Interview with Renaud Martin, Toulouse Montaudran sales advisor
The news at your dealership at the end of the year is the launch of this first Renault fitted van: the SpaceNomad, what can you tell us?
Indeed, with the SpaceNomad, the Renault brand is entering a new segment, that of converted vans, and the Edenauto Renault Toulouse Montaudran site is identified as the specialized and benchmark dealership in the field of converted vehicles in the Toulouse metropolitan area. Designed entirely at Renault in the factory and in collaboration with Pilote for the interior fittings, this vehicle will enable the brand to support the booming leisure vehicle market. The SpaceNomad will become the ideal travel companion.
What are the main advantages of this new Renault vehicle?
Available in two lengths with 5 seats, automatic and manual transmission throughout the range, this SpaceNomad combines the advantages of a leisure vehicle with the comfort of use of an everyday car. In addition, it has an additional heater with the best capacity in the segment to heat and cool up to more than 2,000 m altitude and an autonomy of 8 hours. At its launch at the end of November, this first version is offered in 150 hp and 170 hp. It transforms into a sliding bench in a double bed, but it also has a pop-up roof to provide a double bed in addition. Likewise, the two front seats are swivel. As for him, his kitchen area offers a plate with two burners and a fridge equipped with a freezer. Outside, a large store-awning and a hand shower invite you to wash up with a reserve of 40 liters of water.
Why does Toulouse seem the most appropriate location for the deployment of this type of vehicle?
With the SpaceNomad, we are able to attract a very large clientele, from retirees to young workers. It is a vehicle that can also be used every day of the week but also on weekends. In some cases, it will be the first vehicle in the household because it is not necessarily larger than a minivan. Our Renault Montaudran dealership was chosen to be the only distributor dealership in Greater Toulouse. We thus provide a sales and technical team formed and dedicated to this vehicle. A space is reserved in our showroom to present the product and validate its functionalities. We are able to guarantee and service this vehicle and have already set up trials with customers.
