The new Hybrid Renault Scenic and Grand Scenic gives amazing MPG and very low g/km.

  • dCi 110 HYBRID ASSIST version of the fourth generation Scénic and Grand Scénic available to order now in UK
  • HYBRID ASSIST system improves emissions, economy and performance of the dCi 110 engine thanks to its 10kW electric motor powered by a 48-volt 150Wh battery
  • dCi 110 HYBRID ASSIST system achieves CO2 emissions of 94g/km with fuel consumption of up to 80.7mpg (NEDC)
  • Renault’s first foray into HYBRID ASSIST technology
  • Active Emergency Braking System (AEBS) with Pedestrian Detection as standard across the range – unique-in-class
  • Pioneering 20-inch alloy wheels as standard
  • 5-star Euro NCAP rating and high levels of Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) equipment as standard
  • Available to order now priced from £25,055 on-the-road
  • All-New Scenic range priced from £21,605 on-the-road
Renault’s distinctive fourth-generation All-New Scénic and All-New Grand Scénic range is now available with a dCi 110 HYBRID ASSIST powertrain, offering a combination of even lower fuel consumption and emissions and high levels of driving enjoyment from the stylish compact MPV. The dCi 110 HYBRID ASSIST engine is available on both All-New Scénic and Grand Scénic and can be ordered now, priced from £25,055 on-the-road.
Harnessing the same qualities that make the All-New Scénic range a stylish and technologically-savvy compact MPV such as Active Emergency Braking System (AEBS) with Pedestrian Detection as standard, innovative 20-inch alloy wheels and an 8.7-inch portrait touchscreen, the dCi 110 HYBRID ASSIST versions provide even lower CO2 emissions and improved fuel economy – an MPG improvement of more than 10 per cent over the standard dCi 110 engine.
The All-New Scénic and Grand Scénic dCi 110 HYBRID ASSIST mark Renault’s first foray into HYBRID ASSIST engine technology. The dCi 110 HYBRID ASSIST engine features a 10kW electric motor located under the bonnet that works in combination with the internal combustion engine. The motor is powered by a 48-volt 150Wh battery located  behind the 2nd row seats for All-New Scénic or in the spare wheel housing for All-New Grand Scénic.
Alongside the economical benefits, it also improves pick-up at low speeds providing a boost of acceleration, particularly at low revs (even around 1,000rpm) regardless of the gear – the technology provides up to 70Nm additional torque in certain situations. During deceleration, the Motor Generation Unit (MGU) recovers energy for use by the vehicle’s electrical system and for storing in the system’s independent battery. It also works in association with the internal combustion engine when the driver re-accelerates – an indicator on the dash lets the driver know when the engine is deploying or recovering power.
Thanks to this innovation, the All-New Scénic dCi 110 HYBRID ASSIST’s CO2 emission figure of 94g/km makes it one of the best in class for economy. The technology dispenses with the need for a high-voltage battery thanks to the electric motor, a consideration that fits perfectly with Renault’s philosophy of delivering technology to the widest possible audience at an affordable price. The dCi 110 HYBRID ASSIST versions are priced £1,000 more than the equivalent dCi 110 variants in the All-New Scénic range, although benefit from a reduced first year VED rate of £110 due to its classification as an “alternatively fuelled” vehicle and a reduced standard rate of £130 thereafter.  
The Scénic and Grand Scénic dCi 110 HYBRID ASSIST range is available in three trim levels – Dynamique Nav, Dynamique S Nav and Signature Nav. Each version provides a comprehensive standard specification, rising to the truly luxurious at the top-of-the-range.
Available across the range, the Visio active safety system provides Lane Departure Warning, Traffic Sign Recognition and Automatic High/Low Beam headlights. An electronic parking brake, LED daytime running lights, roof rails (Grand Scénic only), automatic dual-zone climate control, automatic headlights and windscreen wipers, electrically adjustable heated and folding door mirrors, F1-style integrated fuel filler, leather steering wheel, 4 x 20W DAB radio with fingertip controls and an AUX input with Bluetooth® connectivity and a seven-inch touchscreen are fitted to every version. Cruise control, speed limiter, a two-way adjustable steering column, height adjustable driver seat, gear-shift indicator and a 12-volt front socket are all also standard.
The All-New Scénic and Grand Scénic have been given a five star safety rating by Euro NCAP. Passive safety features as standard across every version in the range include six airbags, seat belts with load limiters and pretensioners at the front, side impact protection bars and ISOFIX child-seat mounting points on the two outer rear seats. Active safety features on each version in the range include Emergency Brake Assist, ABS with Electronic Brake-force Distribution, ESC (Electronic Stability Control) with traction and understeer control and Hill Start Assist.
Dynamique Nav adds to this with further driver aids such as front and rear parking sensors, Fatigue Alert whereby the vehicle monitors steering control to detect tiredness and alerts the driver to take a break; and handsfree keycard with walkaway lock and welcome functionality. This convenience function enables the driver to walkaway without needing to press anything on the key and the car will lock, the door mirrors will fold in and the headlights will turn off. When the driver returns to the car with the key, the car will unlock, the door mirrors will unfold and the lights will turn on.
Renault’s Multi-Sense ambient lighting and driving mode selector enabling the driver to personalise their driving experience is also standard on Dynamique Nav and above. There are five modes to select within the unique system to alter the driving set up and interior ambiance – Neutral, Comfort, Eco, Perso and Sport. Multi-Sense can be used to modify the accelerator pedal and engine response, engine sound, steering weight, interior lighting ambience through a choice of five colours and – where fitted – the speed of the Efficient Dual Clutch (EDC) gear changes. The system is accessed via the R-LINK 2 display through a button on the centre console.
To the interior, Dynamique Nav gains a sliding centre console providing 13-litres of storage with four USB ports and AUX input shared between front and rear passengers, Arkamys 3D Sound 4x35W DAB radio and a seven-inch touchscreen housing the R-LINK 2 multimedia system providing satellite navigation with live traffic updates and Western European mapping.
Second row passengers are well-catered for with rear-mounted aviation-style tables on front seats, one-touch folding rear seats – activated either directly from a keypad inside the boot or via R-LINK 2 multimedia system in the front, LED reading lights, sunblinds and cupholders.
Puddle lighting under the door mirrors and chrome detailing along the side window line, tailgate and front grille help the Dynamique Nav to further stand out.
The Dynamique S Nav provides unique-in-segment features such as an 8.7-inch portrait touchscreen housing the R-LINK 2 multimedia system and a colour head-up display, rear parking camera, panoramic glass sunroof with electric sunblind, auto-dimming rearview mirror and extra tinted windows to the rear and tailgate.
The top of the range Signature Nav features Carbon Black leather upholstery with Nappa leather steering wheel, electrically-operated height and lumbar adjustment to driver and front passenger seats with a courtesy function, driver’s seat position memory function, full LED headlights with ‘See Me Home’ function and front fog lights with cornering function.
All-New Scénic and Grand Scénic dCi 110 HYBRID ASSIST versions are available with a range of safety and convenience features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot and Safe Distance warnings, Handsfree Parking and 360-degree parking sensors.
All versions are covered by Renault’s four year warranty. The car is protected for four years or 100,000 miles (first two years have no mileage limit). There is also a three-year paint warranty and 12 years’ cover against corrosion. Servicing is required once a year or every 16,000 miles for the dCi 110 HYBRID ASSIST.
UK ordering is now open with first customer deliveries arriving in August.

  • Priced from £27,500 on-the-road
  • Available to order now with deliveries commencing later this summer
Having made its European debut at the Paris Motor Show last autumn, the All-New Koleos is now available to order, expanding Renault’s crossover line-up alongside Kadjar and Captur. Offering Renault’s warm and sleek design language, All-New Koleos offers the rugged capability of an SUV with the elegant refinement of a large executive saloon. 

Assured handling, excellent interior comfort and quality as well as a host of advanced technology and convenience items ensure an exceptional experience for driver and passengers alike. All-New Koleos is priced from £27,500 and UK deliveries commence later this summer.
Boasting a powerful stance that sets it apart from its rivals, the All-New Koleos takes Renault design cues from other recently introduced C- and D-segment models such as the All-New Mégane and Talisman. Renault’s signature C-shaped LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) at the front and always-illuminated horizontal DRLs to the rear make the All-New Koleos instantly recognisable.
All-New Koleos provides a comfortable, spacious and clear cabin thanks to its opening panoramic sunroof and impressive rear passenger leg room which is amongst the very best-in-class thanks to its five-seat architecture.
Available with Renault’s ALL MODE 4x4-i four-wheel drive technology, and ground clearance of 210mm, the All-New Koleos complements its exceptional refinement with all-terrain ability.
The All-New Koleos is offered in a six version high-end line-up based on two trim levels that will be familiar to Renault owners – Dynamique S Nav and Signature Nav. Both trim levels provide a truly comprehensive standard specification.
The dCi 130 engine is available on both trim levels with a six-speed manual transmission and two-wheel drive.
The dCi 175 engine is available with either a six-speed manual or seven-speed Auto X-Tronic transmission – both with ALL-MODE 4x4-i four-wheel drive.
Exceptional interior space
Built on the Renault-Nissan Alliance Common Module Family (CMF) C/D platform – that is in use on Kadjar, Mégane, Scénic, Talisman and Espace from the Renault line-up – the five-seat D-segment SUV provides a wealth of space for both front and rear passengers.
During the design process of All-New Koleos, exceptional interior space for five occupants was a main focus. With an overall length of 4672mm and wheelbase of 2705mm, passengers are provided with comfort and space throughout the cabin. Indeed, rear knee room is amongst the best in its class at 289mm with rear passengers also benefitting from dual air vents, dual USBs (with two more in the front), a central armrest with cupholders and extra tinted rear windows. 
The spacious interior has not been detrimental to boot space – 458-litres (VDA) with all seats in place and 1,690-litres (VDA) with rear seats down. Achieving maximum boot capacity couldn’t be easier thanks to the All-New Koleos’ One-Touch easy folding rear seats whereby they can be folded (individually or all at once) via a button in the boot. The Signature Nav comes with a Powered Automatic Tailgate that can open or close the rear boot by a press on the keycard or, conveniently if carrying luggage, by waving a foot under the rear bumper.
All-New Koleos has a kerb weight of 1,650kg and a towing capability of 2,000kg (braked) and 750kg (unbraked).
Exceptional comfort and convenience as standard
Renault’s advanced driver assistance systems, such as Advanced Emergency Braking System (AEBS), Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Over-speed Prevention with Traffic Sign Recognition and Hill Start Assist have been applied across the line-up. A rear parking camera with front and rear parking sensors is also included on all versions as well as an electrochrome rear mirror.
Standard safety features include ABS with Electronic Brake-force Distribution, ESC (Electronic Stability Control) with traction and understeer control, cruise control, speed limiter, Hill Start Assist, six airbags, seat belts with load limiters and pretensioners at the front, side impact protection bars and ISOFIX child-seat mounting points on the two outer rear seats.
Providing an airy feel to the cabin, Dynamique S features an opening panoramic sunroof. Part-black leather upholstery with extra tinted rear windows, ambient lighting, cup holders able to heat and cool drinks for front passengers and a central armrest with in-built cup holders in the rear, maintain a comfortable yet practical feel to the All-New Koleos. Automatic Dual-zone climate control, a Hands Free Keycard and automatic lights and wipers are also standard.
Ensuring all passengers can keep fully charged throughout their journey, four USB and two AUX ports are provided. The Arkamys 3D Sound 4x35W DAB radio with seven-inch touchscreen R-LINK2 multimedia system includes satellite navigation with TomTom® LIVE traffic updates, Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay™ smartphone replications, Western European mapping, Bluetooth audio streaming and Handsfree connectivity.
Outside, the All-New Koleos Dynamique S sports 18-inch ‘Agapi’ two-tone alloy wheels and electrically- adjustable heated and folding door mirrors. Longitudinal roof bars provide a hint at the rugged off-road capabilities of the SUV.
Signature Nav adds to this specification with 19-inch ‘Galiki’ two-tone alloy wheels and full LED ‘Pure Vision’ headlights to the exterior. 
Occupants are cocooned inside with full black leather upholstery with heated front seats and the R-LINK2 multimedia system is increased to an 8.7-inch portrait touchscreen as seen on All-New Mégane and All-New Scénic. A Powered Automatic Tailgate ensures loading the boot is as convenient as possible. 
Optional Equipment
The optional Climate Pack offers ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, heated steering wheel, and a heated front windscreen, and is available on Signature Nav.
A 13-speaker BOSE sound system and Hands Free Parking are available on Signature Nav as well as the possibility of specifying either Sierra Brown or Silver Grey in lieu of the standard Carbon Black leather upholstery. Metallic paint is available as an option on both trim levels.
Powertrains and Technical
The All-New Koleos is manufactured at the Busan plant in South Korea alongside Renault-Samsung Motors models.
There is a choice of two diesel engines – the dCi 130, a 1.6-litre/130hp engine with six-speed manual transmission available in two-wheel drive. This engine provides fuel economy of up to 57.6mpg (NEDC Combined Cycle) and CO2 emissions of 128g/km.
The dCi 175, a 2-litre/175hp engine, is available with either a six-speed manual or seven-speed Auto X-Tronic transmission, in four-wheel drive. It is the most powerful diesel engine in the Renault range with 380Nm of torque at 2,000 rpm. The manual transmission provides fuel economy of up to 50.4 mpg (NEDC Combined Cycle), compared with 47.9mpg for the Auto X-Tronic. The manual’s CO2 emissions are 148g/km and the Auto X-Tronic has CO2 emissions of 156g/km.
The new X-Tronic automatic continuously variable transmission offers fluid, responsive driving without any interruption of torque. X-Tronic adjusts continuously whilst maintaining optimal engine speed and can also simulate gear shifts, producing even more powerful acceleration.
The four-wheel-drive versions of the All-New Renault Koleos come equipped with the new ALL MODE 4x4-i technology. This enables you to select your driving mode – AUTO, LOCK or 2WD – and keep complete control of the powertrain on any terrain.
All versions provide the peace of mind of Renault’s 4+ warranty and assistance package. The car is protected by Renault for four years or 100,000 miles (first two years have no mileage limit). There is also a three-year paint warranty and 12 years’ cover against corrosion.
Servicing is required once a year or every 18,000 miles.

Renault announces pricing and specification for the all new Captur crossover.

  • Bolder, more assertive look, closer in style to its Renault crossover siblings Kadjar and Koleos
  • More luxurious and refined interior
  • New top-of-the-range Signature S Nav version 
  • More connected, R-LINK now compatible with Android Auto™
  • Front parking sensors, Blind Spot Warning, Hands-Free Parking and fixed panoramic sunroof now available
  • Five trim levels across a 24-strong version line-up
  • CO2 emissions as low as 95g/km & fuel economy of up to 78.5mpg (NEDC combined)
  • Captur was Europe’s best-selling B-SUV in 2016 with 215,679 vehicles sold
  • New Captur priced from £15,355 on-the-road
  • UK ordering now open with deliveries to commence from July
Renault has announced UK pricing and specifications for the New Renault Captur following its global debut at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show. Europe’s best-selling urban crossover in 2016 has reinvented itself to feature more distinctive styling and new advanced technologies, without sacrificing any of its user-friendliness. It is available to order now with first deliveries expected from July.
Bolder exterior look and upgraded interiors
The New Captur has evolved by taking a step closer in style to its bigger sibling, the Kadjar. The radiator grille has been modified to bring it more into line with Renault’s crossover family, with the notable addition of a chrome strip. At both the front and rear, the bumper incorporates new skid plates in evidence of the Captur’s adventurer credentials.

The C-shaped LED Daytime Running Lights, recognised as the brand’s lighting signature, are incorporated into the bumper. The rear lights similarly include this hallmark, visible both night and day. Full-LED ‘Pure Vision’ front lights (depending on version) enhance both the vehicle’s look and safety, while reducing glare.
The New Captur builds on the model’s original success, including its striking two-tone colour scheme, with three new body colours: Desert Orange, Ocean Blue and Amethyst as well as a new Mercury Silver option for the roof. There will be 36 potential combinations enabling customers to tailor the appearance of their New Captur to match their personal taste. 
Seven different interior touch packs are available in Ivory, Blue, Caramel, Red, Bronze-tinted Chrome, Satin Chrome and Smoked Chrome. These are complemented by exterior customisation packs in a choice of six colours: Ivory, Blue, Cappuccino, Red, Satin Chrome and Orange.
Three types of wheel are available across the range: one 16-inch (Adventure) and two different 17-inch wheels (Emotion and Explore).
New Captur can now be specified with a fixed-glass roof, from Dynamique S Nav upwards.
The cabin is more refined, benefitting from higher grade plastics, sleek chrome and elegantly subdued colours. The steering wheel also benefits from higher grade materials and, in higher-end versions, comes trimmed with full-grain leather. The gear lever boasts a more modern appearance, while the door panels have been revised to seamlessly incorporate buttons and controls.
The new seat design is more cosseting, offering additional lateral support and greater comfort. At the same time, New Captur retains its most practical features, including its zip removable and washable upholstery. Some new fixed upholstery designs are also offered, including two new part-leather upholsteries. 
Advanced multimedia systems
Three multimedia systems are fitted according to equipment level: R&GO®, Media Nav and R-LINK.
R&GO® is Renault’s smart, simple system that transforms the user’s smartphone into a connected tablet installed in a universal cradle. This practical system enables the user to intuitively access the car’s most useful functions, including navigation (through an in-app purchase), telephone, multimedia and vehicle data.
Renault R-LINK provides the New Captur with an advanced multimedia system. More customisable than ever, it comes with a 7-inch screen. It incorporates navigation with real-time traffic updates, 3G connectivity, Bluetooth, media playback (photos, videos) and a wide variety of applications via Renault’s R-LINK Store, as well as management of the vehicle’s driving aids (depending on version).
For the first time R-LINK is compatible with Android Auto™ granting users easy and direct access – via the 7-inch R-LINK display – to smartphone applications: telephone functions, navigation, music and messages. The New Captur is the first A- or B-segment Renault to offer this advanced technology.
Blind Spot Warning and easier parking
For the first time, the New Captur incorporates Blind Spot Warning, which is available from Dynamique S Nav. Four sensors work together to detect the presence of moving vehicles in the door mirror blind spots, including motorbikes and bicycles. When a vehicle is detected in the driver’s blind spot for longer than a second, a warning indicator immediately lights up in the door mirror. Active at speeds between 19mph and 87mph, this technology makes motoring safer for everybody.
In addition to its rear parking sensors, and depending on version, the New Captur is also available with front parking sensors and a reverse parking camera to simplify manoeuvring and help to avoid the bumps and scrapes that are an everyday risk in built-up areas.
Another new addition – available for higher-end versions – is the Hands-Free Parking function, which significantly facilitates parking manoeuvres. The driver begins by indicating what type of parking space they are looking for, be it parallel, perpendicular or at an angle. When the vehicle is travelling at speeds below 19mph, this system detects all available spaces. Once a suitable space has been identified, the system calculates and co-ordinates the vehicle’s steering, meaning the driver does not need to touch the wheel and can focus solely on acceleration and braking. 
New Captur range
The New Captur is offered in five trim levels that owners of other Renault vehicles will be accustomed to – Expression+, Dynamique Nav, Dynamique S Nav, Signature X Nav (previously Signature Nav), plus a new, even more luxurious trim – Signature S Nav. Each version provides a comprehensive standard specification, rising to the truly luxurious toward the top of the range.
The Captur has Euro NCAP’s maximum five-star safety rating.
All New Captur models have a reinforced structure, high-efficiency front airbags, head/chest side airbags, seat belts with pre-tensioners and force limiters (front seats), anti-whiplash headrests, force limiter function (rear side seats), anti-submarining front seats (Fix4sure). For child safety there are three-point ISOFIX child seat anchor points on the front passenger and outer rear seats.
All versions of New Captur are equipped with ABS with Emergency Brake Assist, Electronic Stability Control, Electronic Traction Control, cruise control, speed limiter and Hill Start Assist, providing a comprehensive array of systems to support safe handling and prompt, reassuring braking performance. It also benefits from a Roll Movement Intervention system, which helps restore stability in extreme situations where an excessive angle of body roll is detected.
Expression+
The New Captur delivers a quality feel even from the entry level Expression+, with Ivory Interior Touch Pack and 16-inch alloy wheels with black inserts. Black front and rear skid plates are incorporated into the bumper. Expression+ also incorporates the new front and rear C-shaped LED Daytime Running Lights signature, Hands Free Keycard and air conditioning. DAB radio is now also standard across the range.
Even from this entry equipment level, the New Captur is completely connected, courtesy of the addition of the new version of R&GO®
Dynamique Nav
As before, the Dynamique Nav is equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen housing the Media Nav infotainment system. This comprehensive multimedia system offers excellent value for money, considering the wealth of features it incorporates such as satellite navigation with traffic information, Bluetooth® handsfree calling and audio streaming via the user’s smartphone. It also includes climate control and Renault’s ECO2 function to optimise driving performance and fuel consumption. Compared to the original Captur, the new model adds 17-inch alloy wheel with black inserts and attractive new upholstery design.
Dynamique S Nav
Dynamique S Nav trim includes two-tone bodywork, extra tinted windows, a central armrest, a leather steering wheel and leather topped handbrake and gear lever. It also includes rear parking sensors and adds new roof colour options, full LED front headlamps with cornering function, front fog lamps and grey front and rear skid plates.
From Dynamique S upwards, customers can now order a fixed glass sunroof available only with two-tone paint and the Premium Pack consisting of an aluminium pedal unit, electrochrome rearview mirror and sunglasses storage.
Signature X Nav
Signature Nav has been upgraded to Signature X Nav. As before, it has part-leather upholstery, heated front seats and Grip Xtend advanced traction control system with mud and snow tyres. It also has R-LINK with 7" touchscreen now compatible with Android Auto™, TomTom® Satellite Navigation, DAB Radio, Bluetooth® handsfree calling and USB ports. An aluminium pedal unit, electrochrome rearview mirror and sunglasses storage is also standard. The New Captur Signature X Nav adds Light Harmony coloured panels on the doors linked by a sweep of beige colour along the lower half of the dashboard, plus new 17-inch ‘Emotion’ alloy wheels with black inserts and front parking sensors.
The Signature X Nav’s Grip Xtend System assists on difficult surfaces, giving the Captur off-roading ability. Maximum grip on the road in difficult driving conditions is provided through the use of a simple thumbwheel on the centre console allowing the driver to take their Captur across different terrains without having to worry about the car's handling whilst driving.
All-New Signature S Nav
The interior ambience of the New Captur Signature S sets it apart from the rest of the range with heated part-Nappa leather seats. An aluminium pedal unit, electrochrome rearview mirror and sunglasses storage is also standard.
To the exterior, a chrome-detailed grille immediately sets the New Captur Signature S Nav apart. Careful attention has also been paid to the front and rear skid plates, which feature a more metallic grey finish. The same effect is visible around the windows and drip seals, which are picked out in gloss black. Signature S Nav versions enjoy a specific range of colours, including the new Amethyst metallic paint. New wheels are the same as the Signature X – 17-inch Emotion alloy wheels with black inserts.
Finally, all of the in-car technologies available as options for the New Captur, including Blind Spot Warning, Hands Free Parking, are standard in the Signature S Nav. These features are complemented by a premium BOSE® six-speaker audio system and the very latest version of Renault’s R-LINK multimedia system, which grants access to all of the car’s multimedia functions with a single click, as well as all relevant smartphone applications courtesy of Android Auto™. 
Powertrains
The UK line-up features the 898cc TCe 90 and 1.2-litre TCe 120 petrol engines, plus the 1.5-litre dCi 90 and dCi 110 diesel units. All four are compact, light, smooth and flexible, and have been optimised for the day-to-day conditions experienced by urban crossover owners. Manual versions use Renault’s Stop&Start fuel- and emissions-saving technology. A dual-clutch EDC gearbox is available with the TCe 120 and dCi 90 engines.
