Range
The Renault Scenic E-Tech gets two batteries to choose from, offering 60- or 87kWh usable capacities (65- or 91kWh total capacities) with a maximum WLTP combined range of 260- to 379 miles respectively.
That's impressive range, especially given that the big battery Scenic E-Tech Long Range starts at under £41,000, which is great value for such a long range. Only the Kia EV3 will do the same range for usefully less, and while it’s a smaller car it’s still surprisingly roomy, so do check that out if your priority is long range at a great price.
We spent a few months living with the Scenic Long Range, and saw 3.4 miles per kWh in warmer temperatures and on a mixture of roads - which is good for a real world range of 295 miles. Not bad, especially given that many of our journeys were on faster roads, although still a way off the claimed range figures. You’ll see it go a bit further if you spend a lot of time on slower roads or driving around town but it isn't the most efficient model in its class.
Battery
There are two lithium-ion NMC batteries to choose from, offering 60- or 87kWh usable capacities (65- or 91kWh total capacities). You can check out the pros and cons of lithium-ion batteries in our guide, here.
Charging
Charging speeds are good on the Scenic, with a peak 150kW charging rate (130kW on the smaller battery car) being on a par with or better than many rivals, although the Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 will charge at over 200kW. When plugged into a powerful enough rapid charger, the Scenic can suck up enough electricity for a 20-80% charge in around 25- to 30-minutes. A 7kW home charger will manage a full charge from nearly empty in some 14 hours.
