| Fuel tank capacity: | 54 litres | 83 litres | |
| Ground clearance: | 164 mm (6.5 inches) | 175 mm (6.9 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Renault Espace can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. Note, however, that this Renault Espace version does not have 4x4 drive, which is very important in poor road conditions. | |||
