Expected for the start of summer on our roads, the sixth generation of the Renault Espace is preparing to face the headliners of large family SUVs. No more minivans, it’s no longer a mystery! Its rivals are now called Nissan X-Trail, Hyundai Santa Fe, and Skoda Kodiaq, not to mention the Peugeot 5008, no longer very young (it was launched in 2017) but still in great shape. The Lion SUV will also be the number 1 competitor of Espace 6, pending its replacement.
A few months before the first confrontation on the road, it is already possible to oppose them on paper. Technologies, volumes… Supporting figures and technical data sheets, which one presents itself as the future champion of large families? Inevitably, six years apart, it is likely to be seen. Let’s not bury the 5008 so quickly : facing the Austral (of which the Espace is an elongated variant, in broad outline), the Peugeot 3008 held its own without blushing. First duel in pictures.
