Renault E-Space Concept: a contemporary vision of ‘voitures à vivre’

Premiered at the 2026 Paris Motor Show, E-Space Concept marks the comeback of voitures à vivre for Renault as it outlines its vision for the car of the future.

The modern-day successor to the original 1984 Renault Espace, the concept car reboots the founding principles of the MPV as part of an ultra-modern vision.

Designed first and foremost as a living space, it is very much a people-centred vehicle, with an innovative, airy and modular interior created for comfort and family time together.

A real alternative to SUVs and saloons, E-Space Concept features clean lines with an MPV-body style and open layout, bathed in natural light.

Reflecting the values embodied by the brand for 128 years, E-Space Concept is Renault’s contemporary retake on travel and family mobility in the electric age.
