Espace has set the benchmark in the large MPV market for more than 20 years and now the latest revised 2007 range looks set to ensure it continues to be the most modern, stylish, safe and practical large MPV available.
New Espace 2007 is the perfect family car with a luxurious interior and a value-for-money price tag. With a face-lift in 2006, Espace still looks as modern and fresh as it did when it was first launched, ensuring it stands out from the crowd. The range has been simplified for 2007 with new pricing making Espace even more accessible for customers.
The new entry-level Espace Team 2.0 16V 140 starts at just £18,595 with prices rising to
£33,460 for the Grand Espace Initiale 3.0 V6 dCi 180 Auto Euro IV.
Espace 2007 also benefits from the addition of two new class-leading diesel automatic engines to the range, 2.0 dCi 150 Auto FAP six speed and 2.0 dCi 175 Auto FAP six speed, both of which are faster and more economical to run than competitors including the Chrysler Voyager 2.8 CRD Auto. The new six speed automatic gearbox has been developed by the Renault-Nissan Alliance.
A new Limited Edition Tech Run version has also been added to the range and will be perfect for the summer months ahead of long-distance family holidays as it features as standard a DVD DivX player with two 7†screens integrated into the headrests as well as multi-functional TunePoint allowing MP3 players such as iPods to be plugged in, to keep all the family entertained.
In addition, for a limited time only, if customers buy an Espace, one free portable DVD system which includes a 7†screen, remote control, set of headphones, cigarette lighter charger, external battery, AC/DC cable, S video cable to plug TV and headrest cover to enable customers to watch the DVD in the car.
Espace not only offers practicality and comfort for families, it also comes complete with a five-star Euro NCAP rating so customers can be assured that their family is travelling in a safe vehicle. Some competitor MPVs score as low as just two stars so Espace really is the safe choice for customers.
The new Espace 2007 range line-up includes Team, Tech Run, Dynamique and Dynamique S, with the Initiale trim remaining available on Grand Espace, and is available to order now.
