The New Renault Scenic Has Some Amazing Tricks!

День томуJack takes a first look at the new Renault Scenic E-Tech. The biggest of Renault's four EV lineup, sitting above the Megane and upcoming 4 and 5, does this new Scenic boast the same level of innovation and clever design as its predecessors, or has it turned into just another crossover SUV?

No-one's batteries have rare earths in them, except for one manufacturer 15 years ago that put some ytterbium in their LFP cells. So the battery part of that is a pointless claim (except of course that clueless articles claim they do and countering nonsense has become important). No rare earths in the motors presumably means they are using electromagnets throughout, not permanent magnets (as they almost all have neodymium in). I think that's a trend in motor design. PM motors are very good as you get rotor energised without using any energy nor brushes but they do have coasting losses. Being able to turn the rotor off fixes that. Complicated tradeoffs in which is most efficient overall. For powertools PM defo wins. For cars I think it depends on the details.

Love it, one of the best looking EVs out there for me and certainly the best from the established western manufacturers. The exterior is a good combo of modern and interesting but not too fussy and the interior looks practical and useable with decent tech. It looks really clean and fresh but also recognisably a car with familiar controls and layouts that are proven and work. (great review BTW :o)

I loved my old Scenic RX4, it was perfect as an all-rounder for my job in the countryside. I'm looking for an EV now, and hope that Renault will release a Scenic E-Tech with dual motors, increased ride height and possibly a rugged-ish exterior: at this point the only options seem to be the Solterra/bZ4x (too inefficient) and the future EX30 Cross Country (too small).
@thorsev6960 7 місяців тому
bZ4X AWD was almost efficient as the Model Y RWD in the big Norwegian Sumer range test (141 Wh/km vs 131) so they are hardly inefficient. Smallish usable capacity yes, inefficient no.

I like this review as we own a 2018 scenic and love it, so when we are ready to get our next car we might venture down the electric route and give this scenic a try. Nice design outside and in once again, space is thought out giving the car lots more compartments to store things in. I agree with the boot design, I feel it could of come out from being flat for a more rounded look which could assist with the overall aerodynamics & the aesthetics.

First impressions good. However, parts of the car do raise questions. . What is real world performance like? If the glass roof cracks, how difficult and exoensive is it to replace (thinking about falling branches and hail storms). The middle screen console is directed too much to the driver. Can it be swivled towards the passenger. With the large cockpit dislay, the middle infotainment screen looks oddly overkill. I just feel like ripping itboff the dashboard. Can the center infotainment screen be removed and the carbsokely operated in the cockpit screen only? Despite the clever explanation of the the car motor compnents on the front, does it have a front boot? Does it have airco? Does itbsupport any form of V2G, V2L or V2H? Does itbsupport autonomous safety features? Is the turning circle good? Etc.

Not convinced the heat pump is as big an issue as you think. Renault say it adds ‘upto 9% range below 11c’. So an extra 20 miles in the coldest months, only really a benefit on a journey over 220 miles or so.
