About this episode

Explore the innovative yet polarizing story of the Renault Avantime, the world's first and only "coupéspace." Produced between 2001 and 2003, this daring vehicle combined the practicality of a minivan with the elegance of a coupé. Discover its unique design elements, such as frameless windows, a panoramic glass roof, and its infamous double-hinged doors. Uncover why the Avantime was both a visionary design and a commercial failure, ultimately leading to the closure of Matra's factory. Despite its short-lived production, the Avantime remains a collector's item and a testament to automotive audacity.
