TL;DR Summary: CarExpert evaluates the new Renault Scenic E-Tech, praising its standout exterior styling, premium Google Automotive infotainment, surprisingly supple ride even on 20-inch wheels, and unobtrusive ADAS calibration, while criticizing poor rear toe room, a low-resolution 360-degree camera, wind buffeting at speed, and high pricing without a frunk.
Key Pros 👍
- Standout design and distinct interior personality with high-quality textured materials and fabrics. „from a design point of view, I genuinely think this looks fantastic... This on the other hand looks so cool and unique. Like they've really just gone to a lot of effort here to really just give this a you know, a bit of personality and a bit of bit of a vibe.” ▶️ 00:03:04
- Smooth and snappy Google Automotive infotainment system supporting native Play Store apps along with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. „They've got Renault doing the car stuff, but Google Automotive here for the tech. The big advantage of this is that Google is responsible for that stack... you can add apps that are available in the Google Play Store... Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. They are wireless.” ▶️ 00:05:37
- Remarkably compliant and well-damped suspension tuning that manages bumpy road surfaces smoothly despite massive 20-inch alloy wheels. „The ride is actually really good. And it's probably one of the the surprising things to me that they've been able to make a car that, you know, is on 20-in alloy wheels, ride really nicely, which is um which is surprising. So, it's got a sporty edge to it, but it just doesn't feel overdone or or too rough.” ▶️ 00:15:13
- Expertly calibrated driver assist systems that function smoothly without continuous, annoying acoustic warnings. „you may have noticed that I haven't had to turn any annoying safety stuff off. So, with everything just in its standard setting, it's not beeping at me, annoying me. It's got a driver monitor, all that sort of stuff. Shows you when you put in a little bit of effort into tuning these ADAS systems that it makes a world of difference” ▶️ 00:20:03
Key Cons 👎
- Extremely compromised rear passenger toe room caused by high battery floor placement under the front seats. „knee room is excellent. Toe room is woeful. I can't even like wedge my toes under there. You've got hard floor because of the battery, but yeah, toe room's not very good.” ▶️ 00:09:24
- Disappointing low-resolution 360-degree parking camera that looks noticeably grainy. „Oh, that is a shocker. That is definitely not very good quality. So sort of low res. Really weird. I don't know. In this day and age when technology like this is so cheap, I just don't understand how you can have a camera that looks like that.” ▶️ 00:07:23
- Noticeable aerodynamic wind buffeting around the wing mirrors when traveling at highway cruising speeds. „actual noise from the tires isn't that bad. It's more just wind noise. I'm noticing that at sort of highway speed, you are getting a lot of buffeting noise from from the wing mirrors and and the sort of other bits around the car.” ▶️ 00:18:06
🎯 Verdict: The Renault Scenic E-Tech is a stylish and refreshing alternative to ubiquitous electric crossovers, featuring fantastic Google-based infotainment, supple suspension tuning, and polite driver assists, though tight rear toe room, high pricing, and a lack of front storage compromise its practicality.

TL;DR Summary: Mat Watson from carwow reviews the fourth-generation Renault Scenic and Grand Scenic MPVs, praising their daring concept-car aesthetics with standard 20-inch wheels, one-touch electric seat folding, and clever family cabin storage, while critiquing rubbery steering feedback, a sluggish automatic gearbox, and tight third-row accommodations.
Key Pros 👍
- Striking concept-car exterior styling featuring standard 20-inch alloy wheels with bespoke tall-sidewall tires preserving pliant ride softness „They try to make this new scenix seem as much like a concept car as possible... one of the ways they've done that is by giving it huge Wheels you get 20 in as standard... considering this car is riding on 20-in rims the suspension is still nice and soft” ▶️ 00:00:31
- Effortless one-touch electric seat folding mechanism controllable individually or simultaneously via boot buttons or front infotainment „this car is one of the easiest to operate seating systems of any MPV it really is as simple as this one typ... you can lower the seats electrically by pressing these buttons you just press them in and they just fall down look at that all dead easy to use” ▶️ 00:01:55
- Clever family-focused interior modularity boasting underfloor compartments, a sliding center drawer, and built-in rear iPad tablet tables „you get a glove box that's huge and it slides like a drawer put some food in there and an iPad... everyone has some extra storage underneath their feet there you go and then you've got these tray tables and this why I needed the iPad because the special ridges put in there specifically to hold an iPad” ▶️ 00:04:30
- Comprehensive 5-star Euro NCAP safety package including standard pedestrian-detecting autonomous emergency braking „Euro enap has awarded this car a full five-star safety rating it comes as standard with autonomous emergency braking and that includes pedestrian detection which is a first in this class as standard” ▶️ 00:03:42
Key Cons 👎
- Vague and rubbery steering calibration offering little communicative road feel through corners „one problem I do have though is the steering it's it's all just kind of rubbery and vague” ▶️ 00:05:26
- Sluggish automated dual-clutch transmission response that hesitates during decisive gear changes „the only problem is you can only get it with a six-speed automatic and it's it's all right the automatic sometimes a bit slow to respond in fact I'm not that Keen on renault's manuals either” ▶️ 00:01:43
- Cramped third-row seating space restricted to small children and lacking side curtain airbag protection „head rooms bearable and it's all right in the back really any for kids though... if I do have one complaint though is the fact that you can't get curtain airbags for the third row so it's kind of like St the people in the back” ▶️ 00:02:37
🎯 Verdict: The fourth-generation Renault Scenic injects welcome style and concept-car flair into the MPV segment with standard 20-inch wheels and ingenious electric folding seats, delivering a compelling family midpoint between the quirky Citroën Grand C4 Picasso and the sterile VW Touran despite vague steering.

TL;DR Summary: CarGurus UK reviews the 2024 Renault Scenic E-Tech Iconic (87 kWh), praising its genuine 300+ mile summer motorway range, market-leading Google OpenR Link interface with one-touch ADAS deactivation, and supple ride comfort, while identifying an awkward boot lip drop and crowded steering column stalks.
Key Pros 👍
- Stout real-world motorway touring range achieving 300 to 310 miles from the 87 kWh battery at 3.4 mi/kWh in brisk summer driving „we're seeing around about 3.4 m per KW hour in a lot of Summer fairly fast Motorway driving and that's good for around about 300 to 310 m per charge” ▶️ 00:08:09
- Intuitive physical 'My Safety' shortcut button enabling rapid two-tap deactivation of intrusive driver assist warnings in under a second „Renault has a fantastic system so you can save your safety uh settings so you can choose to have Lan keeper assist off... and then when you get in the car... there is a physical button here next to the steering wheel you hit it once twice to confirm done what's that half a second less than a second no faffing in the screen brilliant” ▶️ 00:05:40
- Exemplary Google-powered OpenR Link infotainment system offering dependable native Google Maps EV route planning and tactile physical HVAC keys „this really big touchcreen here which I think is one of the best in the class because it's got the Google inbuilt uh apps and Google Maps all of that stuff it is brilliant... physical airon buttons thank you Rena” ▶️ 00:03:27
- Remarkable standard specification on the entry Techno trim undercutting key crossover competitors while including a standard heat pump and heated seats „even the entry-level techno model gets 19-in allo Wheels a heat pump reversing camera metallic paint automatic LED lights keyless entry tree heated front seats adaptive cruise control and more we would definitely go for the Techno model” ▶️ 00:01:22
Key Cons 👎
- Substantial drop-over threshold into a deep cargo well compromising practicality when lifting heavy luggage or transporting pets „the boot is pretty decent so you got 545 l of uh boot space but and it's big but a lot of that space is in the depth of this boot... if you got dogs and stuff big drop down over the lip that's not so ideal” ▶️ 00:02:27
- Cluttered right-side steering column ergonomics where multiple stalks create occasional confusion between gear engagement and wipers „it is a bit annoying that you've got a million different stalks on this side all on the right hand side of the steering wheel including gear indicators and all your audio plus there's paddles for regen so it's all just a bit too easy turn your winds screen wipers on when you're going for reverse” ▶️ 00:04:24
- Vulnerable pale textured upholstery on the flagship Iconic model that easily attracts stains from young family passengers „these pale seats that you get in the iconic are uh every parents nightmare so if you've got little kids particularly stick with one of the lower trims that get standard kind of leatherette finish that's much more WIP clean” ▶️ 00:04:08
🎯 Verdict: The 2024 Renault Scenic E-Tech firmly justifies its European Car of the Year crown, delivering genuine 300-mile touring capability, market-leading Google infotainment, and plush long-distance composure at a price point that undercuts mainstream electric crossover rivals.

TL;DR Summary: Rivervale reviews the 2025 Renault Scenic E-Tech Esprit Alpine (87 kWh), praising its striking diamond styling, 381-mile claimed range, integrated Google infotainment with destination charge estimation, and cavernous 545-liter boot, while criticizing plastic steering stalks, only one front cupholder, lack of rear climate controls, and mediocre standard audio.
Key Pros 👍
- Striking and modern exterior styling with flush pop-out door handles, diamond grille detailing, and 20-inch diamond-cut alloys. „As you approach the car with the key in your pocket, they automatically pop out. And then when you're emotional, the car is locked. They do fold flush... On the Esprit LP model, you get these really nice diamond cut alloy wheels, which are quite unusual, actually, in, an electric cars.” ▶️ 00:01:25
- Smooth Google Maps infotainment integration providing accurate arrival state-of-charge predictions and built-in charge planning. „So what I love actually about this is that it actually fully integrated, this Google Maps system. And so it tells me not only my arrival time, but it also tells me the battery percentage, what I'm going to arrive with so it can help me then plan my charging trips en route, which is fantastic.” ▶️ 00:12:36
- Practical, cavernous luggage capacity of 545 liters with dedicated underfloor cable storage and a power tailgate. „Electric power tailgate. The boot is cavernous with up to 545l. When the seats are up and then 1670 liters when the rear seats are folded down. Plus we've got the little flap you can pull up to keep things like your, charging cable or punch repair kits” ▶️ 00:03:08
- Plush city ride quality and composed handling backed by customizable Multi-Sense drive and steering weight modes. „The suspension on this thing's great in and around the town. It handles the bumps beautifully. And then when we get out onto the twisty turny roads you can really throw this thing around. And it it holds the road extremely well. That's helped by that longer wheelbase and the suspension setup.” ▶️ 00:09:07
Key Cons 👎
- Cheap-feeling steering column stalks and an awkward satellite pod for audio volume behind the wheel. „I think the thing that lets this car down, a little bit of the stalks, they just feel a bit cheap. And plus I appreciate they are made of plastic, but they just feel a little bit cheap and plasticky... And one of the things I dislike about Renaults a little bit is the fact that they've got the audio controls on a little stalk that's sort of hidden behind the steering wheel.” ▶️ 00:09:39
- Flawed front cabin storage offering only a single cupholder and lacking independent rear climate control switches. „Slightly disappointingly, this does only have one cup holder in the front... You've got independent dual zone climate control here. It's not tri zone so the rear doesn't have independent heating controls. that's perhaps one little feature that might have been a nice touch in a car designed for families.” ▶️ 00:06:31
- Underwhelming standard sound system on lower trims that lacks depth compared to the top-tier Harman Kardon setup. „this particular model slightly disappointing in terms of the sound system. For standard sound system, it's not bad. It's not the worst, but it's just, no packing the punch that I've heard from other cars with standard sound systems.” ▶️ 00:14:02
🎯 Verdict: The 2025 Renault Scenic E-Tech is a well-priced, handsome, and remarkably practical electric family crossover offering genuine 300+ mile capability, intuitive Google tech, and generous boot space, with only minor cabin ergonomic quibbles and cheap column stalks detracting from an otherwise stellar package.

TL;DR Summary: SMC Motor Group explores why the all-electric Renault Scenic E-Tech won European Car of the Year 2024, examining its heritage, 379-mile range, segment-leading rear legroom, segmented Solarbay roof, and intuitive Google OpenR Link infotainment with physical climate toggles.
Key Pros 👍
- Best-in-class rear knee room (278 mm) beating the VW ID.4 and Tesla Model Y, paired with the ingenious modular rear armrest. „in the old car I would have had 212 mm of knee room which has obviously been improved with this one up at 278 comparing that to the vw4 that only has 226 and the X Motor Company's model y only has 249 mm and that's a d segment car in the class above” ▶️ 00:17:36
- Revolutionary Solarbay polymer-dispersed liquid crystal panoramic roof that opacifies in segments without robbing headroom. „It's called solar Bay and it's been developed with st gobain secet... it allows you to pacify or clear the glass above me... but what differentiates this car from those more expensive models is the ability to do it in sections... and that's without taking up any Headroom like traditional sunroofs” ▶️ 00:10:00
- Intuitive OpenR Link infotainment powered by Android Automotive with built-in Google Maps battery preconditioning and tactile physical climate toggles. „it knows that I'm not going to be able to do that on a single charge so it suggests where I need to charge and for how long for and as I'm driving towards that charging station the car is preconditioning the battery... Whoever thought that was a good idea quite honestly deserves a medal because that is just brilliant the fact that I can just change my climate settings while I'm driving without having to take my eyes off the road” ▶️ 00:11:43
- Convenient 'My Safety' custom shortcut button that disengages mandatory intrusive acoustic alerts with two quick taps. „what Runner have done is they allow you to configure what Safety Systems you want on and off and then using this button down here if I press it twice it then configures the car to the Safety Systems as I I prefer them so every time I get in the car press that button twice and it's all sorted” ▶️ 00:14:44
Key Cons 👎
- High-speed motorway cruising efficiency noticeably reduces the official 379-mile WLTP theoretical range. „you'll get 379 Mi on a wtp cycle now I grant you you're not going to get that kind of range if you're going on the motorway” ▶️ 00:20:14
- Front-wheel-drive platform prioritizes plush ride comfort over sharp hot-hatch dynamics or sports car agility. „out on the road I can confirm Porsche tyan this car isn't if you want a hot hatch go buy them again” ▶️ 00:18:36
🎯 Verdict: The Renault Scenic E-Tech rightfully earned European Car of the Year 2024 honors by transforming into a spacious, comfortable family crossover boasting up to 379 miles of range, clever Solarbay glass tech, class-leading rear legroom, and effortless Google-powered usability at an accessible price point.

TL;DR Summary: Battery Life summarizes his two-week, 2,000-km loan with the Renault Scenic E-Tech (87 kWh), praising its fast-booting infotainment, rapid cabin warm-up, persistent regen memory, and relaxed highway lane assist, while criticizing sluggish off-the-line acceleration, front-wheel wheelspin under steering lock, wildly inaccurate arrival state-of-charge predictions, and unreliable companion app connectivity.
Key Pros 👍
- Convenient start-and-drive ergonomics that remember paddle regen settings and feature a double-click ADAS silence shortcut „it remembers the regen level you can set it from very low to very high I think five steps with the pedal shifters on the steering wheel and it remembers that you don't have to do it again it's amazing... you just press on the left a button twice and the settings are on done” ▶️ 00:00:50
- Relaxed and smooth highway lane centering and capacitive steering wheel detection „on the highway it's amazing and it doesn't bug me that's the most amazing thing it recognizes My Touch even if I just touch it the steering wheel slightly it takes a long time till I get a warning hey touch the steering wheel until I get a sound” ▶️ 00:01:51
- Fast and energy-efficient cabin heating that warms occupants in cold ambient conditions within minutes „The heating in this car it's extremely fast and it seems like it's efficient so I don't know why in other cars Volkswagen I need 23° to feel warm and in this car it can be 20° and it feel warm and it doesn't seem like it needs more energy for the heating” ▶️ 00:02:43
Key Cons 👎
- Sluggish standstill launch acceleration and front-wheel drive traction loss when turning under power „the power from the stand still is horrible... you floor it when you floow it a bit uh when you're not steering exactly straight then you feel something in your steering you get spinning wheels when you do that and rear wheel drive is just better” ▶️ 00:04:05
- Unreliable arrival state-of-charge navigation calculations that fluctuate wildly by more than 10 percent „The state of charge that Google says you will arrive at the destination in my long distance trip it was always wrong always the same direction it was always way too low than it was at the end and it switched around so I had 6% arrival at the next Charger then it was 0% then it was 4% and then I arrived with 18% in the end” ▶️ 00:06:15
- Fiddly motorized flush door handles that retract prematurely and require awkward manual button presses „The door handles that they pop out I never like this on any car... The problem is when you are around the car and you don't lock it at some point they're going to go in and then you have to press this button here so you can do it and it's just annoying” ▶️ 00:05:45
🎯 Verdict: After 2,000 km of real-world testing, the Renault Scenic E-Tech proves to be an endearing and comfortable family electric cruiser with efficient climate heating and intuitive tech, despite dull launch acceleration, front wheelspin, and buggy arrival state-of-charge forecasts.

TL;DR Summary: Parkers names the Renault Scenic E-Tech Long Range (87 kWh) its Overall Car of the Year 2025, praising its nimble sub-1.9-tonne curb weight, genuine 300-mile range, whisper-quiet cabin insulation, and physical HVAC buttons, while noting slight lateral body rocking on scarred motorway asphalt and fiddly flush door handles.
Key Pros 👍
- Nimble B-road agility and composure aided by a relatively light sub-1.9-tonne curb weight undercutting heavy electric SUV rivals by up to 200 kg „it's fairly light by EV standards, weighing somewhere between 1,800 and,900 kg. For reference, the longest range Scoda Enyak can weigh as much as 2 tons, while the equivalent Peugeot E30008 is more than 2.1 tons. That means the scenic suspension isn't being asked to control as much mass, which means it's far more eager to be flung down a twisty B-roll.” ▶️ 00:06:21
- Stout real-world 300-mile endurance paired with exceptional finance value that undercuts segment competitors „Honestly, it's such a cracking allrounder. 300 miles of range, good to drive, loads of space, comfortable most of the time, and you can get one on finance for less than 220 quid a month. If you're shopping for a family car, why would you bother with anything else?” ▶️ 00:21:34
- Physical climate rocker buttons offering safer and simpler on-the-move adjustments compared to distracting touchscreen menus in German rivals „Look, you get physical buttons for the climate controls, which is a really rare thing these days. They're far easier and far safer to use than the idiotic touchscreen controls you get in the Volkswagen ID 5 and the Ford Capri.” ▶️ 00:02:55
- Serene motorway acoustic refinement with near-silent motor operation and subdued road and aerodynamic wind noise „There's barely a peep from the tires. The electric motor's damn near silent and there's not a lot of wind noise whipping around the pillars.” ▶️ 00:08:09
Key Cons 👎
- Slight lateral rocking sensation over consecutive high-frequency bumps and poorly surfaced motorway stretches „the suspension is really good at keeping the body upright in corners and shruging off sharp bumps, but it can get caught out when you drive it over lots of imperfections one after another. Get this thing on a badly surfaced motorway and the entire car will rock gently from side to side” ▶️ 00:06:53
- Fiddly flush exterior door handle design that proves slightly irritating to operate manually when retracted „Those door handles are also a bit irritating to open, but that's about it.” ▶️ 00:09:21
- Absence of a flagship high-output dual-motor all-wheel-drive performance variant to challenge models like the Škoda Enyaq vRS „If I had to nitpick, I guess Renault's competitor brands offer sportier trim levels and more powerful motors on the electric family SUVs. Cars like the Scoda Enyak VRS and Volkswagen ID4 GTX” ▶️ 00:09:08
🎯 Verdict: Parkers rightly names the Renault Scenic E-Tech Long Range its Overall Car of the Year 2025, celebrating its rare ability to deliver genuine 300-mile usability, lightweight dynamic agility, and family-first ergonomics at a genuinely affordable price point.

TL;DR Summary: Marek Drives evaluates the Renault Scenic E-Tech Iconic Long Range, praising its striking proportions, practical 22 kW onboard AC charging capability, innovative Solarbay roof, and clever rear tablet-holding armrest, while criticizing its aggressive DC fast-charge taper, clunky Android Automotive quirks, and compromised rear visibility.
Key Pros 👍
- Rare 22 kW AC onboard charger enabling rapid, budget-friendly public destination charging during shopping or cultural visits „it's got an onboard AC charger which can accept 22 KW so during a Museum tour or on a longer shopping stop you don't have to pay extra for DC charging and you're not occupying a plug which someone else might need more than you” ▶️ 00:04:47
- Cleverly engineered rear seat armrest featuring configurable holders for smartphones and shared tablet viewing alongside USB-C ports „the most interesting thing are these foldout cup holder mobile device holders where you can mount your device either at a 45° angle so only you can see it or perpendicular maybe even in two of these if it's a larger tablet so both passengers can watch the same thing” ▶️ 00:06:05
- Smart Solarbay electrochromic glass roof saving up to 8 kg of weight while boosting rear passenger headroom by 3 cm „the panoramic solar Bay roof is A500 option but it brightens up the interior by using variable opacity solution Renault Engineers say they gained about 3 cm of Headroom versus traditional blind mechanism and also no blind mechanism saves between 6 and 8 kg” ▶️ 00:05:36
- Solid real-world warm-weather touring range exceeding high 300 km on highways and dropping as low as 15 kWh/100 km in town „in the city I managed to get as low as 15 KW hours per 100 km... on a warm summer day the range is in the high 300s and it's achievable especially since renault's stateof charge at destination estimate is very conservative” ▶️ 00:13:29
Key Cons 👎
- Steep DC fast charging drop-off dipping below 100 kW by 60% SoC and requiring nearly 40 minutes for a 15 to 80 percent refill „the peak is relatively early in the charging curve so by 60% state of charge you're below 100 kilow Renault says charging from 15 to 80% takes almost 40 minutes and from what I saw on the display the last 20% would take 50 minutes” ▶️ 00:16:30
- Confusing Android Automotive software fragmentation causing frustrating friction between phone mirroring and native Google EV route navigation „for some reason Android auto is still present within Android automotive... Android auto doesn't have root planning with charging which is quite important in an EV meanwhile navigating through Android automotive means I can't pick up phones in Android auto” ▶️ 00:07:23
- Severely restricted rearward visibility due to fixed rear headrests and diffused glass roof glare washing out the digital camera rear-view mirror „visibility is poor in general due to thick eight pillars and those headrests in the back which don't fold or go down any lower... the problem with rear visibility can be solved using the virtual rear viw mirror but uh here I encountered another problem on a sunny day diffused light coming in through the panoramic roof makes the screen difficult to see” ▶️ 00:11:55
🎯 Verdict: The Renault Scenic E-Tech Long Range succeeds in reinventing the traditional family MPV into a stylish and spacious electric crossover boasting class-leading 22 kW AC charging, though long-distance road trips reveal frustrating software frictions and early DC fast-charging throttling.

TL;DR Summary: Robert Llewellyn evaluates the Renault Scenic E-Tech Long Range (87 kWh), praising its polite and non-intrusive driver assists, genuine 300+ mile range, whisper-quiet cabin acoustics, and clever rear-seat device armrest, while noting high energy consumption compared to Tesla and an easily confused wiper stalk.
Key Pros 👍
- Polite, non-intrusive driver assistance and lane-keeping calibration using subtle haptic steering wheel pulses rather than harsh beeps. „all the little bits of driver assistance it gives are helpful not annoying and that is really clever bit of this is I'm talking about the the the tech in this car... this does the same thing but it does it with very subtle vibrations on the steering wheel no beeping” ▶️ 00:02:11
- Huge 87 kWh usable battery pack delivering dependable real-world endurance well exceeding 300 miles, virtually eliminating range anxiety. „this has a range of well over 300 M regardless what a development in those 12 years and what an amazing car... 87 K battery so you know the range is just not there's no such thing as range in these cars anymore” ▶️ 00:00:23
- Ingenious modular rear center armrest featuring slide-out tablet and smartphone cradles with integrated dual USB-C ports. „the console between the two rear seats very nice very nice two cup holders there two USBC ports down there... so you're on a long drive the kids are getting Moody you put them in the back you put a movie on your phone or I or you know your your tablet... this is genius” ▶️ 00:07:34
- Serene acoustic insulation making the cabin exceptionally quiet even at sustained motorway cruising speeds. „it's a really quiet car inside even on the motorway when I was at at Motorway speeds it's not it's a I'd say this is quieter than a Tesla” ▶️ 00:10:24
Key Cons 👎
- Relatively high energy consumption averaging only 3.7 to 3.8 miles per kWh in warm weather compared to class-leading Tesla efficiency. „I've only managed to get 3.8 the moment it's at 3.7 you know so it is it is a thirsty vehicle and I mean if there's one comparison with say a Tesla Model Y is they are just staggeringly efficient” ▶️ 00:04:13
- Clustered right-hand steering column stalks causing repeated accidental wiper activation when trying to select Drive or Reverse. „I have used the wipers now about 40 times when I'm trying to put it into gear so that's wipers and that's putting in drive so that you'd get used to it but I have made that mistake” ▶️ 00:05:40
🎯 Verdict: The Renault Scenic E-Tech Long Range proves that practical family electric crossovers have matured, pairing well over 300 miles of range, polite driver assists, and serene motorway acoustics with family-friendly rear entertainment solutions at a substantial discount against the Tesla Model Y.

TL;DR Summary: Drive.com.au reviews the 2026 Renault Scenic E-Tech Esprit Alpine (87 kWh), highlighting its avant-garde exterior styling, dual-screen Google navigation integration, practical rear multimedia armrest, and non-intrusive European ADAS calibration, while pointing out an unnatural grabby brake pedal feel, body roll from soft suspension, crowded steering column stalks, and tight rear toe room.
Key Pros 👍
- Avant-garde exterior design and distinct geometric styling that stands out against generic electric crossovers. „As you can see, there's lots of nice sharp pointy lines, which make it look a little bit different to other electric cars on the market at the moment... other electric cars just seem to have that rounded nothing going on, very minimalist design. They've gone a little bit more maximalist.” ▶️ 00:01:23
- Innovative dual-screen navigation mapping allowing simultaneous Apple CarPlay / Waze and native Google Maps displays. „I've got this gorgeous full-color display up on the dash here, where I can use my Apple CarPlay maps on here. Say, I want to use Waze... but I can also have Apple Maps up here, and I can have a nice accurate navigation system right here while having a different system here. Honestly, I'm surprised no one else has thought of that yet” ▶️ 00:02:25
- Well-calibrated, polite European driver assistance systems that avoid irritating acoustic alarms and chime fatigue. „Something that electric cars have sort of always struggled with is overbearing driver monitoring systems, overbearing warning systems. Renault have put specific focus on making sure that this is European-style ADAS, which I do respect... it's not being It's not bonging. Same with if I exceed the speed limit a little bit, it's not beeping its head off.” ▶️ 00:02:00
- Clever modular rear center armrest with integrated device cradles and dedicated USB-C connectivity for passengers. „Open this up, we've got enough space for a small tablet with two USB-C ports there. Even stranger, it's little DJ sections here, where you can sort of slide your phone in there, and you can watch your videos or sit there, have it playing whatever you want. It just makes sense.” ▶️ 00:05:15
Key Cons 👎
- Grabby and unnatural brake pedal modulation when friction braking blends in outside of one-pedal mode. „the second you take it off regen, and you have to use that manual brake pedal, it just seems to have this strange feel where if you can see there, I'm pressing it, and I'm darting forward, just doesn't feel all that natural. That's something that I don't think I could get used to because I just can't seem to find a comfortable bite point” ▶️ 00:08:44
- Overly cluttered steering column with four overlapping levers causing ergonomic confusion. „if you look around the steering wheel here, we've actually got four levers. We've got one for indicator there, got our wipers, got our gear selector, and then we've got a music selector... it just looks strange to have so many things clouding the steering wheel up and around... they should have just moved this shifter down somewhere else” ▶️ 00:02:53
- Noticeable body roll and front-end understeer during energetic cornering due to soft damping paired with an ultra-quick steering rack. „I believe that the springs are a little bit softly sprung, which means that you get quite a bit of body roll through the turns... that short-ratio steering rack does make these forces of me turning into a corner a little bit too sharply accentuate the fact that it does have softer suspension and maybe some less aggressive sway bars that cause the car to roll” ▶️ 00:09:37
🎯 Verdict: The 2026 Renault Scenic E-Tech is a charming, eccentric, and technically sophisticated family EV offering over 600 km of WLTP range, clever cabin touches, and unobtrusive driver aids, held back only by grabby brake pedal modulation, a crowded steering column, and soft body control in dynamic driving.

TL;DR Summary: AutoEV pitches the Ford Explorer against the Renault Scenic E-Tech, declaring the Scenic the decisive winner due to its compliant suspension, superior cabin sound insulation, richer standard equipment (standard heat pump and Solarbay roof), and unbeatable value, while noting the Ford's faster straight-line acceleration and slightly higher SUV seating vantage.
Key Pros 👍
- Far more sophisticated suspension damping that soaks up road imperfections without chassis shudder „The suspension setup on the Scenic is way superior to the Ford. There's just a lot more compliancy in the dampers. You can really feel them soak the bumps up a lot more.” ▶️ 01:00:46
- Exceptional cabin acoustic insulation delivering markedly lower tire and wind noise than the Explorer „when you do get up onto a smoother part of the road, the refinement is off the chart. You know, there's a really nice uh it's a nice quiet car to drive. There's a much less road noise uh from the scenic than you get in the Ford.” ▶️ 01:01:19
- Significant pricing and standard equipment advantage including standard heat pump and Solarbay smart glass „So4 grand for the Renault or 53 for the equivalent Explorer by the time you've speced it up to the standard spec of the Renault... you've got to add on the driver assistance package and the heat pump into the Ford to bring up to the spec of this car.” ▶️ 01:09:13
Key Cons 👎
- Outright straight-line acceleration and motor output lag behind the punchier Ford Explorer powertrain „there's no doubt about it in terms of power, it's down on the Ford, of course it is. It's 220 horsepower, meaning a naughty to 60 time of 7.9 seconds.” ▶️ 00:58:24
- Low, car-like seating position lacks the elevated commanding vantage favored by traditional SUV buyers „There's no doubt about it. that the scenic feels more like a car, you know, from that point of view. You you don't sit quite as high up... if you want an SUV style of driving position, the Explorer is the better of the two in that sense.” ▶️ 00:59:57
- DC rapid charging time of 30-32 minutes is slightly longer than key rivals on similar journeys „So it's around about 30 to 32 minutes for the 15 to 80% charge. So again, you'll be stopped for a little bit longer in the scenic than you will in the Explorer.” ▶️ 00:48:39
🎯 Verdict: In this direct twin test, the Renault Scenic E-Tech comfortably defeats the Ford Explorer, showcasing a dramatically more supple suspension ride, supreme cabin acoustic refinement, and superior standard equipment value that solidify its status as the benchmark family electric crossover.

TL;DR Summary: House of Cars concludes a 4,000-mile, 3-month long-term family test of the Renault Scenic E-Tech Iconic Esprit Alpine (87 kWh), praising its authentic 290-mile motorway stamina, supple bump isolation on 20-inch wheels, clever rear tablet armrest, and high-quality sustainable cabin, while noting an awkward boot lip drop and fiddly flush door handles.
Key Pros 👍
- Stout real-world motorway touring range covering 290 miles on a full charge with 10% reserve remaining on long-distance UK journeys „it was all motorway driving from my house in Surrey to Milton Kees, I then got to the South Lakes before I had to stop and charge at 10%. So, I was probably about 290 miles from a full charge. But considering that was all motorway work, I don't think that was too bad. Certainly one of the best results I've had from an EV” ▶️ 00:36:08
- Superb chassis compliance and acoustic isolation effortlessly absorbing sharp UK road ridges and potholes despite large 20-inch alloy rims „The the suppleness in the chassis is really good. The way that the the the suspension, the springs, and the dampers just seem to soak up whether it's a sharp pothole, a ridge across the road, or a bigger undulation like I'm getting out in these back roads, the car just doesn't jolt you... and bear in mind, this is on 20-in alloy wheels.” ▶️ 00:39:04
- Ingenious rear seat center armrest featuring ratcheted rotating device docks and four separate charging ports preventing sibling arguments „it's these rotating um cup holders, which I really like about it... tuck a phone either side there. So, if your kids are want to watch something, they can put or put a bigger iPad there... and there's four charging ports, so nobody's fighting over a charging port. That's brilliant.” ▶️ 00:17:31
- Premium-feeling cabin architecture featuring felt-lined bins, soft-padded elbow rests, and straightforward physical climate toggles „I like that the door armrests are padded. This is padded. The door bins are lined with carpet. There's a real quality about the interior of the car... This really feels like a quality interior in this car. Way better than some traditional quality interiors from certain premium manufacturers” ▶️ 00:26:54
Key Cons 👎
- Deep load lip drop-down and relatively short cargo bay floor length making loading bulky items like non-folding wheelchairs awkward „One thing I loved about the Rena4 long time we had was the height of the the the load lip was was very small... This is higher. Obviously, it's a bigger car and it's taller car, but then you've also got a drop down to the boot floor. So, when you're getting things in and out of it, you do have that drop. The other thing is whilst it's a big overall volume, it's not as long as some cars like the Enyak.” ▶️ 00:12:26
- Fiddly flush door handles requiring a two-stage finger press and pull when approaching the vehicle while they are retracted „Right, the door handles, they're the pop out type... But even when they go back inside, it's a bit fiddly. That's the only thing with that I have to say, cuz you got to push this bit in first, then you got to pull that handle out if they're not popped out. So, if you've got your hands full with stuff and you know, the car's open, it's a little bit fiddly to do that.” ▶️ 00:08:30
- Somewhat leisurely DC rapid charging taper requiring 32 minutes for a 15 to 80 percent top-up despite a 150 kW peak rating „The charging speed is 150 kW on the car. Um, and Renault quote a 15 to 80% uh charge time, 32 minutes. That's maybe the only slightly disappointing time. Whilst 150 kW isn't disappointing, that charge time does seem to be.” ▶️ 00:34:12
🎯 Verdict: Four thousand miles of demanding real-world family testing establish the Renault Scenic E-Tech Long Range as the benchmark all-round electric family crossover, blending exceptional 290-mile motorway stamina, plush chassis compliance, and cabin ingenuity into an overwhelmingly satisfying ownership proposition.

TL;DR Summary: Auto Express tests the Renault Scenic E-Tech Iconic (87 kWh), praising its massive rear passenger legroom, innovative electrochromic Solarbay roof, clever device-holder rear armrest, and intuitive Google infotainment, while noting minor body roll under aggressive cornering, slight wind noise from large door mirrors, and a lack of true one-pedal driving on initial software.
Key Pros 👍
- Ultra-responsive portrait Google Automotive infotainment combined with clear tri-tier real-world range forecasting. „you've got the Google integrated software it's super responsive super CLE clear super crisp... on the right hand side you've got your range meter so it doesn't just give you one number... the one at the bottom shows you how far you can go if you're going flat out on the motorway or at normal Motorway speeds it's really useful” ▶️ 00:01:56
- Exceptional rear passenger space offering generous head and legroom with a flat floor and ingenious multimedia armrest. „look space and loads of it as well you've got loads of head room loads of knee room I'm just over 6' all and I am not struggling for space whatsoever... but when you haven't got five people in here check this armrest out... you have these swiv cup holders... but then you have these little nooks in here where you can place... a mobile phone or iPad in there and watch it on the Move fantastic” ▶️ 00:03:23
- Innovative Solarbay electrochromic glass roof that eliminates the heavy mechanical roller blind and adds headroom. „another feature that you'll find on the top spec car is this glass roof but it's no ordinary glass roof if you press this button it opacifies kind of in real time it's got electroch chromatic glass and it's a really Nifty feature but the best thing about it is that it does away with the need for a conventional roller blind which saves weight” ▶️ 00:02:57
- Comfortable, calm ride and intuitive dashboard ergonomics featuring dedicated physical shortcuts for disabling intrusive safety chimes. „The ride on the whole is pretty good it's firm but it's definitely not uncomfortable... there is actually a button down here that turns off some of the Safety Systems so the speed limit warning some of the Annoying nannying features that you get in some cars these days there's a drive mode button on the steering wheel everything just feels pretty easy to access” ▶️ 00:05:19
Key Cons 👎
- Regenerative braking in initial release lacks full one-pedal capability down to a dead stop without touching the brake pedal. „The one bit of feedback that I had for the engineers last night at dinner was that I didn't think the regen was strong enough it doesn't allow for one pedal driving but I'm reliably informed that that will be added via an overthe aair software update” ▶️ 00:05:38
- Noticeable body roll and weight transfer when pressing hard through tighter corners due to high SUV center of mass. „if you do want to drive a little bit quicker then then well you can feel the weight transfer this is a big heavy tall car... you can feel that weight transfer if you're really throwing this thing around” ▶️ 00:04:58
- Mild tire roar from large 20-inch alloy wheels and audible wind noise around exterior wing mirrors. „road noise is a little bit noticeable from this car's 20in wheel and there's a bit of wind noise from around the door mirrors as well but it's not a deal breaker” ▶️ 00:05:24
🎯 Verdict: The Renault Scenic E-Tech is a brilliant family EV that overcomes the packaging constraints of the Megane E-Tech, delivering expansive passenger space, an inspired electrochromic glass roof, intuitive Google software, and up to 380 miles of official range at a genuinely competitive price.

TL;DR Summary: Bjørn Nyland conducts a highway range test on the Renault Scenic E-Tech, measuring an actual 85.1 kWh usable battery capacity, competent lane-centering assist, and spacious passenger and cargo packaging, while observing high wet-weather consumption at 120 km/h, an underwhelming base audio system, and a lack of live DC charging metrics on the instrument cluster.
Key Pros 👍
- Substantial 85.1 kWh measured usable battery capacity providing genuine long-distance driving range „according to uh the consumption we have here multiply by the distance and for each segment and 2% left I estimated that we actually have 85.1 KW hour ooh that is a lot better than ARA with 79.9 KW hour” ▶️ 00:10:20
- Competent lane-centering autosteer system that holds highway bends reliably without abrupt deceleration „the auto stair is doing a pretty good job of staying in the lane you see that even have some twisty roads it does not slow down unlike the Chinese cars... it just stays in the lane it it does okay” ▶️ 00:03:13
- Extremely spacious family cabin with a cavernous luggage compartment that excels in luggage packing „let me show you in the back it is actually quite a spacious car and also the trunk is freaking huge I noticed that banana box test confirms” ▶️ 00:00:39
Key Cons 👎
- Elevated motorway energy consumption at 120 km/h reaching 243 Wh/km in damp driving conditions „result from the test 243 wat hour per kilm okay well it is what it is a thirsty Frenchman” ▶️ 00:03:53
- Base audio system sounds flat, hollow, and devoid of low-end bass punch or wide acoustic staging „the way I would describe this sound is that it sounds a bit uh I'm not sure it sounds a bit dead Hollow not that warm sound also locks the Deep base... it Just La detail it lacks that that uh Sound Stage I don't know man it's uh quite disappointing” ▶️ 00:06:00
- Infotainment display provides primitive DC charging information omitting real-time kilowatt speeds „in the car screen we don't see how fast we're charging we only see how long it going to take to 80% and then to 100% uh okay the percent goes up we are charging but uh no charging information here well this is kind of primitive” ▶️ 00:11:08
🎯 Verdict: Bjørn Nyland's range evaluation confirms that the Renault Scenic E-Tech's large 85.1 kWh net capacity overcomes elevated highway consumption and mediocre peak charging curves, making it a roomy, practical, and dependable electric family crossover.

TL;DR Summary: What Car? assesses the Renault Scenic E-Tech Long Range, praising its benchmark 322-mile verified real-world range, compliant ride comfort, aggressive pricing, and native Google ecosystem, while highlighting a spongy, inconsistent brake pedal and steering wheel obstruction of the driver's display.
Key Pros 👍
- Stellar real-world endurance achieving 322 verified miles on a full charge at 3.7 mi/kWh, outpacing key electric rivals „this Renault Scenic achieved 322 mil from a full charge until it died and that is a really really impressive result in the same test it also averaged 3.7 m per kwatt hour and really the distance that this car can travel on a full charge in real world driving conditions is a huge selling point” ▶️ 00:10:15
- Pliant, comfortable suspension tuning and quiet motorway acoustic insulation surpassing stiffer alternatives like the Tesla Model Y and Kia EV6 „this has clearly been set up to be a soft comfortable car and the ride that it delivers is indeed soft and comfortable it's more comfortable than an ev6 which by electric SUV standards is pretty firm it's also more Supple than a model Y... and it's noticeably quieter on the motorway than the rivals” ▶️ 00:11:21
- Class-leading Google-backed infotainment integration retaining physical tactile toggles for climate temperature and fan speed „look at these glorious physical buttons at the bottom of the screen here and this can easily adjust the temperature or the fan speed and a model y doesn't have physical controls for that... plus you have Google Maps and Google Assistant built in to Rena software so it means you've got a brilliant satnav straight out of the box” ▶️ 00:03:47
- Aggressive pricing and comprehensive standard equipment on the entry-level Techno trim undercutting similarly sized electric SUVs „an entry level Scenic costs a similar amount to an entry level enyak and that means that it's considerably cheaper than an ionic 5 an ev6 a Tesla Model Y... and you get things like 19in Alloys adaptive cruise control a heated steering wheel heated front seats and ambient interior lighting all as standard” ▶️ 00:12:58
Key Cons 👎
- Spongy and non-progressive brake pedal response making smooth and predictable deceleration awkward to modulate „the worst thing about the scenic on the road is the pedal because it is very very spongy and inconsistent in the way that it reacts so it does unfortunately mean that stopping this car smoothly is actually very difficult to do” ▶️ 00:12:27
- Chassis lean and torque steer under abrupt throttle applications through tighter bends on front-wheel-drive models „if you go around the corner quickly accelerate hard out of it then you'll notice a lot of body lean you'll also even notice a bit of torque steer with the wheel wriggling around in your hand a bit as you accelerate hard” ▶️ 00:12:10
- Steering wheel rim cuts across the upper portion of the 12.3-inch digital driver instrument cluster for many seating positions „it is disappointing that this very nice 12.3 in fully digital driver display is very easily blocked by the steering wheel... we suspect lots of people will find that the top of the wheel cuts off a pretty big chunk of the screen” ▶️ 00:02:17
🎯 Verdict: The Renault Scenic E-Tech Long Range establishes itself as one of the most compelling electric family crossovers on the market, combining an outstanding 322-mile tested real-world range and supple long-distance comfort with keen pricing, despite spongy brake pedal calibration.

TL;DR Summary: Mat Watson from carwow reviews the new Renault Scenic E-Tech Iconic, praising its cutting-edge Solarbay electrochromic glass roof, generous flat-floor rear passenger room, and intuitive Google-based infotainment, while criticizing its jerky two-stage brake pedal calibration, nonlinear steering response, and cluttered triple-stalk steering column.
Key Pros 👍
- Innovative Solarbay electrochromic panoramic glass roof that opacifies electronically in segments without requiring a bulky mechanical roller blind „I love the way that you have the sunblind actually built into the glass so look it's shaded at the moment but if I press this it's going to open watch it open as it open halfway and then I can open it the full length look at it ah it's really cool” ▶️ 00:16:08
- Responsive and logically structured Google-powered OpenR Link infotainment system paired with physical tactile climate toggle switches „it's fairly responsive it's easy to navigate through runs Google so it's all super simple and very logically laid out and I like the fact that you have separate controls for the climate so you can quickly alter temperatures and stuff” ▶️ 00:04:00
- Cavernous rear legroom and knee space complemented by a completely flat floor allowing genuine passenger comfort across all three seating positions „here in the back seats this SE feels very spacious I mean just look how much knee room I have this seat is in my normal driving position that is really good also it's got a completely flat floor” ▶️ 00:06:52
- Clever modular rear armrest incorporating rotating cradles to securely dock mobile phones or shared entertainment tablets „this row armrest is bizarrely pleasing... look you got your cup holders there but they have this functionality I can rotate them out like that... because then you can hold your mobile phone or tablet in them if you want to be like that or maybe you want to be a bit more like that ha that is clever” ▶️ 00:14:46
Key Cons 👎
- Inconsistent and grabby brake pedal feel with an abrupt, jerky transition between initial regeneration and physical friction disc clamping „one thing that I do find quite annoying though are the brakes so when you first press the pedal it's very squid and smooth and all of a sudden there's like this weird transition when the brakes are suddenly like absolutely fully on it's really odd” ▶️ 00:17:51
- Nonlinear steering rack calibration that exhibits an unresponsive initial dead zone followed by sudden aggressive turn-in „the steering just feels odd the first bit you turn it doesn't do anything then all of a sudden it's like turning like crazy it's inconsistent it's a bit like the brakes they're a bit odd don't feel natural it's like the car doesn't respond exactly as you imagine it will” ▶️ 00:21:38
- Ergonomically cluttered right-hand steering column hosting three separate stalks for transmission drive selection, windscreen wipers, and audio volume „what I like to have the gear select switch here on the steering column the one on this particular car is a little bit too high up so you have to stretch your fingers a bit... there's two of the stalks on this side it's a little bit stalk heavy reason being that Renault is still insisting on putting the volume controls on a separate little stalk” ▶️ 00:11:06
🎯 Verdict: The Renault Scenic E-Tech Iconic makes a strong case as an eye-catching, family-focused electric crossover boasting remarkable rear-seat space, brilliant Google infotainment, and a trick electrochromic roof, though unrefined brake pedal blending and numb, nonlinear steering prevent it from securing an unconditional top-tier recommendation.

TL;DR Summary: Marek Drives evaluates the Android Automotive OS implementation in the Renault Scenic E-Tech, praising its standard 22 kW AC charging support, highly customizable driver assist profile, and conservative highway range estimates, while criticizing the inability to throttle AC charging amperage, clunky route planning missing local chargers, and jarring conflicts between native Google maps and phone-mirrored Android Auto.
Key Pros 👍
- Exceptional 22 kW three-phase AC onboard charger fitted as standard equipment „the car can accept more power like this one can accept 22 kilowatts AC, which is brilliant by the way. And it's it's standard on this car, at least here in Poland.” ▶️ 00:13:25
- Personal drive mode permits granular customization and permanent silencing of annoying electronic safety assists „I'm currently in a personal mode because personal mode means uh I don't have ESA. I have ESA switched off. You can configure which systems are going to be relevant uh in uh, in ESA.” ▶️ 00:18:56
- Highly conservative highway range estimation algorithms that prevent unexpected battery depletion on long journeys „from about halfway I saw my end state of charge, estimated state of charge upon arrival, increase from minus 1% to about 12 13% plus. So, the range estimate here is, at least during the summer when it's whatever 25 30°, is very conservative.” ▶️ 00:10:30
Key Cons 👎
- Absence of an in-vehicle AC charging current limiter to prevent overloading residential electrical circuits „There is no power intake setting. So in most electric cars or PHEVs within the infotainment system you can set how much energy is the car is going to draw.” ▶️ 00:13:04
- Inconvenient EV route planning that lacks local charging network filtering and fails to show nearby chargers without manual zooming „I'm at the charger right now, and in order to find it, see, I'm I'm zooming in like crazy, and it doesn't even show me the charger that I'm on. It doesn't know that it exists.” ▶️ 00:07:17
- Disruptive system switching between native Android Automotive and smartphone Android Auto that drops route guidance „when you're driving and you have a planned route here within Android Automotive, then switching to Android Auto, which looks very similar, and losing your navigation is a bit annoying” ▶️ 00:02:20
🎯 Verdict: While the Renault Scenic E-Tech impresses with standard 22 kW AC charging hardware and a snappy screen, its Android Automotive software suffers from frustrating EV routing oversights, lack of AC amperage limits, and awkward smartphone mirroring conflicts.

TL;DR Summary: Power Unit explores the 2024 Renault Scenic E-Tech, praising its modular 12-module repairable battery architecture, generous 540-liter cargo capacity with subfloor storage, and physical climate controls beneath the responsive Google infotainment display, while criticizing awkward pop-out flush door handles, a tall front bonnet obstructing close-in visibility, and shallow rear footwells for bulky footwear.
Key Pros 👍
- Modular 12-module battery pack engineered specifically for individual cell repairability and recycling „The Rena cic ech is also circular what that means is that the battery is designed for repair ability and recyclability so there are 12 modules in the battery that can be individually repaired or recycled in the event or of an accident” ▶️ 00:01:21
- Substantial 540-liter cargo boot complemented by a practical subfloor storage compartment „Rena Scenic has a 540 L interior uh cargo space so for family trips it can quite capably accommodate a bunch of different cargo... you've actually got a subfloor here as well and so you can get some pretty good cargo in there” ▶️ 00:00:36
- Ergonomic physical buttons for HVAC climate control kept independent of the touch display „the nice thing is that your climate control is separate from the actual sort of infotainment display so it's very nice when you want to quickly get to your climate controls and and so yes very nice feel as well very responsive” ▶️ 00:04:13
Key Cons 👎
- Unintuitive, fiddly manual pop-out flush door handles that are difficult to deploy smoothly „one cool but funky feature of the Reno Scenic ech are these sort of pop out door so you push them in right here and uh now it doesn't want to pop out... so you just saw me kind of fight with the door here uh kind of a really kind of interesting funky content they look nice but I'm not sure how practical this is” ▶️ 00:08:25
- Elevated, squared front nose impairs direct ground visibility, necessitating reliance on cameras and sensors „the visibility very high nose here so you're going to be depending on your cameras and parking sensors to navigate the vehicle because it does sit quite High” ▶️ 00:05:25
- Shallow rear under-seat footwells restrict toe room when wearing bulky winter footwear or boots „the sort of foot well for your feet is a little bit shallow so uh for taller shoes like boots it would be very difficult to slide your feet in and out of here” ▶️ 00:06:07

TL;DR Summary: Everything Electric CARS walks through the Renault Scenic E-Tech, praising its Solarbay electrochromic glass roof, segment-leading rear legroom with the 'ingenious' armrest tablet holders, and sustainable recycled materials, while critiquing the shift toward a generic boxy SUV silhouette and a deep boot loading lip with a narrow opening.
Key Pros 👍
- Clever Solarbay electrochromic glass roof that eliminates mechanical blinds to optimize cabin cooling and headroom „glass goes from opaque to transparent and you can have the whole roof see-through you can have the whole roof opaque or you can have just the front half one thing and the back half the other or vice versa now what on Earth is the point of this well there's a few things first of all on a hot day it keeps the cabin nice and cool... this Runner reckons afford to do an extra three centimeters of Headroom” ▶️ 00:10:12
- Ingenious rear center armrest equipped with rotating device grips perfectly suited for entertaining rear passengers „what we have here are the coolest cup holders of all time these little rubber extendy bits are for look at this look the flipping phone holder I can sit here and mindlessly scroll Tick Tock while my parents do all the driving up front I can sit here and watch a film or I can put a put a tablet across the two and watch your film with a friend” ▶️ 00:13:07
- High level of sustainability with widespread use of recycled fabrics, plant-based resins, and recycled aluminium „pretty much Everything You Touch Is to some degree recycled so seat covers 100 recycle I think the dash uses uh plant resin in Parts rugs are largely recycled you can again have repurposed wood in your doors here and in fact the metal the aluminum in the doors and the Bonnet that is 80 recycled” ▶️ 00:11:15
Key Cons 👎
- Styling departs from iconic MPV aerodynamic roots to embrace a somewhat generic, blocky SUV profile „I think that some of you like me are going to share a sense that it's a bit of a shame that this doesn't look more like the old swoopy Renault scenics and that it actually looks so much like a sort of generic crossovery SUV type thing” ▶️ 00:13:54
- Trunk aperture is comparatively narrow and encumbered by a significant drop-down lip „Huge space down here giant lip but I strongly suspect that this will come with a false floor once it's all done and dusted I will say that that's not an especially big I think opening I wish I brought my tape measure with me but there's quite a lot of car either side of that” ▶️ 00:07:34
- Unusual rhombus-patterned faux front grille may prove divisive in long-term aesthetic appeal „the key difference between the two is probably this rhombus pattern going on here where a grill would be not 100 sure how I feel with that I think I'd have to live with it for a while before deciding” ▶️ 00:02:31
🎯 Verdict: The Renault Scenic E-Tech successfully reinterprets the family MPV ethos into a modern electric crossover, delivering unmatched rear cabin packaging, smart tech details like the Solarbay roof, and eco-friendly construction despite abandoning its aerodynamic monovolume heritage.

Key Pros 👍
- Harmonious fusion of generous sculpted surfaces with razor-sharp geometric character lines establishing a bold, assertive design language „we want to keep the shapes curved and generous we want to project the design into the future so we created very high tech details and plug them into the smoother body we created more tension in the design with sharper lines in some places in order to create a more directional dynamic to give a more assertive character to the car” ▶️ 00:00:34
- Deep commitment to environmental sustainability where circular logistics and recycled materials directly dictate exterior aesthetics „we worked on three aspects sustainability itself of course and also safety and inclusivity... of course we looked at recycled and recyclable materials we looked at the sourcing and the logistics we looked at the processes we should use to minimize its footprint and its impact and of course we have very concrete translation of all this which in the end creates a very fresh visual language” ▶️ 00:00:57
- Advanced technological safety concepts centered around augmented driver visibility, including an innovative virtual transparent hood feature „we applied a similar approach to safety with an interesting concept which we call transparent hood we looked at inclusivity with the idea that the car has to adapt to you and not the other way around” ▶️ 00:01:33
Key Cons 👎
- Purely conceptual presentation format entirely devoid of commercial production specifications, battery capacities, and retail pricing „this concept opens a window of the future of the ronald brand on two aspects the first is the design language itself of course and the second is the way we approached sustainable design” ▶️ 00:00:08
- Abstract overview of manufacturing processes leaving ambiguity as to how experimental inclusivity ideas translate to assembly lines „the aesthetics of the car actually comes from the technical ideas and thinking behind everything... and i think it is very interesting to observe how the scenic vision shifted our thinking and pushed sustainable design to dictate aesthetics” ▶️ 00:01:26
🎯 Verdict: Gilles Vidal outlines a visionary and highly ambitious manifesto for the Renault Scenic Vision concept, proving how eco-conscious materials, human-centric ergonomics, and sculpted proportions successfully redefine the historic Scenic nameplate, even if this promotional design monologue lacks concrete showroom pricing and production hardware data.

TL;DR Summary: Anonymous Automotive reflects on 8 months and several thousand miles living with the Renault Scenic E-Tech Techno, praising its generous standard equipment (heated wheel, heat pump, power tailgate), impressive 87 kWh range, and active safety systems, while critiquing the crowded steering column stalks, lack of charge port lighting, and Google voice radio tuning disconnects.
Key Pros 👍
- Impressive standard specification on base Techno trim including standard heat pump, heated steering wheel, and power tailgate „Even on this lowest trim level, the Techno, you've got things like heated seats, electric tailgate, but even surprise and delight features like heated steering wheel, which are not the norm for kind of a 35,000lb vehicle.” ▶️ 00:43:31
- Clever lateral obstacle detection provides protective chime when opening doors near approaching traffic or cyclists „one of the most impressive features I found is this lateral detection where when you're about to open the door, if there's a car or a pedestrian going past, it will beep... it's one of those things which adds to the sense of security that Renault have really considered with this vehicle.” ▶️ 00:26:12
- Ingenious rear central armrest with rotating device cradles and built-in USB-C charging ports „we've got this really cool central armrest, which has two cup holders, additional USBC sockets, adding to the two that we've got over here. And you can turn these around to add your phone if you want it to sit here or here.” ▶️ 00:08:45
Key Cons 👎
- Overcrowded steering column with multiple stalks, drive selector, and audio controls prone to accidental inputs „there's a lot of stalkage going on... We've got the gear selector here, which I'm not a massive fan on when you've got a lot of stalks... a lot of stalks and quite often if you jump in between cars, you might accidentally press this one instead of this one.” ▶️ 00:06:57
- Unilluminated charging port door makes plugging in at night awkward and difficult „I do have a complaint here that there's no illumination around the port and where I charge at home, it's quite dark. So, I'm normally kind of fiddling around in the dark to get it plugged in.” ▶️ 00:05:01
- Inconsistent Google voice assistant integration fails to properly tune selected broadcast radio stations „So, you can see it's found talk sport here, but it's not tuned to anything... So there's a kind of disconnect between the Google voice assistance and the rental infotainment system actually tuning to the station and and that issue happens almost 100% of the time.” ▶️ 00:27:42
🎯 Verdict: Eight months of real-world ownership confirm that the Renault Scenic E-Tech is an exceptionally well-equipped and practical family EV offering class-leading range and thoughtful safety aids, despite minor ergonomic quirks with crowded stalks and software voice glitches.

TL;DR Summary: Electrifying reviews the new Renault Scenic E-Tech Electric, praising its vast interior space, clever rear armrest device holders, generous 87 kWh battery range, and competitive pricing against rivals like the Peugeot e-3008, while noting limited rear window visibility, lack of one-pedal stopping, and a deep boot loading lip.
Key Pros 👍
- Massive rear passenger space complemented by an ingenious modular armrest designed to securely hold smartphones and tablets „as a passenger back here that is absolutely cracking cuz you could put like a whole iPad here then say you've got like kids back here they could just sit here and watch the iPad and they would just be quiet the entire Journey” ▶️ 00:05:04
- Outstanding electric range of up to 379 miles combined with strong 150 kW DC rapid charging capabilities „so with that you get an 87 KW battery which gives you 379 mil worth of range which is wonderful £41,000 that will cost you but you get a load more kit included and a bit more power as well” ▶️ 00:15:08
- Responsive Google-based infotainment system paired with physical buttons for climate control and an innovative Solarbay opaque glass roof „and actually it's really intuitive and all the buttons and everything just looks really nice it's very smart and as you're tapping buttons it's reacting very very quickly you got knobs for your fans and stuff and for your temperature which we love” ▶️ 00:07:35
Key Cons 👎
- Deep boot sill creates a pronounced loading lip that complicates lifting heavy cargo into the luggage bay „tricky to get things in and out with currently got mano's camera equipment in here but look at that lip that goes if I put my hand on the floor that's the lip goes all the way up to my arm there” ▶️ 00:02:27
- Restricted rearward visibility through the narrow rear glass, forcing reliance on the digital rearview mirror „visibility isn't the best like looking out of this mirror through the back isn't the best but you do have digital camera built in which takes a lot of getting used to” ▶️ 00:08:25
- Regenerative braking system lacks true one-pedal driving as it still creeps forward instead of coming to a complete stop „this is full and it brings you down to a creep it's not full one pedal driving so if you are a one pedal driving fan and you like it to come to a complete stop this is not the car for you” ▶️ 00:12:41
🎯 Verdict: The Renault Scenic E-Tech is a thoughtfully engineered electric family crossover that combines tremendous interior practicality, intuitive Google infotainment, and impressive long-distance range at an aggressive price point, easily outshining key segment rivals despite minor visibility and one-pedal drive compromises.

TL;DR Summary: EV-olution spends two weeks road-testing the Renault Scenic E-Tech across southern France, praising its balanced chassis dynamics reminiscent of Hyundai's E-GMP platform, minimal use of fingerprint-prone piano black plastic, and expansive rear seat packaging, while highlighting bright dashboard fabric reflections on the windscreen, high-speed wind leakage at the door seals, and the absence of a front trunk.
Key Pros 👍
- Engaging and comfortable suspension tuning combining supple long-distance compliance with confident cornering grip „The ride comfort and the handling in this vehicle remind me of the Ionic series and the EV6 vehicle that have a it's sporty but also very comfortable. In other words, I've taken this vehicle on a ride for about 2 hours and I don't know 150 km and the car handles really really well but I don't get butt fatigue.” ▶️ 00:15:33
- Restrained cabin trim philosophy eliminating high-gloss piano black surfaces across primary touchpoints „There's something missing in here that makes me happy. It's piano black. None of it almost... That's because you're not touching that stuff every day, and that's not going to blind you. And in two weeks of driving this vehicle, not once did I have a problem with the sun glaring on that panel black” ▶️ 00:12:04
- Superb rear cabin space providing excellent under-seat toe room and supportive thigh cushioning for tall adults „the seat has a ton of support. It's got enough padding that it's comfortable, but not mushy, but not too hard for a long trip, and it supports your thighs. There's a ton of foot room under the front seat, which is very much appreciated” ▶️ 00:07:20
Key Cons 👎
- Light-colored dashboard fabric produces distracting reflections and sun glare onto the front windscreen „light colored materials should not be on any dashboard of any car whatsoever because when the sun is shining... the glare from the reflection of this material in the windscreen makes it difficult specifically when you get into these twisty roads in the mountains” ▶️ 00:13:29
- Noticeable highway aerodynamic wind rush around the upper passenger door frame seal „when I was sitting in the passenger side of the vehicle and David was driving and we're on the highway, I noticed that there was a little bit of wind noise in the upper right. Now, I thought my window wasn't closed, so I reached over and I flipped the switch, but the window was all the way up. Then, I pulled on the top of the the door frame and snugged it in a little bit and the wind noise came down.” ▶️ 00:17:29
- Complete lack of a front trunk (frunk) or pneumatic gas struts under the hood „Unfortunately, when you have a price like that, well, they cut on certain things. And in this particular case, they cut on the frunk. Now, not having a frunk is not the end of the world, but not having plastic trim and not having hood struts, it's kind of a bit of a bugger for me.” ▶️ 00:02:38
🎯 Verdict: EV-olution's two-week road test confirms the Renault Scenic E-Tech is a well-sorted, comfortable electric SUV with impressive real-world touring range and refreshing interior ergonomics, marred only by windshield dash glare, door wind noise, and the missing frunk.

TL;DR Summary: Battery Life compares the Renault Scenic E-Tech against the updated VW ID.4, highlighting the Scenic's standard 22 kW AC charging, fast-booting Android Automotive system with physical ADAS toggle buttons, superior rear adult headroom, and lower like-for-like pricing, while noting its stepped DC charging curve, unrefined auto-hold throttle tip-in, and excessive wind noise at 130 km/h.
Key Pros 👍
- Superior standard equipment value saving thousands of euros over an equivalently optioned ID.4 „if you spec it the same way, they both have the same stuff, then the Scenic costs around 57,000 euros in Germany, the ID.4 64. So, 4 7,000 euros more. And in the Scenic, you get the transparent panoramic roof that can be see-through or not.” ▶️ 00:03:27
- Responsive Android Automotive interface paired with straightforward physical shortcut buttons for assist systems „In the Scenic, it starts amazingly fast and it works really well... you can select your assist system settings that you want very easily with a real button, and you just go on.” ▶️ 00:04:31
- Fast, efficient winter cabin heating and standard 22 kW AC onboard charging capability „The ID.4 can charge AC only with 11 kW, the Scenic 22 kW... Heating, the Scenic heats really, really well. So, if you get into a cold Scenic and you put the heat on 22 degrees, it's warm in 2 minutes. Really amazing.” ▶️ 00:05:22
Key Cons 👎
- DC rapid charging curve drops sharply in steps, underperforming the ID.4 on extended highway journeys „And this Scenic has a peak of around 150 and goes down in steps. Charging curve in this car is not really amazing.” ▶️ 00:02:57
- Elevated aerodynamic wind buffeting at 130 km/h degrades long-distance cabin serenity „This car has a lot of wind noise at 130. You have to turn up the infotainment system music or podcast really loud to understand everything. In the ID.4, it's way quieter. It's way more comfortable.” ▶️ 00:09:17
- Abrupt, jerky auto-hold disengagement and sluggish low-speed throttle pedal mapping „when you drive on with auto hold, you you press the accelerator pedal, nothing nothing, and then something happens. That's way more comfortable in the ID.4.” ▶️ 00:09:59
🎯 Verdict: While the Renault Scenic E-Tech offers better value, faster infotainment, 22 kW AC charging, and superior rear passenger space than the VW ID.4, its stepped DC charging curve and elevated 130 km/h wind noise make it less suited to frequent high-speed autobahn touring.

Key Pros 👍
- Substantially larger 89 kWh battery pack delivering marathon real-world highway range of up to 500 km „For long highway journeys, the Scenic is the undisputed marathon runner, boasting an impressive 632 km of WLTP range and 500 km in the real world.” ▶️ 00:03:11
- Superior cargo practicality featuring a generous 491-liter trunk and 54-liter underfloor compartment „For everyday practicality, the Scenic dominates cargo capacity by offering 491 L of standard trunk space, easily swallowing more luggage than the 367 L found in the LZ-03.” ▶️ 00:00:53
- Deeply integrated Google built-in infotainment OS delivering intuitive voice control and superior digital UX „Both vehicles feature highly responsive wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto interfaces, but the Scenic pulls ahead with its deeply integrated Google built-in system and excellent voice commands.” ▶️ 00:01:46
Key Cons 👎
- Slower DC fast charging requiring 31 minutes to reach 80% state of charge „Fast charging times heavily favor the L03, which blasts from 10 to 80% in an ultra-quick 20 minutes to recover 294 km, while the Scenic leaves you waiting 31 minutes for a full session.” ▶️ 00:04:15
- Higher purchase price commands a notable premium over aggressively priced Chinese competitors „On the financial side, the L03 is a serious bargain with a starting price of 38,600 euros, significantly undercutting the 42,590 euros commanded by the Scenic.” ▶️ 00:05:00
- Tepid straight-line performance with 0-100 km/h sprint taking 7.9 seconds from a front-wheel drive single motor „When launching from 0 to 100 km/h, the L03 is undeniably faster, completing the sprint in a brisk 6.6 seconds, while the Scenic trails behind at 7.9 seconds.” ▶️ 00:02:27
🎯 Verdict: The Renault Scenic E-Tech establishes itself as a capable electric family tourer with commanding highway range, cavernous cargo volume, and verified Euro NCAP safety, though it demands higher pricing and slower fast-charging stops compared to aggressive Chinese rivals.

TL;DR Summary: wakeywarrior evaluates the Renault Scenic E-Tech on a 400-mile round trip through cold 4°C driving rain, noting solid 270+ mile winter highway stamina, crisp dual-screen Google map displays, and seamless Fastned plug-and-charge interoperability, while revealing that battery preheating only activates when a charger is set as an intermediate waypoint rather than a final destination.
Key Pros 👍
- Outstanding winter highway endurance delivering over 270 miles of real-world range at 65 mph in near-freezing temperatures „I was doing 65 virtually the whole way so reasonable speed there on on the ecos score on here this is where this is saying I got an average of 3.4 what's the 3.4 multiplied by 87... about 280 Miles when it was like 12 14 degrees I'd have expected that to be 320 so it's dropped down by like 40 miles roughly” ▶️ 00:13:16
- Intuitive dual-screen Google Maps interface separating high-level nationwide routing from detailed instrument cluster directions „on your main screen here you've got the full map if you like of your entire route across the country so you can see if there are any blockages traffic jams Etc... whereas in your map on this lovely binle this lovely really high definition binle you get on this car here you've got the immediate route uh mapping so closeup” ▶️ 00:03:51
- Seamless autoconnect and plug-and-charge style identification at ultra-rapid Fastned charging stations „modern electric cars the latest ones can give a code to the charger to tell it which car it is when you plug it in and this Renault does that so on the fom ones you can set it up on the app so that you don't have to do anything but plug it in just like a Tesla Supercharger” ▶️ 00:03:10
Key Cons 👎
- Battery thermal preconditioning only triggers when a charger is programmed as a waypoint, lacking manual control or on-screen status „if say I just navigated to a charger it wouldn't preat at all because it wrongly assumes that you don't want to really fast charge because that's your end destination and it's not going to preat the battery... I'd really like to see renold change this and be a to switch on and off preheat maybe and certainly tell you when it's preheating” ▶️ 00:06:20
- Adverse driving rain and cold puddles significantly degrade energy efficiency down to 3.2 miles per kWh „The combination of the horrendous weather and driving rain um and U which is still bad and the cold temperatures... means that I'm really struggling to get back on a single charge which is just crazy if I look at my driving... my Energy Efficiency has dropped down to 3.2 kilowatts an hour in this rate it's the rain that's mainly doing it” ▶️ 00:19:04
- Public DC charging rates at high-power hubs are notably expensive compared to cheap domestic overnight tariffs „it's coming at a decent speed expensive I think it's 79 p a kilowatt or something so I don't want to put too much in” ▶️ 00:24:52
🎯 Verdict: wakeywarrior's arduous foul-weather highway journey demonstrates that the Renault Scenic E-Tech's large battery provides admirable 270-plus-mile cold-weather security and excellent Google mapping, though cryptic waypoint-dependent battery preheating remains a notable software limitation.

TL;DR Summary: Bjørn Nyland runs the 1000 km challenge in the Renault Scenic E-Tech (87 kWh net), finishing in an admirable 10 hours and 10 minutes thanks to its massive battery and generous rear passenger room, while noting a steep DC charge throttle past 40%, post-challenge CCS handshake failures, and a slightly firm motorway ride.
Key Pros 👍
- Solid 1000 km challenge time of 10 hours and 10 minutes enabled by the massive 85 kWh usable battery pack „time 74 10 hours and 10 minutes the slow clap for the Frenchman... Why because this has a fairly big battery you know 85 KW net capacity after losses that is something that actually matters when you have to drive so far” ▶️ 00:22:11
- Exceptionally generous rear passenger legroom and practical cabin space „it doesn't look that big but it is actually quite spacious so uh one thing I noticed is that um in the back here you see what this is here... the leg room is very very good” ▶️ 00:08:10
- Comfortable seats and solid motorway soundproofing for long-distance cruising „it gets the work done yeah in a comfortable way and the seats are good soundproofing is pretty good” ▶️ 00:24:55
Key Cons 👎
- DC rapid charging speed peaks below the advertised 150 kW and aggressively throttles down around 40% state of charge „we are taking 142 kilow oh yeah at least it's consistent... currently at how many kilowatt is it 92 yeah it happens every time around 39% something it throttles” ▶️ 00:14:34
- BMS handshake bug caused rapid charging failure at the conclusion of the test „first I was at the super jar over there I tried at least 10 times trying to handshake it fail I now try CH power it fails first I thought it was something wrong with the super Jer which is unlikely because I've been using lots of super charger on this Challenge and then suddenly the car just refuses to handshake on anything” ▶️ 00:22:21
- Suspension setup exhibits noticeably firm and harsh damping over motorway bumps „the suspension I feel like feels a bit harsh yeah over some of the bumps in the motorway” ▶️ 00:25:04
🎯 Verdict: The Renault Scenic E-Tech achieves a competent 10-hour 10-minute finish in Bjørn Nyland's 1000 km challenge, demonstrating how a large 87 kWh battery compensates for mediocre 130-140 kW peak charging curves, making it an honest long-range family cruiser.

TL;DR Summary: Battery Life puts the Renault Scenic E-Tech through a sustained 130 km/h autobahn range test in sub-zero winter temperatures, recording a high 315 Wh/km consumption resulting in a 263-km total range, while praising the rapid cabin heat output and forgiving capacitive steering wheel assist, but noting prominent high-speed wind buffeting and lack of on-screen DC charging rate readouts.
Key Pros 👍
- Highly effective cabin climate control quickly creates comfortable warmth even in freezing sub-zero ambient conditions „it was just 21 and I was a bit too warm so I turned it down it's nice that the heat in here is amazing so it heats up the interior really nice I love it” ▶️ 00:04:12
- Intuitive and forgiving highway steering assist with sensitive capacitive touch detection „steering assist is great on a highway I like it it takes a long long time till it tells you hey you're not touching the steering wheel above 10 seconds until you get a real warning where it complains... and it recognizes My Touch even though I'm touching it very lightly on the left bottom here amazing” ▶️ 00:06:38
- Seamless overtaking power and stability at high cruising speeds despite front-wheel drive layout „on the highway the front wheeel drive in this car is no issue you don't since you're not accelerating like crazy and if you have to pass there no problem the power is there” ▶️ 00:07:39
Key Cons 👎
- Elevated high-speed winter autobahn consumption at 130 km/h averaging 315 Wh/km for a modest 263 km highway range „315 wat per kilm is my average consumption it was a great Drive uh traffic wise -2 to -1° and in this configuration um today this car from 90% down to 11% drove 28 km that's a full range of 263 km with a 87 Kow usable uh energy uh battery that's not incredibly amazing” ▶️ 00:10:17
- Prominent aerodynamic wind noise permeates the cabin when cruising at 130 km/h „the 130 is a bit loud and it's the wind noise so it's not the the the tire noise or something and I did it in the other video so when you drive 150 it's not a big difference from 130” ▶️ 00:06:05
- Digital displays and mobile app fail to show instantaneous DC charging power in kilowatts „it doesn't tell me uh the charging power I'm charging just the time when it's finished not in in this window neither in the app also not I only see it on the charger” ▶️ 00:01:16
🎯 Verdict: Battery Life's 130 km/h winter range trial reveals that high aerodynamic drag and sub-zero temperatures push consumption to 315 Wh/km, reducing the Renault Scenic's 87 kWh battery to roughly 260 km of high-speed cruising, despite superb cabin heating and smooth driver aids.
