Renault Scenic (09 on) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 23 July 2009 Last Updated: 02 November 2010 Renault claims to have invented the compact people carrier with the Scenic in 1996 and its third generation model remains among the best of its type. Launched in 2009 highlights include new engines including a frugal small turbocharged petrol engine and a powerful diesel, a roomier interior and sharper looks. While the used market might prefer the versatility offered by the Grand Scenic and it's seven-seat layout, the Scenic still offers plenty including comfortable access and extra practicality over a conventional hatchback. In June 2011 a new diesel engine was added to the line-up. Effectively replacing the 1.9-litre diesel 130, it offers the same power but with improved economy and emissions. In Februray 2012 the Scenic was updated with improved engines as well as minor design changes. 4 out of 5 Other Renault reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Gallery 4 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £18,335 - £22,825 View all new prices Used price range: £5,847 - £15,660 View all used prices See 4 new models for sale from £13,797 Get a Renault Scenic (09 on) information pack Next steps Renault Scenic cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
