Renault Grand Scenic (2016 – 2020) Review

Renault Grand Scenic (2016 – 2020) At A Glance

4/5
Honest John Overall Rating
Buy a Grand Scenic in 2020 and you’ll enjoy a degree of exclusivity and styling that will turn more heads than the majority of seven-seat SUVs. Just because not enough people bought one, doesn’t mean you should ignore the Grand Scenic.

+Classy cabin with a range of family-friendly features, avant-garde styling helps the car to stand out in a crowded market, all versions boast a comprehensive list of equipment.

-Not a proper seven-seater – more a ‘5+2’ MPV, large alloys look the part but upset ride quality, infotainment system flatters to deceive.

Insurance Groups are between 11–24
On average it achieves 74% of the official MPG figure

Launched in 2016, the Renault Grand Scenic fuses the practicality of a seven-seat MPV with the styling of a modern SUV. Although it can’t match the flexibility of the SEAT Alhambra or Ford Galaxy, the Grand Scenic offers seating for five, two occasional seats in the rear, plus a comprehensive list of standard equipment. Subjectively, it’s one of the best looking cars in its class, with an upmarket and classy cabin to match. You even get a set of 20-inch alloy wheels as standard. Slow sales resulted in the car being axed from the UK in 2020, but the Grand Scenic is a superb used buy.

Renault has a habit of building excellent MPVs. The original Espace pioneered the concept of a seven-seat MPV in Europe, while the Megane Scenic did a similar thing in a smaller, five-seat package. It’s a shame that Renault lost its way.

Faced with the prospect of ‘death by SUV’, Renault reinvented the Grand Scenic in 2016, giving the car an eye-catching look and standard-fit 20-inch alloy wheels. Subjectively, the Grand Scenic is one of the best looking family cars on sale in 2020.

Not that it will be on sale for long. Renault axed the Grand Scenic from its UK range in the summer of 2020, although it’s still available in other European markets. If you’re after a ‘many-seat’ Renault, you’ll need to buy a Trafic Passenger.

The Grand Scenic isn’t a seven-seater in the style of the SEAT Alhambra or Volkswagen Sharan. Instead, it’s more of a rival to the SEAT Tarraco or Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace, in the respect that it offers seating for five with the potential to carry two additional passengers when the need arises. Even then, the third row is best reserved for children or occasional use.

It feels like an upmarket vehicle, with the bold styling matched by a premium cabin and a comprehensive list of standard equipment. Even the entry-level Play trim offers the kind of kit that would be mid-range in some rivals, while the flagship Signature model edges the Grand Scenic into premium car territory.

Although the Grand Scenic launched in 2016 with a wide range of engines, later cars were available with a choice of two. Neither could be described as quick, but the 1.8-litre Blue dCi 120 diesel edges the 1.3-litre TCe 130 petrol thanks to its torque. You’ll welcome the extra shove when you’re travelling with a full quota of passengers and a roof box filled with overspill luggage.

You’ll need the roof box in seven-seat mode. Although the boot is cavernous when the rearmost seats aren’t in use, the boot is tiny when they are. This is true of many seven-seat MPVs and SUVs, but we’d still describe the Grand Scenic as a ‘5+2’ MPV.

Although there are a few neat touches, such as the sliding centre console, the Grand Scenic lacks the flexibility of some rival MPVs. The glovebox is too small, the door pockets are too narrow, and the second row of seats split 60/40 rather than individually.

Adopt a smooth and relaxed driving style and the Grand Scenic is a terrific cross-continental companion. It’s not as comfortable as French MPVs of old, and it lacks the precision of a Ford S-MAX but Grand Scenic owners will enjoy the commanding driving position, the comfortable seats and the array of tech at their disposal.

Renault Grand Scenic (2016 – 2020) handling and engines

Driving Rating
The 20-inch alloy wheels look superb, but they come at a price. Ride quality suffers, with the Grand Scenic feeling unsettled over rough surfaces and firmer than other French MPVs.

Renault Grand Scenic (2016 – 2020): Handling and ride quality

That said, it’s not as bad as it could be, so credit must go to Renault for making the Grand Scenic feel composed without the use of air suspension.

It’s not a particularly fun car to drive. The body rolls if you attempt to take a corner too fast and there’s a general feeling of being detached from the road. The design of the bonnet makes it tricky to position the car on the road, while poor rearward visibility makes it a difficult car to park.

A case of the Grand Scenic flattering to deceive, then? Perhaps, but we rather like the mature and grown-up driving experience. The high driving position gives you a commanding view of the road ahead.

Renault Grand Scenic (2016 – 2020): Engines

The Grand Scenic launched with a range of five diesel and two petrol engines, but Renault had the sense to reduce this to a choice of two engines.

Of the two, we’d favour the 1.8-litre turbocharged Blue dCi 120 diesel if you spend a lot of time on the motorway or with a car full of children and luggage. With 120PS on tap, it’s no powerhouse, but the 300Nm of torque is extremely useful.

Not that you should rule out the 1.3-litre turbocharged TCe 140 petrol. It does a decent job of propelling the Grand Scenic along at a fair rate and is ideal for the school run and local trips.

The automatic transmission puts in a dent in the fuel economy but seems to suit the relaxed nature of the Grand Scenic. The six-speed manual gearbox feels out of place in a seven-seat MPV.

Renault Grand Scenic (2016 – 2020): Safety

The Grand Scenic hasn’t been crash-tested by Euro NCAP, but it shares much in common with the smaller Renault Scenic. This car was awarded a five-star safety rating in 2016, with scores of 90 percent for adult occupant protection and 82 percent for child occupant protection.

All models feature multiple airbags, automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers, cruise control, rear parking sensors, tyre inflation kit and Renault’s Visio System. This features lane departure warning, traffic sign recognition and automatic high and low beam. Iconic and Signature models come with front and rear parking sensors.

The Signature trim also gets a rear-view camera, plus the option of LED headlights, blind spot monitoring and a Safety Pack Premium.

 

Renault Grand Scenic (2016 – 2020): Towing

The Renault Grand Scenic has a maximum unbraked towing weight of 1800kg and a braked towing capacity of 750kg. Retractable and swan neck tow bars are available from your nearest Renault dealer.

Renault Grand Scenic (2016 – 2020): Practicality

Although you can slide the middle row forward to create more legroom in the very back, the third row is best reserved for children. It’s also difficult to get into the third row.

Elsewhere, the Renault Grand Scenic is a more convincing package. The boot offers 596 litres of luggage capacity in five-seat mode, up from 296 litres with all seven seats in use, with loading aided by a low lip. The second row bench splits 60/40, so you don’t get three individual seats like you do in some rivals.

You’ll like the sliding centre console, which features an armrest, storage bin, two USB ports and a 12-volt socket. It’s just a shame it obscures the front cupholders when it’s in the forward position.

Renault Grand Scenic (2016 – 2020): Quality and finish

Longevity and robustness are arguably more important than soft-touch plastics and plush materials in an MPV. Renault has covered all the bases, with a high level of perceived quality and a general feeling that the cabin is built to last.

All models get a leather-trimmed steering wheel and a satin chrome gear knob, while full leather and electric adjustment for the front seats are optional. In common with other cars in the class, some of the plastics in the lower part of the cabin feel a little cheap, but you’re unlikely to notice.

Renault Grand Scenic (2016 – 2020): Infotainment

Play and Iconic models feature a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system with DAB digital radio, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. First impressions are great, but it’s not the easiest system to use and some of the menus are slow to load.

There are similar gripes with the 8.7-inch portrait touchscreen infotainment system on the Signature model, but the 3D mapping and head-up display are welcome touches. Iconic and Signature models also get a premium audio system with six speakers, an extra USB port in the front and two USB ports in the back. This should stop the squabbling on long journeys.

Renault Grand Scenic (2016 – 2020) value for money

Value for Money Rating
For such a large car, the Renault Grand Scenic is remarkably economical.

Renault Grand Scenic (2016 – 2020): Prices

Although the Grand Scenic was axed from the UK Renault range in the summer of 2020, it’s still – at the time of writing – possible to buy new and pre-registered cars at a Renault dealer. Because the car has been discontinued, it should be possible to negotiate a better deal. Just don’t expect to be able to order any factory options – you’ll have to take what’s left in stock.

Buying a Grand Scenic registered from 18 December 2019 makes sense, because this is when Renault introduced a five-year/100,000-mile warranty across the range. This means a 2020 model will be covered until 2025.

A new and unregistered Renault Grand Scenic will cost between £25,000 and £30,000, depending on the spec, but you’ll save thousands of pounds by opting for a nearly-new or pre-registered example.

An early 2016 Grand Scenic should cost around £13,000, possibly less if you’re prepared to put up with 100,000 miles on the clock and a few battle scars. 

Buying a nearly-new Grand Scenic on a four-year PCP deal should cost up to £250 a month after a £1,000 deposit. You could save around £50 a month by financing a 2016/2017 example, but spending the extra money on a newer car backed by Renault’s five-year warranty could be worth the expense.

Speaking of warranties, Grand Scenic models registered up to and including 31 January 2018 are covered by a four-year/100,000-mile warranty.

Models registered from 1 February 2018 until 17 December 2019 are covered for three years and 60,000 miles. Check the vehicle documents or ask your nearest Renault dealer if you’re unsure about the cover on a Grand Scenic you’re thinking of buying.

Renault Grand Scenic (2016 – 2020): Running Costs

The Blue dCi 120 diesel offers the best fuel efficiency, with a claimed 50.4mpg to 51.4mpg on a combined cycle. These figures drop to 46.3mpg to 47.1mpg in the automatic version.

There’s a similar penalty if you opt for the automatic version of the Play TCe 140 petrol engine. You should expect to achieve around 40.9mpg with a manual gearbox, or 39.2mpg to 39.8mpg with an automatic transmission.

Insurance shouldn’t break the bank, with the Grand Scenic slotting into groups 14 to 17. A Blue dCi 120 Play or Blue dCi 120 Iconic should be the cheapest to insure, but you’ll pay a little more for the TCe 140 Signature.

Because first-year Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) is only relevant to new cars, you’ll pay £150 a year in tax. A few models registered prior to April 2017 will cost between £165 and £205 a year, depending on the engine.

Renault Grand Scenic (2016 – 2020) models and specs

If you’re after a spacious, good looking and well-equipped five-seater, with the potential to carry seven, the Renault Grand Scenic is a credible alternative to the raft of SUVs on sale today. You’ll even enjoy a little exclusivity.

Normally we’d recommend a mid-range model as the range sweet-spot, but in the case of the Grand Scenic we’d opt for the Signature trim. The extra equipment more than justifies the expense and the car will be easier to live with over the course of a PCP deal.

Model History

May 2016

New Grand Scenic unveiled

A One Touch Folding Seat function allows the rear seats to be folded automatically to obtain a flat floor and facilitate loading. Meanwhile, the new Grand Scénic is 24cm longer than the new Scénic and consequently boasts extra boot space and carrying capacity compared with its sibling - 765 litres in total.

The new Grand Scénic comes with a comprehensive suite of driver aids too, including Active Emergency Braking (AEBS) with Pedestrian Detection as standard equipment for the first time in the segment. The list continues with technologies from the next segment up, such as Multisense experience, a R-Link 2 multimedia tablet complete with a large 8.7-inch display and a full-colour head-up display. Last but by no means least, the fourth generation of the model can be specified with Renault’s Hybrid Assist electrified diesel engine.

The final UK model-line up, version specifications and pricing will be communicated nearer to the on sale date later in 2016.

Probably the most groundbreaking feature of the new Scénic’s design is the fitment of 20-inch wheels as standard across the range. These narrower wheels (195mm) are both a technological and styling innovation. With a sidewall height of 107mm – equivalent to that of the Scénic 17-inch tyres – the new Scénic’s tyres ensure a level of ride comfort that is amongst the market’s very best.

The Easy Life sliding centre console between the front seats enables drivers to customise the cabin layout. When the centre console is in the forward position, it tucks beneath the large portrait-format display to form a single unit. With the console in its rearmost position, the new Grand Scénic boasts a more ‘open plan’ arrangement that can be shared between the driver and the car’s other occupants.

Higher-end versions feature a Club Brown interior trim (upper part of the dashboard, front door trim) for a warm, refined ambience.

The new Grand Scénic can be specified with either five or seven seats, with all passengers benefiting from the same careful attention to travelling comfort that has forged the Scénic’s reputation over the years. The occupant-friendly modular cabin features a long list ingenious solutions and equipment.

With a total additional stowage capacity of 63 litres, the new Grand Scénic stands out as the class leader in the long compact MPV segment. In addition to the Easy Life sliding centre console, the new Scénic boasts several other ingenious stowage solutions for an additional capacity of 38.5 litres. This is achieved notably by retaining the four underfloor compartments that have always been particularly appreciated by families.

In the back, the new Grand Scénic is equipped with Easy Life folding tables (standard or optional, depending on market) which are ideal for family use on longer journeys. In the deployed position, it is possible to attach electronic tablets of different sizes. When folded, there is a small storage area that can accommodate a mobile phone, a gaming console or perhaps crayons. The two USB ports at the rear of the sliding centre console mean electronic devices can be used without time restraints.

The new Grand Scénic is available with a choice of five diesel powerplants – including an electrified Hybrid Assist engine – and two petrol engines (depending on market). Hybrid Assist, which comprises an electric generator and a 48-volt battery, recovers deceleration energy, thereby allowing the electric motor to assist the internal combustion engine. The benefit is more responsive performance and a lower fuel consumption.

DIESEL ENGINES PETROL ENGINES
Energy dCi 110, manual six-speed gearbox Energy TCe 115, six-speed manual gearbox
dCi 110 Hybrid Assist, manual six-speed gearbox Energy TCe 130, six-speed manual gearbox
Energy dCi 110 EDC, seven-speed dual-clutch EDC transmission
Energy dCi 130, six-speed manual gearbox
Energy dCi 160 EDC, six-speed dual-clutch EDC transmission

The retractable full-colour head-up display enhances driving comfort and safety by making the driving aids (ADAS) more legible and easier to use. Without the driver needing to take his or her eyes off the road, the screen displays all relevant information (current speed, navigation instructions, driving aids) to ensure a relaxed driving experience.

July 2017

Hybrid Assist version of Grand Scenic launched

Offering CO2 of 94g/km and NEDC 80.7mpg, from £25,055.

Has Active Emergency Braking System (AEBS) with Pedestrian Detection as standard, 20-inch alloy wheels with 55 profile tyres and an 8.7-inch portrait touchscreen. dCi 110 HYBRID ASSIST engine features a 10kW electric motor located under the bonnet that works in combination with the internal combustion engine. The motor is powered by a 48-volt 150Wh battery located behind the second row seats for All-New Scénic or in the spare wheel housing for All-New Grand Scénic.

Alongside the economical benefits, it also improves pick-up at low speeds providing a boost of acceleration, particularly at low revs (even around 1,000rpm) regardless of the gear – the technology provides up to 70Nm additional torque in certain situations. During deceleration, the Motor Generation Unit (MGU) recovers energy for use by the vehicle’s electrical system and for storing in the system’s independent battery. It also works in association with the diesel engine when the driver re-accelerates – an indicator on the dash lets the driver know when the engine is deploying or recovering power.

The technology dispenses with the need for a high-voltage battery thanks to the electric motor. The dCi 110 HYBRID ASSIST versions are priced only £1,000 more than the equivalent dCi 110 variants in the Scénic range, and benefit from £130 annual VED rather than £140 due to its classification as an “alternatively fuelled” vehicle.

The Scénic and Grand Scénic dCi 110 HYBRID ASSIST range is available in three trim levels – Dynamique Nav, Dynamique S Nav and Signature Nav. Each version provides a comprehensive standard specification, rising to the truly luxurious at the top-of-the-range.

December 2017

New 1.3 TCe 115 and 140 petrol engines announced

The new Energy TCe engine replaced the 1.2TCe and progressively reaches other Renault models from 2018. Pricing for the new engine in the Scénic line-up starts from £22,005 on-the-road.

This new engine offers a significant improvement in driving pleasure, with increased torque at low revs and greater and constant availability at high revs, while reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

The Energy TCe 140 engine has a CO2 output of 122g/km (125g/km for Grand Scénic) and achieves 52.3mpg (NEDC combined cycle) (51.4mpg for Grand Scénic). The TCe 140 engine receives 240Nm of torque at 1,600 rpm.

Meanwhile, the Energy TCe 115 – available in manual transmission only – has 220Nm of torque at 1,500 rpm with CO2 emissions of 122g/km (125g/km for Grand Scénic) and achieves 52.3mpg (NEDC combined) (50.4mpg for Grand Scénic). These figures result in a reduction in CO2 by 7 grams on Scénic and 11 grams on Grand Scénic compared to the previous petrol units.
