Renault Avantime. A name, a destiny

Renault cars have always stood out for their bold and original designs, and the Avantime is perhaps the most striking example of this. In 1984, the French manufacturer’s Espace, a hugely popular MPV, met with considerable success, delivering great sales volumes. The Espace was manufactured, for Renault, by Matra, an aerospace industry specialist that also boasted a strong motor sport tradition. Given the importance of the model, in 1991 Renault decided to introduce a new Espace model, moving the production in house.
