Renault is going back to its roots with a new Espace concept, and that's rather fitting considering what happened to the actual Espace. The French automaker has announced that the E-Space Concept will make its world debut at the 2026 Paris Motor Show, where it will reinterpret the company's famous "voiture à vivre" (“cars for living”) philosophy for a new era.
The timing is almost comical. Renault still sells an Espace, but you won't find a traditional minivan underneath the familiar name. Rather blasphemously, the sixth-generation model is an SUV, complete with the obligatory raised ride height and chunky body cladding. It's one of many models that have betrayed their roots after catching the SUV bug.
