and aerodynamic design. Built on a platform shared with the Nissan Primera, the Espace offered a spacious interior with seating for up to seven passengers, making it ideal for families. It was available with a range of petrol and diesel engines, including the powerful 3.0-liter V6 petrol engine. Notably, the Espace incorporated a range of innovative features for its time, such as a unique "floating" dashboard, a panoramic sunroof, and a rear bench seat that could be folded flat to create a substantial cargo area.

Despite its impressive features and practical design, the third-generation Espace faced competition from other popular MPVs like the Ford Galaxy and the Volkswagen Sharan, which were perceived as offering better value for money. The Espace's relatively high price and somewhat complex mechanical layout also contributed to its decline in popularity. Nevertheless, the Espace remained a popular choice in Europe, particularly in France, where its spaciousness and comfort continued to appeal to families. While the third-generation Espace may not have achieved the same commercial success as its predecessors, it played a significant role in shaping the MPV segment, paving the way for a new era of spacious and versatile vehicles.
