The RENAULT GRAND ESPACE (2003-12) 5DR MPV 2.2 DCI 150 EXPRESSION AUTO 7-SEAT is a large, seven-seat people carrier rather than an SUV or conventional estate. It sits in the family MPV market, offering space-focused practicality for buyers who need to carry children, friends or luggage, without moving to a van-like vehicle. With a 2.2-litre diesel engine and automatic transmission, this Expression is aimed at relaxed family journeys and regular longer trips; its seven seats make it useful for larger households, school runs and holidays. Compared with smaller MPVs, the Grand Espace is notably roomy and comfortable, while its distinctive, airy cabin gives it a more spacious feel than many rivals. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 17 look-ups across 14 VINs, so these figures are a guide, not a complete market picture. The checked cars averaged 87,000 miles, 6,000 miles a year and nearly four previous keepers; average private-sale valuation was £1,100.
