2013 Renault Espace
2013 Renault Espace. New Renault Espace features Renault’s new styling identity which
reasserts the model’s personality by ensuring an even more dynamic
stance. As is the case with all the brand’s new vehicles, the Renault
logo is more prominent, more upright and stands out even more clearly
against a broad black grille bar which is itself picked out by chrome
strips.
Other details which accentuate New Espace’s more dynamic,
status-enhancing looks include new ‘Hurlingham’ wheel trims and new
‘Monterey’ and ‘Dark Eptius’ alloy wheels.
Coupled to a six-speed manual gearbox, the 130hp, 150hp and 175hp
versions of the 2.0 dCi engine (M9R) emit just 150g of CO2/km (a saving
of 20g/km), equivalent to fuel consumption of 5.7 litres/100km (down 0.8
litres/100km). The state ‘eco-surtax’ applicable in France has come
down accordingly by €550.
Mated to automatic transmission, the same engines emit 169g of CO2/km
(a saving of 20g/km), equivalent to fuel consumption of 6.4
litres/100km (down 0.8 litres/100km). Here again, the ‘eco-surtax’
applied by the French state has been reduced by €550.
The 175hp version with manual gearbox delivers the segment’s lowest CO2 emissions for its power output.
With the 2.0 dCi engine under the bonnet, fuel consumption and CO2
emissions have come down by 1.7 litres/100km and 27g/km respectively
over a period of six years since this powerplant became available for
Espace in 2006.
In the case of the 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine (F4Rt), CO2
emissions have fallen to 198g/km (a saving of 6g/km), equivalent to fuel
consumption of 8.5 litres/100km (down 0.3 litres/100km).
