Renault is upgrading the Scenic E-Tech electric with new features and services to enhance comfort, connectivity, and electric performance. With the 162 kW/220 hp motor, the Scenic E-Tech electric is now available with a choice of two new batteries offering greater range and shorter charging times at DC fast-charging points.
The 89 kWh NMC (nickel-manganese-cobalt) long-range battery delivers a WLTP range of up to 642 km while cutting DC fast-charging times by 25%. Scenic now charges at rates from 15% to 80% in 28 minutes, with a peak charging power of 150 kW.
A 67-kWh LFP (lithium-iron-phosphate) comfort-range battery will be available at a later date. Delivering a WLTP range of up to 467 km, this battery also reduces DC fast-charging time by 25%, charging from 15% to 80% in 24 minutes.
“Already available with the New Megane E-Tech electric, the LFP technology complements the NMC offering with a robust, affordable and versatile alternative. It uses the cell-to-pack (C2P) architecture introduced on the New Megane E-Tech electric: a world first with 232 closely packed pouch cells, enabling packing efficiency of 53% and boosting both range and efficiency. Fast charging is also improved, with DC peak charging power increased to 165 kW,” explains the press release.
In Belgium, the long-range version is now on order at €47,200. The LFP-battery version will be available later, starting at €41,900.
Upgraded cabin, enhanced driver assistance systems
There is an enhanced design and comfort thanks to new seats on the Techno version, two new body colors – satin slate blue and exo galaxy grey – and two new wheels offered on the Techno and Iconic versions. The digital experience is upgraded with Google Gemini, 2 GB of data for 3 years, and a Qi2 wireless charger.
Adaptive Cruise Control (standard) and Active Driver Assist, available on some models, have been upgraded to provide a more detailed analysis of the surroundings and traffic conditions.
The new ‘Multi Target’ function tracks several vehicles simultaneously to identify better vehicles merging, cutting in, or slowing down. This makes for a smoother driving experience, particularly in heavy traffic.
Active Driver Assist has been upgraded to make everyday driving more convenient and safer, thanks to a more realistic view of the surroundings, more responsive lateral positioning, emergency stop assist, and a predictive eco-driving function that optimizes energy consumption.
Accessories designed for family use
The Scenic also ships with a range of stylish accessories designed for in-car comfort: a small, compact storage tray that is easy to fit, remove and clean, keeping the interior tidy at all times; a new double boot floor with an easy-to-access storage compartment, creating a flat floor when the rear seats are folded down; a large, foldable storage box that fits in the second row, for tidying children’s belongings or charging cables, depending on the driver’s needs.
Furthermore, a Handpresso coffee machine is available for a coffee break while the car is charging, and an ‘Aero Cargo Box’ mounted on the tow bar adds 310 liters of capacity to the vehicle’s 545-liter trunk, with minimal impact on range.
Finally, you can order a closed center console organizer with a storage compartment and built-in cup and bottle holders, plus a car seat and a safety lead for pets.
