| Estimation Globale |

| Description |
| Scenic has matured into an almost full-sized family MPV; and now there's the long-wheelbase seven-seater Grand Scenic, too. It's not quite as nimble to drive as before, but it's still an excellent choice. |

| Contrà´le technique |
| Who needs an Espace? The roomy Scenic is now available as a seven-seater - Grand Scenic - as well as in the original five-seat format. Either way, it's hardly a compact MPV any more: this is a large, weighty family-sized people-carrier. Perhaps as a result, it has lost the pleasingly car-like handling qualities of its predecessor. It's extremely comfortable and well equipped, there's loads of luggage space, and it rides well, with noise well-suppressed. 1.5 and 1.9 dCi diesels are the recommended choices, with plenty of pulling power and good cruising abilities. The petrol engines struggle a bit, especially with the big Grand Scenic body. Renault offers an extensive, slightly confusing range of specifications, trims and options, so there is scope for a bespoke vehicle. Like Megane, this Scenic has complex electronics and electrics, including keyless entry/ignition, but so far it all seems to work reliably. It's likely to hold its value well. |
| Points positifs |
- Good looking, roomy and practical
- Smooth ride and a comfortable cabin
- Another modern Renault that earns five safety stars
|
| Points negatifs |
- 1.4 16v and 1.5 dCi are leisurely performers
- 2.0 petrol engine gets loud at high revs
- Steering is a bit too light and remote
