We get behind the steering wheel of the brand new, full-electric Renault Scenic E-Tech …
The Renault Scenic was reinvented for 2024. It is nothing less from the worthy MPV and a chic crossover of zero emissions-family-crossover-crossover-crossover, European car 2024.
Based on CURB Appeal alone, the new Renault Scenic E-Tech is more than a game for its many competitors, including the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia Ev6, Tesla Model Y, Nissan Ariya, Skoda Enyaq and Peugeot E-3008.
Renault from a very competitive £ 37,495 £ offers the Big Brother from Megane E-Tech two battery options, two power outputs and a selection of three equipment variants (entry level Techno, Sporty Esprit Alpine and even better equipped).
It is certainly stylish with a touch of slanted rear and SUV. The front end is particularly striking with the latest Renault logo within diamonds that merge into the LED headlights.
Other treats such as rinse door handles and large 19-inch or 20-inch alloy wheels help to make this a statement car.
There is also a wow factor inside with a 12.3-inch driver display and a portrait-oriented 12.0-inch center infotainment touchscreen, the Google Slick Tech.
The spacious, noble interior has many storage areas and a 545-liter trunk that extends to impressive 1,670 liters, the rear seats are folded.
A special mention for the rear central armrest, in which cup holders are housed, which also serve as smartphone or tablet holders and two USB-C connections.
There is also a clever glass roof by ‘Solarbay’ on upper specifics. It is indeed a latest sun blind that, in a button from clearly opaque, changes and does not eat in the head.
The processing quality is up there with the best of his competitors. The animal -friendly leather -like seats and most surfaces have a plush feeling, and only if they feel under the lower around these cheaper, scratching plastics.
The picturesque E-Tech also achieves great in terms of sustainability. Renault claims that 24% of the materials used are recycled and 90% of its mass – including the battery – are recyclable.
The standard equipment includes a frameless electrical-chromatic rear view mirror (it can switch to a back screen screen), heated front seats and steering wheel, paddle slide for regenerative brakes, automatic windscreen wipers and a reversing camera.
Driver aid and security kit includes adaptive speed control, traffic and speed mark recognition, attention warning from drivers, warning to gibbing lane, lane -keep assist, emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection and warning Bloind Spot.
The new Renault Scenic E-Tech is available with two battery sizes and only front wheels. The standard area model has a 60 kWh battery with an electric motor of 168 hp and delivers a demanding range of more than 260 miles and a time of 0 to 62 miles per hour of 8.6 seconds.
The larger 87 kWh battery and more powerful 217 hp electric motor have a range of 379 miles, while the sprint of 0-62 miles per hour takes 7.9 seconds.
Fast charging is good, but not outstanding (up to 150 kW for the larger battery and 130 kW for the base), so that a 20-80% boost should take about 30 minutes. On the positive side, the picturesque e-tech is evenly equipped with a heat pump (a function that is often an optional extra), which helps charging, especially at cooler temperatures.
Our test car was a top-of-the-stretch scenic e-tech in iconic trim with the larger 87 kWh battery.
The driving position is on the high side for me, but offers an commanding view of the street in front of the street and there is a lot of attitude for the steering wheel and the seat. Thanks to the large C -pillars and the slim tail window, the visibility of the back is not So hot.
Nevertheless, the picturesque e-tech is blessed with an easy steering, a tight turning circle and many parking aids, which makes it easy to maneuver and drive in the city.
With an immediate torque, it is also quickly off the brand, but not like some other electric vehicles.
The journey is mostly comfortable and is only unsettled on poorer surfaces, while the cabin is refined, which makes it a smooth cruiser.
It is fair to say that it looks more sporty than it is. Although it is not a boring drive, it is not particularly dynamic either. Nevertheless, it manages to remain somewhat flat in demanding corners, and there is a good grip.
Unfortunately, the brakes, like many EVs, are spongy, so there are a lot of dead trips before they bite, which makes it difficult to slow down smoothly.
The “Multi -Sense” input modes (personal, comfort, eco and sport) change the steering weight, the gas reaction and interior lamp lighting, but as always you will be in eco or comfort for the best all -roundin experience and efficiency.
We would have to spend at least one week by car to provide a proper estimate of the real reach, but we would suspect that it is an impressive 310-330 miles in the 87 kWh and on the right of 200 miles. Level model.
Verdict: Stylish, safe, spacious, easy to drive and being well equipped as a standard, the brand new Renault Scenic e-tech is one of the best family EVs on the market.
