This is the all-new Renault Scenic!
In the past, the Scenic was renowned as an MPV people character, but the design has now been updated to make it more like an SUV. What’s more, it’s also ditched the internal combustion engine and gone electric only!
So does the new Scenic have what it takes to compete with class leaders like the Skoda Enyaq and Tesla Model Y? Let's take a closer look
We'll start with the design, and around the back, the Scenic looks pretty smart, and it comes with a set of futuristic & thin tail lamps. However, the lower part of the car sticks out, and we think it looks a little strange. Along the side, the car we have here (the range-topping edition) comes with smart chrome surrounds, and there’s also a full-length panoramic roof. Along the front, there’s a smart-looking grille, coupled with some thin headlamps.
Step inside and the Scenic is a pretty smart car. There’s a large infotainment screen that sits in the centre of the dash, and the digital dials screen is also pretty large and comes with a number of different settings to choose from. The cabin has some soft-touch materials, but there’s also a fair share of scratchy plastics.
As the Scenic has now ditched the engine, there are just two battery options to choose from. The entry-level is a 60kWh battery with a range of up to 260 miles and a single 170hp motor. Alternatively, you can choose the 87kWh battery, which comes with a range of up to 379 miles and a single motor that delivers 217hp.
So what do you think - does the new Scenic have what it takes to compete with the best? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

Renault Scenic for me is like a modern RENAULT AVANTIME.
When you have the controls for music on the steering wheel, you have to rearrange your grip. But when you have it behind the steering wheel you don't have to readjust 👌
Matt, your arm has to rest on the ARMrest, below the window seal 🤦♂
The rotating rear cup holder with phone holder is the first real car innovation I've seen since auto-cruise control.
9:00 Greatest piece of car journalism since Jeremy Clarkson
Seeing Clarkson makes me miss his voice in FORZA MOTORSPORT 5, man.😢
Everyone hates on it but I’ve driven Renaults on and off for decades. The stalk radio control is such a well sorted thing. It’s brilliant, it just works, it’s so intuitive. I feel we should all show it more love!
I believe, I’m quite sure really, the radio control was introduced with the Renault 25 back in … 1984 😃 and it’s been there ever since! It was intuitive right from the bat. I did own a 25GTX Phase 1, MARK I (couldn’t resist). Fabulous car! The comfort… and incredibly spacious, especially in the back.
Front seats like sofas!
Back to the audio part: the double DIN Philips 4x20W Radio Cassette unit (graphic equaliser included, how very eighties :) a very decent amplifier (especially for the time period) and 4 (or 6) speakers (dual cone) as standard. Not bad, not bad at all.
The Renault radio stalk rules! I’m showing it renewed and therefore more love Mark!
Take care,
Philyvo
It is brilliant - you can really annoy your passengers - change station, source, song as often as you like. If they’ve not driven a Renault no one can figure out you’re doing it. Simple but a lot of fun 🤣
Love it om my Laguna 2 ph2 GT 204HP! One of the best bang for a buck car!
They have it on their trucks as well, although I will mark them down as on the trucks I have scraped my knuckles on them if I hold the wheel by it's spokes. I do like Renaults I still drive my 2006 scenic that I got when it was 2yo. I'm still waiting for it to go wrong so I can get a new car. 🤷🏼♂️
Anyone remember the original Scenic - when it was a real MPV and not a compact crossover?
Fr, my dad got a 2005 Scenic, really a nice car, the old good mpv
Yeah it actually served its purpose as a proper people carrier / mini van.
I still have Renault Scenic 2 2003 diesel ,its so versitale car with like 10 hidden drawers and tons off space inside ,now i mostly use it just 2 tow a caravan.But will this car live 21 years like my Scenic does(and i plan to keep it at least 5 years more) ,ironically only problems i had with scenic was all kinds off electric stuff ,engine and transmition all still run perfect even i tow 1.5 ton caravan with it
In France its full of old beaten up Scenics and similar cars, full of kids and stuff, going down the road. They're ugly as ugly can be, but I think for people who need them, they cant be beaten for the price.
@@lilietto1 I have 2 newer cars which have all moderns stuff like dual clutch automatic ,line assist and adaptive cruise control but i kind off afraid to use them for towing becase any repair on transmition would cost multiply times off worth off my old Scenic (also one is gas car so towing is out question) .So why throw away something that works and gets job done and cost so little to keep on the road
In this Renault, you can just tap the door handles (not the grabby end but somewhere in the middle). the handles will come out if you are outside the car and it's unlocked
Renault Clio 16V also has the same function as well.

More moteurs to break down, then?
@@purwantiallan5089no it doesn't, youte spreading false information
@@purwantiallan5089kamu jangan nyebarin hoax
Renault have improved so much. Good design and compelling. I’m not an SUV fan but this is not bad at all.
8/10 car for sure.
Really? I liked the previous design language more, you know the Clio V and the previous scenic
@@purwantiallan5089 the terrible brake and steering makes this a failure
No they haven’t. This is a downgrade from the previous scenic. It’s a crossover SUV. Not an mpv
Separate stalk for audio is an amazing thing about Renault. When you turn the steering wheel, all the buttons turn with it, so you don't really know where each button is. The stalk stays in place, you always know where to reach for it
..or do something like Citroen do (or used to do) where the entire front panel of the wheel is fixed and only the outer rim turns, so all the buttons and functions are fixed.
@@real_swiftydragon or that, but the disadvantage to that is that for inspecting second-hand cars you don't see whether the steering wheel is perfectly alligned with the wheels
@@worldpeace6322 I guess it’s as simple as marking the very top, perhaps with a different colored piece of leather.
@@real_swiftydragon yes, but the stalk is also very convenient. Especially how you also don't have to move half your hand to reach a button, you just extend two fingers in the back. Idk, honestly I love the stalk method, it works great. I used to drive a Renault, then I switched to a Toyota and I missed the stalk a lot. Then I bought another Renault, and I was really excited to get the stalk back 😅
As a rule, I try not to do unsafe things like adjusting my audio when I'm in bends.
“Euro NCAP says physical buttons will be “incentivised” in car safety tests from 2025. Car makers have been advised by Euro NCAP not to have important car functions on touchscreens, the idea behind coercing car makers to include more physical controls is to remove the growing reliance on touchscreens for basic car functions and keep the driver’s attention on the road ahead. “
Probably why most new cars have physical buttons for functions again.
Guess Tesla are about to go bankrupt
First time I have heard this. Great news!
@@letter1014 Meh, I enjoy the no buttons interface. Never had a problem with it, voice and steering wheel controls mitigate any need to really look away from the road. I understand that some might not like it, but if so they shouldn't buy a car with that design.
@@yissibiiyte Car will still be as good as it is today, if not better. I don't see this affecting Tesla too hard.
Ive owned many Renaults and the separate radio/music stalk is way better than steering wheel controls once you get used to it.
Im amazed people are even lending out cars to you, because you are really living up to the term 'use it like you rent it
I really appreciate giving us 0-62 mph time so it’s the equivalent of 0-100 km/h ❤😊. Thank u Mat
no one uses metres this is UK
How expensive the 2024 Renault Scenic EV could be?? For me it could be as expensive as 1980 RENAULT 5 TURBO.
Renault scenic long range has 630 km range and 43000 euros for price + a good interior quality.
Tesla 3 long range has 620 km range and 49000 euros for price + low cost interior quality .
Make your choice.
Performance?
@@aitorgallego98 who cares?
Scenic is a Model Y competitor though not a Model 3.
@@Groaznic In this case , it 's worse for Tesla Y because Renault scenic is far cheaper !
Renault long range = 43000 euros
Tesla Y long range = 52000 euros
@@stephen10. Oh wow that's a good price in your country, here in Finland the Renault long range is 49-53K depending on trim, and Tesla Y long range is 51K RWD, 54K AWD. So very comparable over here.
9:00 excellent journalism 😂😂😂😂
Many approved that journalism nicely.
Someone stole your comment and got like double the likes, bruh
Where's the new Peugeot e 3008 review been waiting for it
The car came out ages ago and we still don't have a review. Still waiting on the reviews for new Tiguan, the Lexus LBX, the Mini... They're too busy making stupid drag race videos
@@msimomi Have to agree with you there. The did not Review LBX, New Cooper, New Countryman, new Tiguan, new Kodiaq, New Superb, Ioniq 5 N, New Formentor, Leon and the e3008. I hate these Drag Races. Only about stupid Tuned Cars where nobody cares.
The boot lip is perfect if you park on a slope and don’t want your shopping to run away.!
They’re so underrated! Parked on a slope and things roll out, that’s probably why they have the lip in the first place!!
It's rare nowadays that cars get smaller wheels as they get a new generation! The previous Scenic got 20" wheels as standard on all models. But that was very unnecessary for an MPV so.
16:20 oh sod off that's so cool. Electrochromic glass is probably one of the coolest underrated techs out there right now
actually most overrated not underrated
@@JohnSmith-pn2vlTokyo bathrooms disagree
1:40 Okay Matt, you got me that one.
Remember when each car brand had its own unique design and style? If you covered the badges on this I genuinely would not be able to tell if it was a VW ID, a Peugeot or even an 'MG'. All crossover EVs look like they've been designed by the same team.
Agreed!!
To be fair, the Renault Austral and Espace look quite distinctive, and then Renault took a wrong turn and we got the Rafale, Scenic, as well as the updated Clio and Captur. If I'm not mistaken, the former Peugeot designer is now responsible for the design of the latest Renault cars. Unfortunately, this is noticeable:(
@@user-um2mk3kz9wyeah Gilles Vidal was formerly Peugeot chief designer now he works at Renault. This Scenic looks a lot more like Peugeot 3008 than VW ID tho, the grill isn't too visible in this dark blue violet color but once it's visible it looks more like a Peugeot than a VW
true. looks alot like a vw. slap a vw badge on it and no one would know
Can’t wait until the Renault Rafale video Matt & James
and Austral...😢
When are you test driving the Renault Austral?
And the Rafale ;-)
Hey matt, where is the ioniq 5 n, we are waiting man....
12:25 you don’t need to put your finger behind the handle to pull it back out, on my Megane Etech you just press the door handle near the edge like a button and it’ll pop back out for you 👍🏼
The audio controls are perfect like that.
Drove it recently - can in any way not recognize the issue with the brakes . Worked flawless was my experience
So...we're just making every car a carbon copy of the last "SUV" then?
Oh go no. Not carbon sir! Lithium 🫡
Wow this is the first modern car from our years that i like....not the exterior but that interior is so wonderful exciting and comforabtle
i like carwow and Matt is doing an excellent job, the only thing, is the destructive parts of the test... i get you want to "overexplain" something but the semi destructive handling of the car, especielly the Hood with the cables, i just don´t really like that.. it is not needed, an why treat a perfectly fine car like that, i know it is a review car, but in a world of limited ressource, i still don´t think it is okay.. but that is just me.
Definitely. Even Throttle House has it before.
Next time you feel bad about limited resources google the photo of saint tropez harbour and you will be appalled by the amount of resource extravaganza.
And don't forget after all the journalist tests are done, the car is put into sale as a used car. And someone will buy it because he will like the car. This behavior can cause future problems to the new owner. So why do the journalists behave like this? Just because they can? Because it isn't their own car? Because the car maker (or its subsidiary in the respective country) is supposed to do all the repairs caused by these "joking journalists" at its cost?
agree
I think the same
What is your issue with the windows going all the way down? Who actually opens the back windows when you have ac.
Just cooler when you're a kid init
The rotating cup holders with phone stand is genius
0:04 nope; its not look like a tren, Its a literally another 3008 but Scenic.
Hey Mat, do you have an idea when will you drive the new Renault 5?
It will be released in September at the earliest...
I like the reviews when the crew are all in the mood for making a video worth watching
Love your reviews and dry sense of humour!! Any plans to review the Renault Rafale too?
5:10 - Renault knows that you shouldn't be driving with your elbow in that position, so they made it very uncomfortable to deter drivers from doing that.
It's a safety feature
I tend to not care about french cars in general...but this one is making me rethink about them
Excellent video Mat!
One of the main reasons to buy the scenic was the three separate seats in the back,why the hell didn't they keep them? Also only electric? No thanks.
Exactly. What a pointless waste of materials, who’s going to buy this😂😂😂
Not buying a new car in 6 years time, then,... (Labour have pledged to reinstate the original bad deadline)
I have the second version and it have so many things that this don’t have. Three reclining and separate seats on the back, storage spaces under the floor on the front and on the back, drawers under the seats on the front and on the back, fully reclining seats for a bigger trunk, etc. Not so pretty but with different solutions for the age it has.
Correction with the door handle. You can press it to make it pop up 12:20 at least it works like this for the megane e-tech
Can you do a review of the new Austral!?
This reminds of my first car when I started driving in 1989, when my father got a 1972 Renault LeCar from a coworker and I had a blast driving that little, oil eating machine. Lasted me 3 years before I drove it into the ground and gave it away to a coworker who i lost contact with shortly after.
Hope you do the new Espace review
The best arm rest- cup holder- ipad holder I ever seen!!
Really pretty quite good video Mat!
The camera was moving way too much.. making feel sick
Apparently...Jean-Miichel Jarre had some input with the "noise" you heard....
You get used to the stalk quickly. Honestly quite handy once you dailed in the muscle memory. I´m happy with my Megane E-Tech. Hard plastic on the side is indeed true!
That wobbly feeling could be due to a structural problem of electric cars with flat batteries. Due to their flat shape, even if they sit low (and that gives the car a low center of gravity, which is good for handling), they are wide which is very prejudicial to one of the three moments of inertia. Unless the car compensates that with a very stiff suspension, which compromises ride comfort, it is going to have that wobbly feeling. Very few manufacturers have actually decided to go for narrower batteries with inverted T shape (using the space the transmission tunnel would leave) to improve that, but then you have a slightly higher center of gravity. Still, they tend to handle better and allow for better suspension solutions, such as the Polestar 2. Just a guess, I don't know the car nor have I driven it.
Capture, Symbioz, Megane, Scenic, Rafale , they all look very similar and it is not just the usual corporate face, it is the whole SUV style that makes them a bit interchangable. They look quite good but is it necessary to copy the style across the whole range.
Unfortunately, all the listed models, with the exception of the Megane, very much resemble Peugeot. The design of Megane E-Tech, Austral and Espace is really recognizable and original, but it was quickly abandoned:(
@@user-um2mk3kz9wMegane, Austral and Espace were designed before the arrival of Gilles Vidal, that's why they don't look like Peugeots
Mat, your shooting schedule is insane
Not sure if it is the coloring, but it looks 100% like ID4.
Well they are both SUVs and it seems all manufacturers are ‘copying’ one another! It’s rare to ever see a new hatchback or minivan!!
It's definitely the coloring. In brighter color like in red or white, the distinctive grill will be more visible which will distinguish it from the bland VW IDs. But the problem is, the distinctive grill looks very Peugeot-esque :(
Can't find a video review for e-3008, can you please help me find it?
13:04 I DID NOT KNOW THAT CARWOW WAS HIRING 😅
It’s beautiful and very modern looking.
That pop up banner really never showed up 😂
17:25 thank you please 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i like the quiet intro 0:53
See the Austin allegro was years ahead of its time with its quartec steering wheel..
Sound Jean Michel Jarre. How is it on one pedal driving?
Those wheel caps 😮😮😮
Did Matt forgot to say anything about the round window? I did see some round thing on the left window behind the driver.
Clicked on the pop up banner and didn't find the full in-depth review of the Peugeot e-3008, is it only me or the link is not there? It takes you to the written review but no video review 😢
I still have Renault Scenic 2 2003 diesel ,its so versatile car with like 10 hidden drawers and tons off space inside ,now i mostly use it just 2 tow a caravan.But will this car live 21 years like my Scenic does(and i plan to keep it at least 5 years more ) ,not to mention that towing with with electric is impossible, maybe only around town .Ironically only problems i had with scenic was all kinds off electric stuff but engine and transmition all still run perfect even i tow 1.5 ton caravan with it..
Towing with EVs is not "impossible", it does eat up the range but in truth their are so many fast chargers around nowadays that range is not an issue anymore... The new Scenic can tow 1100kgs with brakes
@@arthemis1039 I saw range test with Cybertruck which has more then 100 kwh battery towing caravan and it was only 85 miles.To charge it you need to disconnect caravan every time so in reality towing is not possible.
Also my scenic can tow 1600 kg even is 21 years old
I'm convinced filming with the DJI pocket osmo 3... There has been more active movement in the video... Notably in the interior practicality with movements
Ah man, i wanted those gesture controls! Dont play with emotions Matt!
it’s 4:00AM for me in Canada
What part of Canada are you in? It's currently 6:30am in New England.
Mat has got a different treatment for trunk cover! 😂😂
❤️The sunroof
17:20 Man, I was hoping for him to say Double plus good.
More normal car reviews like this please. I want to see stuff I might actually drive one day
I’m getting whiplash from the camera movement
Regarding back camera, why don't car manufacturer design it like it was (is?) on VW? On my Golf at CC it was under the VW badge and it pop up when put the car in reverse so it didn't get dirty when you drive.
2:07 The Renault badge looks like that on a Rivian r1t steering wheel
The boots space part 😂
Looks like Renault did not keep the intern who made the R-Link2 during a 2 weeks internship.
:D
Nice clock ! IWC?. Topgun?
Pls make a video on Nissan gtr 1000HP and aventador svj
Matt can you test the renault austral please
I think this will sell very well as the Peugeot 3008 EV is more expensive. Yes the petrol model is similar in price but with typical Stellantis style the EV model is £10,000 more than the petrol.
We need grand kangoo with 87 kWh battery for proper 7 seater ev. We also need good phev power on grand kanggo, with 200 plus hp and around 100km of ev range....
So one of the most famous MPVs in history is now an SUV? How moronic do you have to be to make that change?
Manufactures just seem to be copying everyone else! Every car is becoming the exact same and soon it will just be down to what your favorite car badge is!!
I guess they looked at their sales numbers and saw that nobody is buying MVPs anymore..
@@real_swiftydragon Cost reduction
@@fug33 because no one’s making them! And if so, use a new name or people are going to be looking at them if they want a big family car and get disappointed immediately. Thats the point of branding.
You haven't seen the new Opel Frontera yet🫣
5:17 what's that sound 😂😂😂😂
Totally agree with Matt , there is a "Coq"😂
Not Matt getting stuck in the stalks 😆😂
weird that Renault don’t have an AWD/dual motor version. If they did, they might steal some Tesla Model Y sales
Would TH-cam restrict the video if he didn't blur the middle finger?
I don't get it. Wasn't the Scenic like a 7 seater van? Now you have the new megane, austral and now the scenic? They look the same in size, what's even the difference beside styling?
Matt, you've already reviewed the Renault Scenic, but why did you miss the Renault Austral and Rafale?
9:00 made me laugh so hard XD this world is not real anymore hahahaha
The main problem with Renault is that its engineers don’t like the concept of “intuition”…. They always try to educate us
I wonder how reliable it will be. Previous models had a lot of trouble with electrical installations and this one is.. electrical completely.
Zoes have prooved reliable in over 12 years they've been produced. Renault does have experience in EVs now, especially since the base of the Scenic and Megane are shared with Nissan
@@arthemis1039 I welcome that. I like Renault. But I, and many other people experienced trouble with electrical installation with their own. It's a reasonable thing to wonder
Any speed limit regulator making that 60-62 difficult?
I also want the austral full hybrid reviewwwwwq
I will give Renault this: when the door handle mechanism that pops them out brakes or doesn't want tot work you can just pull them with you hand.
Multi sense for multi sensations - sport - comfort - etc…
That roof must use electric when it's in the opaque setting. I really like it though. It's something I saw on grand designs years ago, it's a cool feature.
Do a review of the Honda Zrv please
