Renault boss Patrick Pelata has admitted that the next Espace has been put on hold because the company is worried that the proposed replacement “wasn’t modern enough”.
“The project we have is not mind-blowing enough,” Pelata admitted to Autocar. “Maybe the Espace is no longer feasible and not going to work. We are currently asking ourselves, 'What will customers really want in 2013?'”
