In 2022 Renault has decided to stop production of Espace, after 38 years of presence in the automotive market. And five more generations differ from each other! The brand really wanted to refocus its family line with the new Austral SUV, which aims to compete with the Peugeot 3008. Previously, this decision was accompanied by the removal of the Scénic, Koleos and Kadjar models. However, with the disappearance of the space attached to it, it is gone now there is no more reliable alternative for large families I am looking for seven seats and a large volume of the trunk. Unlike alternatives, for example, Peugeot. In response, Renault created a a strategy similar to Peugeot’s with the 5008 ! Offering the Austral SUV in two lengths: one to replace the Kadjar, the other to replace the Espace.

Austral under two different names

Drum roll… In 2022, Renault announced that a long version of the Austral SUV will be called Espace instead of Austral ! In honor of the deceased minivan, released with great fanfare in 1984. This decision was made to capitalize on the popularity of the Espace name, which sold better than the Austral or ‘Grand Austral’. In addition, the year 2023 is celebrated 40th anniversary of the presentation of the Space concept in November 1983. Thus, it gave Renault the opportunity to continue to bring the name to life and benefit from its fame. Despite the relatively low sales of the fifth generation Espace, Renault continues trust this name. This line has been very successful in the past.
