Bold European SUV returns with big changes

A former family favourite has landed with an electric revamp.

Renault has announced pricing and specifications for its revived Scenic, which re-joins the Aussie market as an all-electric SUV.

• New ultra-affordable Euro EV launches

The car will have several all-electric rivals when it lands in Australia, but it's been competitively priced compared to some alternatives.

It will directly rival BYD’s Sealion 7, which starts from $54,990, before on-road costs and the Zeekr 7X, starting from $57,900.  

In terms of dimensions, it's more inline with smaller fare like the MG S5 small electric SUV.

This tight pricing comes off the back of the brand shaving $10,000 off the price of its Megane E-Tech only months after Renault launched it in Australia last year. Car warranty: five-year/100,000km - Battery warranty: eight-year/160,000km.

The Scenic E-Tech's single electric motor in the entry-level variant transfers 125kW and 280Nm to the front wheels and can shift the car from 0-100km/h in 8.6 seconds. 

The more powerful motor available in up-spec models trims that standard sprint time to 7.9 seconds, producing 160kW and 300Nm. 

The car has three optional paint choices which are metallic ($800), two-tone ($1000), and matt ($1200), which is exclusive to the range-topping variant. 

The last Renault to wear the Scenic badge left the market about 15 years ago, but it was a small, five-seater boxy MPV. 

Deliveries on the new Scenic E-Tech will begin later this year or early next year, with the top-of-the range Esprit Alpine launching before other model variants.
