Five-seat versions offer 692 litres with the sliding second row fully back, rising to 943 litres when slid forward, and expand to 2224 litres with the seats folded.

The cabin feels spacious and modular for family use, with a sliding second-row bench offering up to 321 mm knee room and four recline angles for long trips. New front seats give better side and shoulder support. Higher trims add power adjustment, heating and driver lumbar massage. Laminated glass and better door seals cut noise. The large optional Solarbay roof lets in light or goes opaque in segments for thermal comfort without a blind. Two-zone climate control is standard and more responsive.

The sole powertrain is a self-charging full hybrid E-Tech combining a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine with two electric motors for 200 hp total. Official WLTP combined consumption sits between 4.6 and 5.0 l/100 km depending on version, giving a claimed range of up to 1,100 km from the 55-litre tank. Real-world figures typically run a little higher but remain economical for a large family SUV.
Servicing uses Renault’s connected system. The My Renault app shows the maintenance schedule, predicts brake and battery wear, and lets you book appointments. Firmware updates arrive over the air so software stays current without a workshop visit. Exact oil-change intervals are set in the vehicle’s maintenance booklet.
Safety kit is extensive as standard. The car carries a five-star Euro NCAP rating from the platform tests. Equipment includes automatic emergency braking that works with pedestrians, cyclists and intersections, lane-keeping and blind-spot systems, traffic-sign recognition, fatigue detection and an advanced eCall. Higher trims add 4Control Advanced four-wheel steering for sharper low-speed handling. Up to seven airbags protect occupants.
Day-to-day ownership is helped by the power tailgate, keyless entry and the large modular boot that expands from roughly 700 litres to over 2,000 litres. Remote climate and vehicle-status checks via the app reduce surprise garage visits.
