Renault Scenic E-Tech Review
Pros:
Stylish Design: Sleek front headlights and a modern gradient-effect grille.
Practical Interior: Ample storage, adjustable front seats, and spacious rear suitable for child seats. The boot offers 545 liters of space.
Responsive Infotainment: Quick and intuitive infotainment system with physical climate control buttons.
Electric Range: Two battery options with ranges up to 260 miles (60kWh) and 379 miles (87kWh). Real-world range slightly lower.
Fast Charging: Up to 150kW for the larger battery and 130kW for the smaller. AC charging at 22kW.
Value for Money: Competitively priced, starting around £33,087.
Cons:
Driving Experience: Unintuitive brakes and steering, poor rear visibility, and noisy at higher speeds.
Interior Quality: Some cheap materials and inconsistent quality.
Boot Access: High bumper and deep lip make loading heavy items tricky.
Limited Warranty: Standard 3-year or 100,000 miles warranty, less than some competitors.
Verdict
The Renault Scenic E-Tech is a stylish and practical electric SUV offering good value, but it falls short in driving comfort and interior quality.
