The R-Space is powered by a 900cc turbo three-cylinder mated to a twin-clutch gearbox.

The engine develops 107 bhp (80 kW; 108 PS) and 160 N⋅m (118 lb⋅ft) of torque and features direct-injection and stop start technology and produces just 95g/km of CO2 and averages 76mpg.

As a small family car, the interior incorporated innovative features such as a floating dashboard design and a rear cabin that has been designed for children with motorised cubes that can change into a number of shapes such as a booster seat and a table.

The design is almost similar to the Renault Mégane III, it is a 5-door hatchback (four door, front engine).

The Autofacíl magazine of Spain assumed the car will be released in late 2012, as a successor to the Renault Modus.
