Jack takes a first look at the new Renault Scenic E-Tech. The biggest of Renault's four EV lineup, sitting above the Megane and upcoming 4 and 5, does this new Scenic boast the same level of innovation and clever design as its predecessors, or has it turned into just another crossover SUV?

"No rare earth metals used in either the battery or the motor, by the way... Have that Mr. Bean!" WELL SAID!

@xxwookey 8 месяцев назад

No-one's batteries have rare earths in them, except for one manufacturer 15 years ago that put some ytterbium in their LFP cells. So the battery part of that is a pointless claim (except of course that clueless articles claim they do and countering nonsense has become important). No rare earths in the motors presumably means they are using electromagnets throughout, not permanent magnets (as they almost all have neodymium in). I think that's a trend in motor design. PM motors are very good as you get rotor energised without using any energy nor brushes but they do have coasting losses. Being able to turn the rotor off fixes that. Complicated tradeoffs in which is most efficient overall. For powertools PM defo wins. For cars I think it depends on the details.

@hilalkarappan9951 8 месяцев назад

So, why would you remove the wheel cap thing and reduce the range in the first place?

@noncalamari 8 месяцев назад

Good question. Only thing I could think of was better cooling for the brakes. Not sure how much you'd need that on an EV with good regenerative braking.

There will be no need to remove it yourself as they will be quickly stolen, because someone else needs them? No, just because they can, its so easy and they will. And of course the car manufacturer is happy to sell you another for 50€ (plus taxes) a piece.

@nallemanstankarochfunderin5962 8 месяцев назад

I do agree with you. Renault really has found their roots and begun innovating again. Well, for the last couple of years since the Zoe entered the market. It was the one that convinced me that the future of transport is electric.

Love it, one of the best looking EVs out there for me and certainly the best from the established western manufacturers. The exterior is a good combo of modern and interesting but not too fussy and the interior looks practical and useable with decent tech. It looks really clean and fresh but also recognisably a car with familiar controls and layouts that are proven and work. (great review BTW :o)

It is. Depending on the tech used, some EV engine don't use rare earths. And it isn't new, the 10 year old Zoe already didn't use rare earths.

@pclarici 8 месяцев назад

I loved my old Scenic RX4, it was perfect as an all-rounder for my job in the countryside. I'm looking for an EV now, and hope that Renault will release a Scenic E-Tech with dual motors, increased ride height and possibly a rugged-ish exterior: at this point the only options seem to be the Solterra/bZ4x (too inefficient) and the future EX30 Cross Country (too small).

@thorsev6960 8 месяцев назад

bZ4X AWD was almost efficient as the Model Y RWD in the big Norwegian Sumer range test (141 Wh/km vs 131) so they are hardly inefficient. Smallish usable capacity yes, inefficient no.

@roycharles4119 8 месяцев назад

I like this review as we own a 2018 scenic and love it, so when we are ready to get our next car we might venture down the electric route and give this scenic a try. Nice design outside and in once again, space is thought out giving the car lots more compartments to store things in. I agree with the boot design, I feel it could of come out from being flat for a more rounded look which could assist with the overall aerodynamics & the aesthetics.

@france4me117 8 месяцев назад

Love it to bits ... WOW! Very good review as well and yes, it is certainly good looking and as I have had a Renault Scenic for a few years I must say, it a leap forward in design and practicality. The only thing you haven't demonstrated is the seating if they are fully flat when folded down and also it any configuration is also given to the practicality. After all, that is what made that Scenic

Great job Jack, all the relevant info whilst keeping it fun. I suggest adding battery chemistry to the mix and bringing up that LFP has no nickel or cobalt and lasts way longer than standard lithium ion even though it charges slower would really encourage uptake.

@medman36 8 месяцев назад

First impressions good. However, parts of the car do raise questions. . What is real world performance like? If the glass roof cracks, how difficult and exoensive is it to replace (thinking about falling branches and hail storms). The middle screen console is directed too much to the driver. Can it be swivled towards the passenger. With the large cockpit dislay, the middle infotainment screen looks oddly overkill. I just feel like ripping itboff the dashboard. Can the center infotainment screen be removed and the carbsokely operated in the cockpit screen only? Despite the clever explanation of the the car motor compnents on the front, does it have a front boot? Does it have airco? Does itbsupport any form of V2G, V2L or V2H? Does itbsupport autonomous safety features? Is the turning circle good? Etc.
