What kind of car is the Renault Avantime?
Renault called the Avantime a “coupéspace”: a blend of coupé and MPV. Its roomy, high-sided cabin met a sweeping roofline, while wide, frameless doors and a large glazed roof gave it a distinctive look. Renault had built its reputation around spacious cars such as the Espace and Scénic; the Avantime brought that roomy approach into a more personal, coupé-style design. Renault designed it and Matra produced it.
