Renault Scenic 2024 DRIVEN: The electric SUV to buy? | batchreviews (James Batchelor)

The original Renault Scenic was loved by families in the nineties and noughties. It pretty much created the whole mini-MPV craze, but times have changed and people-carriers aren't as popular as they once were.

Renault has decided to reboot the Scenic as an electric SUV to rival the Skoda Enyaq and Peugeot E-3008. However, on account of its spacious interior, Renault prefers the term 'family car' than 'electric SUV'.

It comes in two battery sizes: 60kWW, giving a claimed WLTP range of 260 miles, and a larger – and predicted best-seller – 87kWh battery should be good enough for 379 miles before it needs to be topped up.

If you've seen the Megane E-Tech's interior, the Scenic's won't be too much of a surprise as it's brimming with lovely design details and quality materials. back seat passengers also have loads of space and can make use of a clever centre armrest.

Watch my video review to see if it's the electric SUV – sorry, family car – you should be buying.
