Fourth-generation Scénic revamped

Twenty years after inventing the world’s first compact MPV with the Scénic — which has since sold five million units and was named European Car of the Year in 1997 — Renault has completely overhauled its offering in the segment with the fourth generation of its iconic model.

Some 22,000 of them have been sold in Ireland since 1996 and Renault says the all-new Scenic is in dealerships now, while the Grand Scenic will hit dealerships in mid-January with pricing from €26,000 for the Scenic and €28,400 for the Grand Scenic.

Unveiled at the 2016 Geneva International Motor Show, and based on 2011’s R-Space concept, the All-New Scénic and All-New Grand Scénic receive 20-inch wheels as standard across the range — unique in its segment and aiding its ground-breaking design.
