Renault Scenic

Really disappointing, was hoping they will keep the current format with 3 seats at the back, ideal for 3 kids. The current car seems more streamlined as well to offer better efficiency. As other have said this is just the generic design all cars seem to follow nowadays.

Here's my review for those interested. Confirmed AC will be 22kW as standard here in Ireland

think the proper 7 seater is dead in the water, which is a shame. 3 individual, independent seats in the middle row is great for 3 kid families. I see even the new e5008 have done away with the 3 individual seat middle row. Its now just pandering to the SUV market. look at the old (previous) Grand scenic, looks better streamlined and better suited shape for EV.

No word on a 7 seater option unfortunately

On the UK website, the Scenic EV configuration is up, base 60kWh starts at £37.5k and 87kWh starts at £41k, ex delivery & metallic.

i see it now, not that obvious:

That is a really good car. Looks like it's using android automotive which is an excellent system and doesn't require re-inventing the wheel.

Really like the look and spec of this car. The main issue for me is that the range on the standard model is just that bit too low as I travel across the country fairly regularly.

The price of the longer range model is too high, so it just might not make sense for me, much as I want it to...

**** interior, why do all cars now have to look like the enterprise ?

I love the official range claims……

Well whatever that range they gave on the first page of this thread is ridiculous.

No, I don't like these modern screen interior and screen instrument clusters, should be optional, they're just not my cup of tea, I'm fine with a small screen for media and nav but not when they're the focal point of the car, information over load and distracting but least they have some proper buttons. I've enough screens in work and I have Ipad and phone.

I know these cars are attractive for those who are like Bjorn who can't live without touching a screen or going trough a menu, it's quite pathetic to watch him at times.

That was the best Star Trek series !

But, no, I was more talking about the interiors, all touch screens and of course car manufacturers won't make simple ergonomic interiors for feeling left behind lol.

Anyway, I went back to a car with a more normal interior, it has a small screen for media and nav but that's all, it doesn't control any of the cars functions, no menus to fiddle with and it has just as much tech as I need and I quite like having a manual petrol again after 9 years of EV driving, the screen and software in the last EV I had recently was just a headache and I swore never again, no my priority is spend much less on cars and get something with much less complicated tech, less to go wrong.

Manufacturers need to get back to basics and have all this tech optional, on the options list like they would have in the past. I have a phone and I don't need to pay for all this useless tech in cars.

Scenic has the same system as my wife’s Megane, which has physical controls for HVAC, seat and steering wheel heat and radio/media controls on a stalk. The only time we use the touchscreen is for nav, but for touch screen avoiders this can also be controlled by voice if preferred.

That's fine but they make the car interior look like sh1t, they don't look like cars today they look like something in computer games. I'm fine with a small screen, I have this now any bigger and it would look crap.

As I said before they should make all this tech crap optional and then those that don't want it won't have to pay for it.

Sure why not treat yourself ?

I'm not into the SUV thing, I just prefer the smaller better handling car to be honest, EV weigh so much it really dulls the experience.
