Renault’s Scenic E-Tech Electric 2027 arrived on Spanish streets this week, aimed at families seeking range and design. Its official WLTP range of 642 kilometers puts the model ahead of most mainstream rivals for long-haul capability.
The old minivan silhouette is gone. Renault’s latest Scenic has sharp lines and a confident stance. It breaks clearly with the brand’s people-mover past. The design team has shaped a car intended to feel at home in 2024 and appeal to buyers seeking utility with a little flair.
Buyers can choose between two setups. The Autonomía Confort pairs a 160 kW (220 CV) front-wheel-lead motor with a 67 kWh LFP battery, delivering 467 kilometers of WLTP range. Fast charging from 15% to 80% takes 24 minutes with the right charger. Spanish outlets report that this version will arrive later, while the Gran Autonomía, with its 89 kWh NMC battery, leads the launch. ABC Motor reports that Renault has integrated the Google Gemini voice assistant into the new Scenic’s openR link infotainment system, expanding voice-control and navigation features.
The Gran Autonomía retains the same 220 CV output but uses the larger 89 kWh NMC battery, bringing its range to 642 kilometers WLTP. Charging from 15% to 80% takes 28 minutes at up to 150 kW. Renault says the latest update cuts fast-charging time by about 25% compared with the outgoing Scenic, as El Periódico reported.
Both versions carry the DGT’s CERO label, which provides access to restricted city zones and regulatory perks. Renault offers the range in Techno and Esprit Alpine trims. Even the Techno includes 19-inch wheels, LED Adaptive Vision headlights, dual-zone climate control, an electric tailgate, a heat pump, a 12.3-inch digital cluster and a 12-inch openR link infotainment screen. Safety equipment includes adaptive cruise control, emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane keeping, a rear camera and parking sensors.
Prices start at 39,900 euros for the 67 kWh battery and rise to 45,085 euros for the Gran Autonomía. The Esprit Alpine adds 20-inch wheels, electric and heated front seats, driver massage, wireless charging and facial recognition. With the 89 kWh battery, it costs 47,685 euros. These are pre-incentive prices. Spanish sources clarify that the “from 30,660 euros” figure applies only to buyers who qualify for Renault’s discounts, financing, CAE certificates and the future Auto+ payout of 4,500 euros.
Renault’s launch comes as Spain’s family EV market heats up. The Scenic E-Tech Electric follows established brands’ efforts to rework best-sellers for the electric age. Spanish automotive media describe Renault’s simultaneous updates to the Scenic and Mégane E-Tech as a direct response to mounting pressure from Asian electric models. The updates bring more range and a lower effective entry price through subsidies and financing.
The Scenic’s long range, fast charging and well-equipped cabin arrive as expectations for family cars shift. The model also leaves the old minivan formula behind.
