The Renault Scénic and Grand Scénic get a makeover

Following the presentation of the Scénic XMOD, Renault also introduced the facelift of the normal Scénic and the Grand Scénic. The new design follows the one being used in most recent models, like the Clio. On the outside we have a bigger logo, a new grille and bumpers.

Changes are deeper than just a makeover. The dashboard now includes a new area for the navigation and multimedia system, called the R-Link. This system has an easy-to-reach joystick control plus a touchscreen display, that looking at the pictures seems really far from the driver.

Renault also introduced a new range of Energy engines, including the 1.2liter TCe 130 that promises a 15% reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

Find out more on March 5 at the Geneva Motor Show, with sales following shortly after.
