Espace displays a strong personality: its wide track and sculpted sides suggest power and stability. The interior, an ode to light and discreet elegance, is inspired by contemporary design. The flat floorpan makes many cabin configurations possible. The individual rear seats are installed on long rails that run the full length of the cabin. Temperature control is individual in both the front and rear of the vehicle, while the ergonomy of the seats delivers comfort close to that of a sedan. Espace is one of the safest vehicles on the market. It was awarded 5 stars in the Euro NCAP crash tests and achieved the best score of all the vehicles tested. It is equipped with Emergency Brake Assist plus the latest version of the Electronic Stability Programme with understeer control, as well as ASR traction control. Espace guarantees optimum safety to all its occupants. Passive safety features eight airbags, including thorax airbags in the second row of seats - a first for an MPV.
