The Renault Scenic E-Tech will now travel almost 400-miles on a single charge as part of a wider update for the multi award-winning family electric SUV.
Widely acclaimed upon its launch, the Renault Scenic E-Tech – which counts the 2024 European Car of the Year award among its list of achievements – has proven a popular option for families making the switch to electric, helped in part by it receiving the full Electric Car Grant of £3,750 to lower prices.
Now the Scenic E-Tech will represent even better value thanks to a raft of upgrades, the most significant of which is the introduction of a more efficient 89kWh nickel magnese cobalt (NMC) battery that Renault claims will achieve 399-miles of range.
That makes the Scenic E-Tech one of the most durable electric cars in its price range with the sticker set to remain around the current model’s £33,245 starting amount.
Renault is also set to introduce a new entry-level 67kWh battery variant that will travel 290-miles and no doubt reduce the starting price further.
Coming in the wake of a similar overhaul for the Renault Megane E-Tech, with that model adopting a freshened exterior more in-keeping with the look of its sister, the Scenic E-Tech is therefore largely unchanged on the outside.
Instead, updates are limited to new alloy wheel designs, while the front and rear bumpers get a gloss black finish.
It’s a similar story inside where the Scenic E-Tech retains the same ergonomically friendly dashboard design headlined by a large driver display flanked by a portrait-style central touchscreen.
Software updates are also set to improve the Google-powered infotainment system, which should refine real-time analysis of traffic and more accurate lane-positioning.
