Detailed analysis of the Renault Scenic Life Energy TCe 85 kw (115 CV) · 116 CV (2016-2018)
General description
The 2017 Renault Scenic, in its Life Energy TCe 116 HP version, is presented as a family minivan that seeks to combine functionality with an attractive design. With its 1.2-liter, 116 HP gasoline engine, coupled with a 6-speed manual transmission, it promises a balanced driving experience for daily use and family trips. Its price of €19,121 positions it as an interesting option in the segment, offering a good balance between equipment and cost.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Scenic, the sensation is one of comfort and smoothness. The 116 HP engine, although not an excess of power, proves sufficient to move the vehicle with ease in most situations, especially in urban environments and secondary roads. On the highway, it maintains stable cruising speeds, although overtakes may require anticipation. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and torsion beam with trailing arm at the rear, effectively filters out road irregularities, contributing to a pleasant journey for all occupants. The electric power steering is precise and light, facilitating maneuvers in the city. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 12.3 seconds and a top speed of 185 km/h reflect its family-oriented and non-sporty nature. The combined consumption of 5.8 l/100km is reasonable for its segment and power.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2017 Renault Scenic breaks with the traditional aesthetic of minivans, adopting more dynamic and modern lines, inspired by SUVs. Its 5-door, 5-seater body offers an elegant and robust silhouette. Its large 20-inch wheels stand out, giving it an imposing and distinctive presence. The front and rear lights, with LED technology, add a touch of sophistication. Inside, the cabin is spacious and bright, with good quality materials and finishes. The arrangement of the elements is intuitive, and the central infotainment system screen dominates the dashboard, offering a pleasant technological experience. Modularity is one of its great assets, with rear seats that can be folded down to expand the 506-liter trunk, ideal for family needs.
Technology and features
The 2017 Renault Scenic incorporates technology designed to improve comfort and safety. The 1.2 TCe direct injection, turbo, and intercooler engine, along with the Stop&Start system, optimizes consumption and emissions. Inside, the R-Link 2 infotainment system, with its touch screen, offers connectivity and access to various vehicle functions. Although details of driving assistants are not specified in this Life version, Renault usually equips its models with systems such as cruise control, speed limiter, and parking sensors. Electric power steering and ventilated disc brakes front and rear ensure safe and controlled driving. The compact dimensions for a minivan (4406 mm long, 1866 mm wide, and 1653 mm high) facilitate maneuverability in urban environments.
Competition
In the competitive compact minivan segment, the Renault Scenic faces rivals such as the Citroën C4 Picasso (now C4 SpaceTourer), the Volkswagen Touran, the Ford C-Max, and the Opel Zafira. Each of them offers its own virtues in terms of space, modularity, equipment, and engines. The Scenic stands out for its bolder design and its focus on comfort and technology, seeking to attract those who want a family vehicle with a touch of style and modernity.
Conclusion
The 2017 Renault Scenic Life Energy TCe 116 HP is a solid proposition for families looking for a versatile, comfortable minivan with a distinctive design. Its gasoline engine offers adequate performance for daily use, and its spacious interior and modularity make it an ideal companion for trips and family activities. Although it is not the most powerful in its category, its overall balance, attractive design, and competitive price position it as a very interesting option in the minivan market.
