The Renault Scenic E-Tech spotted this prototype, charging, near Rouen, likely on a drive from the Aubevoye circuit where Renault tests its new models. What intrigued us? Its bodywork, partially camouflaged, which certainly conceals some changes to the design, particularly the headlights. But the most important thing is undoubtedly elsewhere, under the hood.
Renault is preparing to refresh its fifth-generation Scenic E-Tech with significant battery and design changes, following its successful “Renaulution” strategy that included the launch of the Renault 5, 4, and Twingo models.
Renault presents a comprehensive redesign of the Scenic electric vehicle with updates to design, technology, and propulsion, following the modernization strategy initiated with the Megane.
