With Scenic, Renault created the compact MPV, revolutionizing the industry again with another new category of vehicle. This concept car was a technological showcase, a design study aimed at producing a 21st-century family vehicle embodying Renault's idea of the "car for life and living". The "invitation to travel" theme was thoroughly developed in this cocoon-like vehicle, through form, colour and trim, but also through its functional innovations and safety features.

Features:

• Revolutionary exterior architecture: the first compact MPV.
• Absence of centre pillar means the two right-side doors form a single opening, sliding towards each other to offer easy access to the cabin, delivering new levels of space, warmth and comfort.
• Single sliding door on driver's side, which gives Scenic previously unattained stiffness and strength, particularly in the event of lateral impact.
• Double floor housing chassis and two stowage holds plus luggage stowage area, accessible via opening both inside and outside the car.
• Optimized use of recyclable materials.
• Seat-mounted safety belts, two child safety restraints, driver airbag and drowsiness detector for unbeatable safety performance.
• Automatic door locking and micro-cameras for rear-view vision.
• ABS coupled to automatic transmission and automatic tyre pressure monitoring.
• Power steering, four-wheel drive and automatic load levelling system at the rear for a safe, easy and comfortable drive every time.
• 150bhp 2.0-litre multivalve engine.
• Automatic transmission controlled by keyboard replacing conventional gear lever.
