The new generation Renault Scenic will launch in Ireland in July, at a starting price of €39,995 for the all-electric car, writes Brian Byrne.
The Scenic E-Tech electric will be offered in four trim levels and power from a 60kWh battery through a 170hp electric motor. The rated range for this version is 430km, which an 87kWh battery option will be rated at up to 625km.
The car has been awarded the European Car of the Year trophy, reflecting how the first generation Scenic won the same award in 1997. Then a ground-breaking compact MPV, the Scenic has now evolved into a striking SUV format.
