Video Summary
The Renault Scenic has transformed from an MPV to a stylish SUV.It has switched petrol power for an electric motor.
The vehicle is based on the same platform as the Megane, and shares much of that car's technology.
There are two battery and motor options available.
The Iconic model, with an 87-kilowatt-hour battery, can officially do 380 miles on a charge.
The interior is familiar to those who've seen the new Renault Megane.
The car has a portrait-oriented infotainment setup with Google integrated software.
There's a wireless charging pad, and lots of space.
Overall quality inside the car is very good.
The base "Techno" model comes with 19-inch wheels, the same 12-inch Google-powered screen as the more expensive models, two-zone climate control, and a heat pump.
Esprit Alpine models have a sportier look with darker details, heated sport seats, and diamond-cut alloy wheels.
The Iconic model gets a Harmon Kardon stereo, 3D cameras, and an electrochromatic glass roof.
The range meter provides a WLTP range, what you've done over the last 60-70 miles, and what you will have available going flat out on the motorway.
It takes approximately 8 seconds to go from 0-62, but drivers still get that desirable EV punch.
The ride is firm but not uncomfortable.
Wind noise is slightly noticeable.
The regen isn't strong enough for one-pedal driving but may be added with an over-the-air software update.
The car drives calmly and composed.
The Megane was good, but the Scenic is better in every way.
