After four years on the market, the fourth generation of the Espace received an update in 2006 to comply with the Euro 4 emission standards.
Renault introduced the Espace in 1984, and it became the MPV market leader. It was one of the most practical family vehicles thanks to its enormous interior space but kept the length within the mid-size sedan segment. With the facelifted version, Renault improved the car's look, the interior, and the drivetrains. And it did all that in a package that received a five-star rating with flying colors at the Euro NCAP crash-tests.
From the outside, the 2006 Espace featured similarly-shaped headlights as its non-facelifted version, covered with clear lenses. Its redesigned wrapped-around plastic bumper sported a pair of round fog lights on the lower side, flanking a broad black grille stretched from one side to another. The carmaker introduced a new taillights design at the back, which dropped the formerly used round lams and adopted the squared ones, more suitable for the car's overall wedged shape.
The Espace was available with up to seven seats in various configurations. While the third row was not as comfortable as the other two, it still provided plenty of legroom for two children. For the full-option level, named Initiale, the vehicle featured a leather-clad interior, a gigantic panoramic glass roof, and a multi-zone climate control system. The carmaker installed a long and wide dash panel with an instrument cluster installed in the middle. Thus, the rear passengers could read the speed on the digital speedometer.
Renault offered an engine for any needs. It started with a fuel-efficient but sluggish, 1.9-liter turbo-diesel and went up to a potent, 245 hp 3.0-liter V-6 gasoline unit. The carmaker introduced a six-speed automatic gearbox for the 3.0-liter V-6 turbo-diesel starting with the 2006 model year.
