Theres little doubt that in this most family-oriented of market sectors, safety sells. Renault hasnt been slow to recognise this fact and the latest Scenic model has replicated the five-star Euro NCP test result of its sibling, the Megane. To equal the result of the Megane hatch while taking account of differences in its weight and layout, the structure of the Scenic was strengthened in a number of strategic areas. Its this depth of engineering that can make all the difference in the event of a genuine accident and until fairly recently, this sort of development was too costly for manufacturers to perform. Renault have invested over 100 million Euros into improving safety and yet the Scenic 1.6 that sits pristinely uncrumpled before us starts at just 15,715. This includes front, side and curtain airbags and all seats are fitted with five-point seat belts. The 115bhp 1.6-litre engine is probably the smoothest in the petrol line up, slotting between the 100bhp 1.4-litre unit and the 136bhp 2.0-litre powerplant. Four trim levels are offered, starting with the Authentique and progressing through Dynamique and Expression up to the range-topping 17,215 Privilege; hardly big money for such a multitalented performer. Even if you never have cause to utilise the airbags, the Scenic 1.6 is a car that instils a feel good aura of money well spent. With a three-year warranty and 18,000-mile service intervals, its off to a good start. Factor in 39.2mpg average fuel economy and a modest Group 6 insurance rating and the Scenic 1.6 hammers home the advantage. The final clincher is a residual value thats a good deal more German than French. The Scenic rides on Megane running gear, offering five seats. A long wheelbase seven-seat Grand Scenic is available for a 1,000 premium but most will settle for the regular model, offering as it does a usefully larger cabin than its predecessor. The wheelbase is up 105mm and the overall length stretches 125mm. Its a hefty 127mm wider and even stands a good deal taller. Height-wise its within a centimetre of the first generation Espace, but its a significant degree longer and wider and the cabin is massively more space efficient. How times change. The interior feels roomy enough, the clean lines and low dashboard adding to the airy feel. Legroom is especially generous in the back, especially when the rear seats have slid into their rearmost position. The central seating position in the back can be removed and the remaining two seats repositioned to allow more elbowroom but its not quite as slick as Fords diagonally sliding system. Ride quality is possibly the best in class with the Scenic making short work of rutted A-roads and poorly surfaced motorways. |
