This is by far the best looking minivan

what a geat interior. looks like a fashion living room. Would prefer the Espace over any other Van oder SUV

Thank you for this review! It is good to watch in 2020 when you want to buy a used Espace.

Props to Renault - and any other French and Italian car makers - for making cars that make you turn your head after seeing them on the road

This car could be presented in 2018 and still look very futuristic, both exterior and interior. Well done Renault!

Fantastic!! By far the best car reviews on YT. Great camera work, great presentation. (I also liked to see the interior light)

Was on local car show today. Espace in Initiale trim made even better impression than Volvo XC 90. It was that good to me.

Finally a cool big family car ....

Listening to Thomas talk about cars never gets old. Nice review!

I can say only this. You are so good at reviewing cars, going into it with so detail's that when I want to buy I car I look your videos and make final judgement.

Thank you very much! it's such amazing idea to review european cars that never come to the U.S or the ones that come to the U.S, but they are diffrent. Also, I love how Thomas attention to small details. keep it up please.

Hey camera man we see you. :P Nice review, keep up the good work.

Love this violet colour. Proud to be French, the latest models from PSA and Renault are really well-made !

Great review , i love how how critical you are , its the kind of stuff that doesnt really make a huge difference but the stuff you will notice after a while owning the vehicle , well done 😎

Absolutely the most stunning Espace ever! Great job Renault :)

Best looking (inside and outside) Renault in ages! Thanks Thomas!

Very nice review ! Thomas does a really great job giving his feeling about every detail. Thanks !

Great reviewer, informative and comprehensive, withoutany unnecessary drama. Great channel. Well done to all involved.

Very thorough review, I like it. Great job.

The problem with this car is it's not a real Espace, they should've named it Scenic or Grand Scenic. And make a "real" new Espace, a car for a full family of 6/7 ppl (a biggest car) with seat modularity, confort, space, all the things who make the succes of the first Espace. Renault was a pionner in this class with Espace, now they just copy or adjust to the concurence.

I've seen it on the motorway, beautiful & impressif !

Best car reviewer on YT by far. With Thomas it's all about the car, great attention to detail, no ego.... great stuff thanks Thomas and the Autogefühl gang

I can c that you are excited to show us the car and i like tat. Keep it up man

Just got mine and your review was key in my decision. Really love the car : very attractive design in and out, super comfortable and tons of features especially for safety. Very happy of my choice ! Thanks for your review!

Love your reviews!

Very nice review! Thank you for making youtube a better place! I have subsceibee and I shall watch more.

The dead part of steering movement is the most safe and comfortable feature of every car. When you drive mitsubishi Outlander or Alfa Romeo stelvio and every move of the steering is immediately represented in car turning left or right is extremely irritating while driving highways. This direct steering is OK for the racing tracks but not for normal, everyday use.

You make really good videos Best regards

After 15 months and 30k km i would buy it again and again.

interesting review!!! Keep up the good work!! Saeed

It does not get any cooler than this ! What a great car.

I like the style of your glasses frames

Thanks for review. For me it was very helpful to take purchase decision.

Personally i think this is a game changer

Thomas' is the number one guy when it comes to in depth new car reviews ! It must be extremely hard to do this in English ( I would like to see Clarkson do it in German ) !!! Congratulations and please keep up the good work.

I loved this review.Thomas makes interesting to learn from the car ,just using his voice. However the lights outside the van (the violet ones)made it some like hard to see clearly the different modes of dash lights inside. I always look at all Autogefühl reviews.I think they are one of the best.Very professionals.

Just discovered your channel, what a great review! Today I drove the middle trim Dynamique class of this new Espace and it was a joy to drive, I liked the different drive styles a lot and the middle console is amazing, works so easy and user friendly. Having three kids in the age of 8-12 with sports and friends coming over I would consider this a nice upgrade from our current 7s Toyota Verso. But I think I would go for the Top Trim anyway, if you buy a car like this, I would want it all and not settle for less. Now I am gonna check out the rest of your video's, great work!!

Dear Autogefühl If you had to choose between a used 2016 Espace Initiale Paris dci and a used 2017 Mazda CX-5 Spots-Line AWD AT 175, what would you choose? I live in Croatia so I do not really need 4wd except when going to Austria to ski, while on the other hand I do not have a big family so maybe I do not need the (E)space...thank you for your thoughts

Thank you so much. Great review. New Espace looks so cool for a family van. Will you also test new Kadjar?

Great design, great car!

SUPER REVIEW !!!

Nice video, Good luck guys!

Great video and a really nice car! i have the gen. 4, 2.0 petrol and I love it. it's like a living room on wheels!::

Excellent review!

good and complete review, thanks

wonderful professional presentation, nice video.

Thanks for that great review. Which 7 seater car would you recommend among S-Max, Espace, BMW S2 Gran tourer ? any other?

Hi Thomas, keep up the great work. I really like your reviews as they are very detailled. In the future will you be reviewing the Kia Sorento and the BMW 5GT ?

I become your fans very good review as always .....for design wise I like this car different then other cars ...let see the performance how this car react on the road...

Very interesting review Thomas. The styling is certainly unique , inside and out. I especially like the ability to change the color of the ambient lighting , something that I wish more manufacturers offered. I think it adds to the overall driving experience by surrounding the driver and passenger in a visually stunning environment. This vehicle seems to offer a nice blend of practicality and style. Too bad Renault doesn't market their vehicles in the U.S. Great review !

Such a stunning car all the chrome accents makes me think that knife engineers designed this car ! Sharp and Sleek ultra modern almost futuristic

can you please tell me somethibg about floor storage? and seats storage? does the new espace have some or not? for example a have a gr. scenic 2012 and i have driver floor 1 storage place plus 2 more at middle seats and in almost every seat a storage :-) i hope they did it with the new espace too! THANK YOU! YOU ARE DOING GOOD JOB WITH THIS VIDEOS

I love the neelw Renault Espace, that I'll get one!!! FOREVER RENAULT!

Finding a premium looking and practical 7-seater is hard these days, so this car has little to no competition. BMW 2 Gran Tourer just isn't big enough, while Sharan, Alhambra and Galaxy are out of the question from design point of view. BMW X5 and Volvo XC90 are indeed premium 7-seaters, but the price is significantly higher than Espace.

AWS (All wheel steer) technology was used by Honda some 20 years back but dies off soon after. it's nice to see Renault brings this back again. The interior trimming still a long way to improve, as the sun shield were rattling while driving, taking the Vito as benchmark is another approach. The weird shifter could be replaced by Jaguar/Range Rover-like knob which combines with hand writing recognition. Disappointingly Espace reduce in size. big on the outside and small on the inside~ soon it will be eaten alive by Japanese & Korean options. how Thomas wishes the roof will raises up instead of the side mirrors when he approaches the car LOL! Notice that the date on the screen was 11.06.2015 when the car was test driven and this video was uploaded 2 days later. how efficient & productive the crew works ! well done Autogefuhl team !

Do not destroy the trunk cover... ;-) Just pull at either right or left end cap of the cover to get it out. Works really easy.

I personally like the exterior design! A 4x4 version would be nice! PS. The cameraman should point the camera to the subject, not somewhere else! ;) Just a general example: The person shows something in his hand, but the camera is pointed to his face.

They should have stayed with the rail system starting from the passenger seats and going all the way back to the door of the boot. The comfort of the passengers in the old model is comparable to the comfort of flying in first class. I'm 1,94m and I can stretch my legs with not even touching the seat in front of me with a single toe and we still have enough space for luggage for 4 persons for a 3 week trip! The rail system was one of the biggest reasons why my dad bought the Espace in the first place, for comfort and practicality.

I want this car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Superb exterior for any other cars

Great review

Good review

Great looking front end to that car. The rear 3/4 still looks like a van though! I guess they're constrained by packaging objectives would a sloped rear screen would have looked better.

Just love it !!!

When will this launch in india...pls reply..and what pricing

Keren dan ditunggu utk launching-nya di Indonesia... 👍👍💜💙👍👍

Lately, Renault have been releasing cars that resemble my childhood dreams about future cars. Or space shuttles, can't remember exactly.

I like brand new Espaces!! It made odysseys, galaxies, and sharans look aged in comparison!! I think this is 1 of the prettiest minivans out there and if Momo Yaoyorozu is a car this will be it.

Very good review. I was expecting your opinion of this car, that will rival with the S-max that you also reviewed very good. I think this one is one step up, in quality materials and constrution, and i really whant to see the seeling values of that two. Is the S-Max sporty MPV have now a matching competitor.... The new BMW Serie 2 Grand tourer will be the best seeling in Germany but in rest of europe i dont now.

Can you test the Grand Scenic with the 1.33 tce benzine engine?

Looks lovely..but too small inside..guess can't upgrade my Espace Iv to this. with Renault engineering don't fancy repairs on rear wheel steering. The electronic handbrake on Espace causes too many problems. And 160 bhp from 1.6 diesel..how long can that last ?

Thank you watching in 2021

Watching on ipad - very low sound. Car is beautiful.

Hi Thomas! Now we know how to pronounce your full name when we're in Germany :) Yet again, another marque we no longer see in Canada. The "Le Car" was the last Renault here back in the late 70s. Nice to see an alternate design. Not sure about the massive blind spot on the rear pillar. You'll be happy to know my wife and I both chose leatherette in our bimmers 🐮😄

That rear wheel turning was kinda invisible ;)

Great rewiev. I was looking for your rewiev of the grand scenic. I can't fint it ? What's the difference between these cars?

Thanks a lot for the great review!

Bring this car to the UK

Hello. I've watched carefully the car presentation. I suppose that the S-Max, Sorento and Touran would be the competitors. About this new Espace, while I like the exterior appearance, personally I have a problem with the inside of the car: I am not a fan of so many shiny surfaces (many and big). That "integrated" digital console looks extremely complex (in a bad way, the interface is too loaded, changing 3-4 times the windows on the screen to make an option work, I wouldn't want to use it). From the video, I can't say for what is used that little window on the dashboard. From the price point of view, I don't understand why "they" (all of them, Renault, Volvo, Ford, Volkswaggen etc) can't use a more futuristic display solution, to see the GPS on the windshield for example - by the help of the projector (I think), but I saw some other solutions, something like a window on the dashboard (just as the one that you put up there). You said that in the trunk is a bass system - I would very much prefer to have the spare wheel there. Thank you for the car presentation - it is nicely done. Right now I don't need such a car, but when I will need one, I will make sure to compare some of the same type. Plus this car is soooo expensive, I assume that this is caused by the highest options that you mentioned. As a side note, I appreciate your reviews. I check more sites when comparing cars, my favorite is www.turatii.ro/category/cars/ (Romanian language only, unfortunately), but it is very nice to have more opinions when looking for something (if it is not allowed to place external links, please let me know and I will remove it from my message).

I saw a lot of these in Belgium.

Ein sehr schönes Auto, seit dem ersten Blick verliebt ^^. Sehr hochwertig, Top Optik und ein klasse Interior. Nur wer weniger Geld zur Verfügung hat und es nicht ganz so "exklusiv" benötigt, kriegt mit dem Scenic nahezu das selbe Platzangebot, als kleinen Vergleich nebenbei :)

Great review, just love it, will that car be coming to Mexico ??? because they have Renault in Mexico

I am curious why you did not mention anything about the new Getrag 7DCT300 (dual wet-clutch 7-speed EDC transmission? Was this not the transmission in this new Espace?

That is awesome. I feel they have taken it upon themselves to bring back the real french design that PSA murdered from Citroen.

i like your Review about the car, for me it is a comfort alternative to the BMW 5series and it is cheaper, i will have a look at it

does look a nice place to be

I think bringing escape to India would be super great idea for renault...by 2016

Beautiful car, now an electric version please :) They could if they get the price right really fight with Mercedes and Audi for sales with this car. It's a super comfortable drive. But they need to do some little details around the interior that would give it that extra "thing".

I love this car

Nice and professional video. Could you tell us how tall you are? Is it a car for a 1,85 m driver?

Please i want to know more about the engine, some of my friends are saying renault engines are not good

What did you make of the gearbox and Renault automatic gearboxes in general?

Looks Beutiful

What if this new van have its F1 version?....The sound of old Espace F1 is sick

I read that the second row seats were reversible? Am really interested in cars where 2nd row is reversible thanks.

Congratulations Thomas, greetings from Greece. Amazing review. I have three children and am interested in this car. I have 3 questions. 1. I am 190 cm tall. Will I be comfortable in the driver's seat? 2. Is the second row of seats comfortable for adults up to 180cm tall? 3. what is the average fuel consumption lt/km in this model?

nice design

Thanks Autogefuhl for that tacit agreement. They are lovely looking vehicles. The last Renault Espaces suffered from electrical and mechanical gremlins, which caused residuals to be very very poor. German cars have reliability issues but these tend to be just a bit annoying and to do with electronic sophistication. The Espace problems were often terminal on older cars. This is a shame because they were quite stylish.

that top trim is expensive, but if the lower trims ressemble anything to that, its really impressive...beautiful and functional car:)

Shame we won't get it in the UK. I'm also curious to know which part of Germany do you do these test drives in? My guess is Schwabia!
