2023 Munich Motor Show - Inovev forecasts 50,000 units in 2027 and 70,000 in 2030 of the new Renault Scénic E-Tech
- Renault is gradually completing its battery electric range called E-Tech. After the Mégane E-Tech launched last year and the R5 E-Tech to be launched next year, here is the Scénic E-Tech presented at the 2023 Munich Motor Show which will be marketed in 2024.
- It is a C-segment SUV derived from the Mégane E-Tech (it is therefore no longer a minivan like the Scénics marketed from 1996 to 2023). It will therefore take over the CMF-EV platform dedicated to the Renault group's battery electric compact cars, as well as the electric motor and battery (with higher capacities version) of the Mégane E-Tech. The Mégane E-Tech Electric engine is available in two power ratings: 96 kW (130 hp) and 160 kW (218 hp). The battery has a capacity of 40 kWh (300 km range) or 60 kWh (450 km range). It may also have a bigger battery capacity (more than 85 kWh) in a top range version. The dimensions of the model are not yet known, but we can recall here the technical characteristics of the Mégane E-Tech that will be found on the Scénic E-Tech.
- Like the Megane E-Tech, the Scénic E-Tech will be produced on the French site of Douai (Hauts de France). Compared to the Mégane E-Tech, it will be a bit like the ID4 is to the ID3 at Volkswagen.
- This battery electric Renault Scénic will have to try to boost sales of a model which has seen its influence decline at high speed over the past twenty years, going from 350,000 units in 2005 to 150,000 in 2008, 100,000 in 2015 and 6,000 in 2022. Inovev expects production to be 50,000 units in 2027 and 70,000 in 2030. In 2022, Renault produced 46,722 units of its Mégane E-Tech in Douai, which roughly corresponds to the carmaker's objectives.
