Revitalising the MPV segment

The guiding principle behind the fourth-generation SCENIC was to provide a completely fresh take on the compact MPV. For the first time, like the new Espace, the model features a three-part windscreen that provides a panoramic view and enhanced visibility.

A number of styling features give the new SCENIC a dynamic edge. Compared with the SCENIC 3, its ground clearance has been raised and the rear overhang has been shortened, while a wider track at both the front and rear provide the vehicle with a particularly solid stance.

The new SCENIC comes with a distinctive lighting signature in the form of C-shaped head lights that benefit from LED Pure Vision technology like higher-end models.

The veil will come off the new SCENIC on the Renault stand at the Geneva Motor Show at midday on March 1 with Groupe Renault’s Chairman and CEO Carlos Ghosn and SVP Corporate Design Laurens van den Acker.

Join us to hear about all of the features packed into the new SCENIC along with the story behind the story.
