Renault Scenic 2017

In November 2016 Renault will sell the fourth generation of five - seat Scenic MPV and will be available a few days after the Grand Scenic, version 7 seats. It has significant changes from the model it replaces, the Scenic 2013, which in our view represent a small loss of practicality in the interior towards the exterior design (which recognizes Renault). They include a substantial increase in ground clearance of the body and the replacement of the three individual rear seats, with a three-seater bench divided into two asymmetrical parts (1/3 and 2/3).

There 4cm distance between the ground and the body as before (17 cm high, similar to a Renault Captur or Hyundai Tucson ). The Scenic 2017 is wider, taller and longer than the previous model, but its body is lower.

The Scenic 2016 tires are 20 inches in diameter for the range and they are mounted tires 195/55 measures. It is a combination of unusual measures. Renault says it has negotiated the cost of the wheels with three manufacturers (Michelin, Continental and Goodyear) so the price is the same with 17-inch wheels of Scenic 2013 (your measurements are 205/55 R17 95H) both on a Renault dealership and other shops (between 110 and 145 euros per wheel, as we have consulted). The tires can be decorated with a series of plastic inserts that are attached to the spokes and Renault called "add-on".

The carrier is prepared to transport five people, but the second row of seats no longer have three separate places, but is now a stool in the shape of three seats divided into two parts (1/3 and 2/3), that they can be moved independently in longitudinal direction. Renault calls the folding system of the One-Touch seats already been used in Espace. Its biggest advantage is that to have all the capacity is not necessary to remove the seats fold because now easily and leave a diaphanous surface with the trunk. The disadvantages are that you can no longer place three child seats and no drawers under the bench seats. Yes Floor drawers remain.

Although the exterior dimensions are greater than those of Scenic 2013, the lowest ride height is noticeable inside because there is less ceiling height (1 cm less in the front seats and 2 cm less in the rear). There are 5 cm wide at shoulder level (148 versus 143 cm, is the most wide is in front of all models according to our measurements table interior ) and 5 cm less width for spaces behind (it is the narrowest) minivans. The battle has also grown, but rear passengers have less legroom: 2 cm less in the rearmost position of the bench and 4 cm less in the more advanced.

The rear seatbacks can be folded down from the controls of the seats, through the multimedia system R-LINK2 and for some buttons on the trunk. The Scenic 2016 retains the possibility of folding the backrest of the front passenger, but only in those versions that do not have leather seats and electrically adjustable. The sun blinds on the rear windows are standard or optional depending on the version. There is an option to have the gate opening and closing electrical or with handsfree, or Renault contemplates add in the future.

The initial range consists of three diesel versions, two petrol and a hybrid diesel to be sold from January 2017. The latter is named, but can not move in electric mode but only supported by a small electric motor (according Renault, a saving of 8 to 10% of fuel compared to the non-hybrid version of identical power). All versions have a manual gearbox six relations and is available automatic transmission double clutch and seven gears (EDC) for the diesel version of 110 hp. The following table shows the combinations of engines, transmissions and trim levels available will be shown.

The body of the Scenic can be painted in two colors, one for the roof (including mirrors) and a different one for the rest. For the ceiling there are two possible options Grey Black Star and Cassiopeia. With the first color, the rest of the body can be painted in the following colors: Yellow Honey, Glacier White, Pearlescent Black, Platinum Grey, Grey Cassiopeia, Beige Duna, Sky Blue, Cosmos Blue and Carmine Red. With the roof in Grey Cassiopeia there is only one possible color combination, the Black Star.
