The list of standard features now includes sport-style upholstery featuring extra side support and Teflon protection and 10 aluminium tracks in the floor enable the interior and boot space to be adapted in line with the number of passengers and amount of luggage. On the outside, the headlights now incorporate LED daytime running lights and the range of seven body colours including the new Pearl Blue. The MPV has also been given new 17-inch alloy wheels. Other options include an opening tailgate window, bi-xenon directional headlights, and a DVD system with two 16.9” screens integrated into the rear of the front headrests. Also, thanks to a surface area of 2.46m2 , the electric panoramic glass sunroof is an extra that means extra light and a better view for all passengers. An optional, lavish Initiale Lux Pack is also available on the top-of-the-range Grand Espace dCi 175 Auto FAP. Among its items are multi-functional TunePoint for portable music players, Carminat TomTom Western Europe mapping, metallic paint, front parking sensors and full leather upholstery. Rounding off its array of features are four rear seats with armrests are fitted in place of five, for even greater levels of space. 2011 Renault Espace MPV Image Renault Espace’s powertrain range has also been modified following the introduction of Euro 5 legislation. The two-litre dCi diesel is available in a choice of two power outputs: dCi 150 and dCi 175, the latter mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. The combined cycle CO2 emissions of the core dCi 150 engine has been reduced by 18g/km from 188g/km to 170g/km, thanks principally to work on combating friction and revised gear ratios. Versions with automatic transmission boast welcome emissions savings, too, and now claim just 189g/km of CO2.
