AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)11/26 Report--

The Espace is a MPV model owned by Renault. The new car was introduced to the domestic market in the form of imports last year, with a cash price of 258800. A few days ago, Renault officially released the official picture of the new Espace, the new car has been adjusted in the appearance and interior, and the new car may go on sale in the spring of 2020.

The appearance of the new car still focuses on the cross-border style, continuing the family design, the changes have only been adjusted in details, the interior of the headlights has adopted a more complex structure, adaptive headlights have been added, the fog lamp design is more anyway, and the front bar has also changed.

There is little difference between the side of the body and the current model, the edge of the window is still surrounded by chrome strips to improve the texture, equipped with 20-inch new style wheels, the body size is 4878/1888/1675mm, the wheelbase is 2884mm. The tail has changed greatly, the redesigned rear bar has been replaced, and the double exhaust layout has been surrounded by chrome plating and changed to a square design.

The new car still uses a hugging interior cockpit, but the layout of the center console has been adjusted, including two cup holders and a pair of USB ports, as well as a 9.3-inch vertical touch screen and a 10.2-inch LCD dashboard option, which can only be said to be too small.

The new car is expected to use a current 1.8T turbocharged engine, maximum power 165kW, peak torque 300Nm, and the transmission system will match a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

The launch of the model is based on the MPV model to compete with Honda Odyssey and Buick GL8, but the design of the French brand is somewhat wayward, and it is not entirely the design of the MPV model, so the overall feeling is more flat. At the same time, the influence of Renault brand in China can not support the positioning of this price.

Now even the joint venture Dongfeng Renault will be on the verge of withdrawal, not to mention this is an imported model, sales are also impossible to verify, no wonder netizens have doubts about "this car is still alive".

According to Renault data, Dongfeng Renault sold only 3228 vehicles a month in October, down 51.1% from a year earlier and 13% from a month earlier. Cumulative sales in the first 10 months were 48151, down 19.9 per cent from 60100 in the same period last year.
