New Espace revealed



Renault has issued details of a revised Espace, with softer lines and two new engines, including the recently-announced 2.0-litre diesel engines which will make its first appearance in Ireland in the Laguna II.

The new particulate filter-equipped 2.0 dCi diesel engine delivers 150hp and 175hp in the Espace. A new six-speed automatic transmission is available and there will also be five- and six-speed manuals.

There will be four petrol engines ranging from 2.0- to 3.5-litres.
