NEW RENAULT SCENIC REVIEW! BEST ELECTRIC SUV?

EV Channels Review

The Renault Scenic, in its fifth generation, has transformed from an MPV into a compelling electric SUV, aiming to rival established players like the Tesla Model Y. The "What Car?" review highlights its significant real-world range, particularly the Long Range version achieving an impressive 322 miles in testing, surpassing many competitors. The interior is praised for its quality, generous storage solutions, and comfortable rear seating, though the driver's display can be obscured by the steering wheel. Usability is a strong point, with a responsive infotainment system featuring Google built-in and a welcome return of physical controls for climate. However, the review notes a "bad thing": a spongy and inconsistent brake pedal that hinders smooth stopping. Despite this, the Scenic is commended for its soft, comfortable, and quiet ride, making it a pleasant car for long journeys. Pricing is competitive, with even higher trims offering good value against rivals. The reviewer concludes that the Scenic is a strong contender and a significant step forward for Renault's EV offerings, making it a worthy addition to any electric SUV shortlist.
