Renault, a renowned automobile brand, is making its mark in Europe once again with the introduction of the Renault Scenic E-Tech, an upcoming electric vehicle (EV) model. The development of this exciting new addition to Renault’s lineup has been captured in these recently leaked spy shots, providing us with our first glimpse into its design.
Few details peer through the camouflage wrapping the Renault vehicle
To keep the Scenic E-Tech’s appearance under wraps, Renault’s engineering team has covered the exterior with a camouflage wrap, employing blocky panels to further obscure the vehicle’s body. However, certain details manage to shine through. The front of the Scenic E-Tech boasts a sleek nose with a tiny inlet positioned in the lower portion of its face, accompanied by slender headlights that gracefully frame the hood.
When viewed from the side, the Scenic E-Tech proudly displays its short overhangs at both ends, giving it a compact yet stylish profile. The C-pillar, with its distinctive angle, adds a touch of elegance to the rear, ensuring that it doesn’t appear too boxy. A subtle spoiler gracefully extends over the back window, enhancing its aerodynamic appeal.
Although the heavy camouflage conceals many details at the rear, the taillights manage to peek through, providing a glimpse of their design. Unfortunately, the interior of the Scenic E-Tech remains a mystery as the spy shots do not provide us with a clear view of the cabin.
Drawing inspiration from the 2022 Renault Scenic Vision concept, the Scenic E-Tech exhibits design elements reminiscent of its counterpart. The Scenic Vision concept showcased sharper creases and a crossover-like appearance, setting it apart from previous Scenic models that traditionally belonged to the MPV segment.
The Scenic Vision concept featured a 215-horsepower electric motor borrowed from the Megane E-Tech, coupled with a 40-kilowatt-hour battery. Additionally, it incorporated a 16-kW hydrogen fuel cell beneath the floor for charging the drive battery.
Renault had previously announced plans for a production version of the Scenic Vision concept, scheduled for release in 2024. This production model would utilize the CMF-EV platform, most likely eliminating the hydrogen range extender seen in the concept. All indications point to the vehicle captured in these new spy shots being the much-anticipated realization of the Scenic Vision concept – a car finally come to life.
