About the Renault Scenic Mk3
The third-generation Renault Scenic, launched in 2009, refined the compact MPV formula that Renault pioneered in the 1990s. Built on the Megane III platform, it offered a more sophisticated interior and improved driving dynamics compared to its predecessors. The 2012 facelift introduced the 'Energy' 1.5 dCi engine, which utilised Stop & Start technology and brake energy recovery to achieve impressive fuel economy and low emissions. While it prioritises practicality and comfort over performance, its clever storage solutions and modular seating remain a benchmark for family-oriented design.
