RENAULT SCENIC E TECH - COULD THIS BE THE PERFECT FAMILY CAR?

EV Channels Review

The Renault Scenic E-Tech is presented as a sensible, all-electric, mid-sized crossover that aims to be the perfect family car. While it doesn't break new ground in terms of innovation, it excels in practicality and user-friendliness, drawing heavily on the strengths of the Megane E-Tech. The reviewer highlights its spacious interior, comfortable seats, and clever features like the ingenious armrest and the adaptable solar bay roof, which enhance the family experience. The Google-based infotainment system and the clear driver display are also praised. On the road, the Scenic E-Tech offers a quiet, refined, and comfortable ride, making it ideal for long journeys, though it lacks the dynamic prowess of the Megane. The reviewer finds the pricing competitive, especially considering the range and specification. Key drawbacks include a relatively high boot sill, a short 3-year warranty, and less engaging handling compared to its smaller sibling. Despite the crowded market, the Scenic E-Tech's focus on being a brilliant family car first, with electric power as a bonus, makes it a strong contender.
