MPVs were the last scream at the time, but then SUVs and crossover came back with a similar size and their popularity.
Renault assumes that the sales have now reached a plateau, and there is still a lot of mileage in the sponsors. So much so that it launched a fourth generation car (and stretched the seven-seater Grand Scenic siblings).
Since Renault was sold worldwide in 1996, around 6.5 million license plates have been sold. However, the new car is like no other.
The picturesque and great scenic sceneries of £ 21,445 boasts a dramatically characteristic design with sculpted, sneaking styling, a steeply torn windshield and large outstanding 20-inch wheels.
Elsewhere there are important functions that we expected from the ‘Renault Renaissance’, including a maximum euro NCAP crash security assessment of five-star NCAP, a strong mix of economic petrol and diesel engines, excellent packaging, one High -modern packaging, a state -of -the -art assessment of the stay, a state -of -the -art packaging, a state -of -the -art assessment of the Mouse tendency, a state -of -the -art component of art -infotainment system and a classic feeling.
Starting with the interior, the new scenic is a little wider than its predecessor and has a longer wheelbase, which means that there is more space inside.
Always a strong point for every MPV, the scenic does not disappoint with plenty of space at the front and back (while you check the rear head space to wear larger passengers), and in the trunk there are 572 liters of class leaders or 1554 liters with down seat sitting (there is a simple “one touch” operation that can be activated from the boot or via the touchscreen).
The Grand Scenic is similar, just a little longer and with a third row of seats, although you have to say that these are really only for small children. There are 189 liters of trunk with the third row of seats – 596 with below.
Both in the picturesque and in the Grand Scenic, the back seat of NIFTY Little Falt-Down picnic tables are available for passengers.
The lower part of the center console also slides back into the back seat. It is certainly different, but we are not 100% sure why. Yes, there is a bit of space in advance, but maybe the main reason is to separate children a little in the back or only give them additional storage and closer USB connections. Who knows?
What we know is that the interior is bathed in light and that the visibility is excellent in length thanks to the hectare glass, the enormous windshield and an optional (defined) panoramic leak.
The seats are very comfortable and the driving position is high, which are suitable for SUV and crossover buyers. The picturesque scene is also slightly higher than the outgoing model.
The Binnacle dominates a large center in front of the driver, while Renault’s excellent R-Link 2-Infotainment system with a generous 8.7-inch portrait touchscreen, which can be seen for the first time in the new megane, with full Has connectivity.
There are four equipment variant (Expression+, Dynamique NAV, Dynamique S NAV and Signature NAV) and all variants receive air conditioning systems, electrical windows, DAB radio and automatic emergency braking.
The list of other options and driver security aids is extensive and ranges from adaptive speed control to a fantastic Bose sound system.
The engines available at the start include two 1.2-liter petrol units (115 hp and 130 hp) as well as a 1.5-liter 1.5 liter 11 hp and a 1.6-liter diesel (130 hp and 160 PS). These are paired with a six-speed manual transmission, while some also benefit from an automatic box with two coupling.
The petrol units are both capable of 48.7 MPG with CO2 emissions of 129/g/km.
The most economical engine of all is the 110 hp diesel, which can reach 72.4 MPG on paper and only radiates 100 g/km CO2. However, if you don’t want to take things a leisurely, it can be a little breathless.
Our selection of the drive trains is the 130-hp-1,6-liter diesel in the dynamique navigation cladding, which is the best mix between performance and business, although unfortunately it is only available with a six-speed manual transmission.
It can reach 62 km/h in 11.4 seconds from still quiet (feels faster), will continue at a top speed of 118 km/h, but can manage 61.6 MPG and output a low 119 g/km CO2.
The engine pulls well and sets off well, although it does not appear as sophisticated as in the megane under acceleration.
The steering is light and despite these huge wheels, the journey is pleasant enough, although it certainly does not compensate for all bumps on the street. Body Lean is well controlled in corners, but in general this is a car for comfort and not in the country roads.
Verdict: The new scene scenes have against some impressive competitors, including Citroen C4 Picasso, Ford C-Max and Kia Careens, so he has to score high. The good news for Renault is that it is an impressive, well-built all-round package.
Generously equipped, spacious, safe, stylish and some SUV elements integrated, it was really reinvented for a new generation.
Top tip: If you choose a picturesque selection, choose the lively honey yellow color.
