雷诺在巴黎车展发布了全新Espace MPV。雷诺先前发布的前四代Espace都是全尺寸MPV，但第五代车型属于跨界车。量产版造型与雷诺在去年法兰克福车展亮相的Initiale Paris概念车非常接近，不再采用先前的方正轮廓,而是”优雅且富有肌肉感”的造型。同时车重也降低了250公斤。雷诺表示，新一代Espace有五座和七座两种版本，一共有Life, Zen, Intense 和Initiale Paris四种车型。顶级款采用单触折叠后排座椅，可编程数字仪表和高清晰度TFT显示屏以及可设置背景照明。该车动力系统包括三种引擎，包括新开发的dCi 160 EDC柴油引擎，功率118千瓦/160马力，扭矩380牛米，dCi 130柴油引擎功率95千瓦/130马力，扭矩320牛米，汽油引擎为TCe 200 EDC，功率147千瓦/200马力，扭矩260牛米。其中功率最大的汽油和柴油引擎可搭配雷诺的六速/七速EDC变速器，所有引擎都配备启停系统和能量回收系统。

 

Renault Espace reinvents the family MPV in Paris

Renault has officially introduced the new generation Espace people-mover at the Paris Motor Show.

 

The French company’s flagship model has undergone a comprehensive transformation compared to its predecessor. It combines “the sweeping lines of a large crossover” with “an elegant yet robust stance”. The MPV is up to 250 kg lighter than the previous Espace.

 

In France the 2015 Espace will be offered in three different trim levels – Life, Zen, Intense and Initiale Paris. Top versions will benefit from one touch folding rear seats, a configurable display of entirely digital instruments with a high-resolution TFT screen for the driver and customizable ambient lighting.

 

The model will be first available with three different engines – a newly developed dCi 160 EDC diesel with 160 HP (118 kW) and 380 Nm (280 lb-ft), the familiar dCi 130 diesel with 130 HP (95 kW) and 320 Nm (236 lb-ft) and the petrol TCe 200 EDC with 200 HP (147 kW) and 260 Nm (192 lb-ft). The two more powerful units will be offered with Renault’s EDC (Efficient Dual Clutch) transmissions in two versions – with six or seven speeds. All of the new Espace’s engines are equipped with a start-stop system, along with an energy recovery system.
