Renault Espace

To complement the Espace’s modern exterior, there’s a high-tech interior with a futuristic dash that’s dominated by a large digital display. It’s a minimalist design with little in the way of switchgear on show, largely because many of the controls are either hidden from view or sited on the driver’s door trim. So it’s a shame that there’s an element of style over substance because while it looks superb, it’s not all that easy to use. Not so with the seating though, which can be arranged in all sorts of ways, including swivelling the two front seats round to face the back. All the seats are comfortable too, so it’s a shame that space is at a premium when travelling seven-up.
