Editing Renault Modus (section)

== Design ==

The Modus used a tall five-door body. Its elevated cabin raised the seating position, while the engine was mounted transversely ahead of the passenger compartment. Power was delivered to the front wheels.

The rear bench was mounted on sliding rails. Renault offered a seating arrangement called the Triptic system, which allowed the bench to be configured for either two or three rear passengers. Moving the bench forward increased luggage capacity, while its rearward positions provided more passenger space.

Early versions could be equipped with the Boot Chute, a small opening in the lower part of the tailgate. It allowed small objects to be placed in the luggage compartment without opening the complete tailgate. The front passenger seat base could also be raised to expose an interior storage compartment.

The 2008 restyle removed the Boot Chute and changed the exterior lighting and body trim. The Grand Modus used the same basic cabin design but had a longer rear body and wheelbase.
