Renault to re-style the Espace

The next version of Renaults big MPV, the Espace, will look radically different from the current model.

It is set to assume a Nissan Qashqai/Dodge Journey-like crossover look, combining the practicality of a MPV with the appeal of 4x4 styling.

The new model will improve on the practicality of the current car by having rear seats that all fold into the floor.

Renault will unveil the car next year, but has yet to confirm whether it will keep the Espace name.
