New Grand Scénic (length: 4.56 metres) is available in five- and seven-seat form. Its proportions and extensive glazed area suggest similarly generous cabin space and the promise of a well-appointed interior. Its boomerang-shaped rear lights produce a lighting signature unique to New Grand Scénic and an industry first for a production model. The lines of these clusters extend forward across the vehicle's flanks via the waistline to convey an unmistakable sense of dynamism when the car is seen from the side. This impression is further emphasized by the sloping roofline and raked rear screen.

In addition to being a hallmark of the different models that make up the New Mégane family, these robust, dynamic lines are an eloquent sign of the range's outstanding roadholding ability.

CABIN SPACE
New Renault Scénic and New Renault Grand Scénic have been thought through carefully to ensure the highest possible standard of travelling comfort for all occupants. The driver and front passenger benefit from a wide field of vision thanks to wider spacing of the windscreen pillars which ensures enhanced visibility at roundabouts and junctions. The lateral field of vision has been extended by more than eight per cent and the vertical field of vision has been improved by more than 15 per cent.

The longer wheelbase has led to improved comfort for second row occupants who will appreciate the best-in-class kneeroom of 235mm and 275mm provided by Scénic and Grand Scénic respectively. Occupants of the third row seats benefit from headroom of 842mm and kneeroom of 102mm. Indeed, Grand Scénic stands out as the roomiest compact seven-seat MPV on the market.

THE dCi AND TCe ENGINE RANGES: SPRIGHTLY PERFORMANCE AND RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

New Renault Grand Scénic are available with a significantly renewed range of petrol and diesel engines which combine performance and respect for the environment.

Petrol engines
A choice of six petrol powertrains (depending on market):

• the 1.6 engine is available in a choice of three versions: the 16V 110hp, a bioethanol version (from the summer of 2009) and an LPG version (available from the end of 2009, depending on market),
• the new TCe 130 engine (TCe = Turbo Control efficiency),
• the 2.0 16V 140hp engine mated to either CVT (continuously variable transmission) or a sixspeed manual gearbox.
• The new TCe 130 engine, which will be available for New Renault Scénic and New Renault Grand Scénic this spring, is an eloquent showcase of the expertise Renault has acquired in the technique of downsizing. It is particularly fuel efficient and also respectful of the environment thanks to combined cycle fuel consumption of 7.1 litres/100km, equivalent to CO2 emissions of less than 168g/km (New Scénic). This engine figures among the best in its class in terms of running and maintenance costs. Its timing chain comes with a lifetime warranty and oil change intervals are every 30,000km (or every two years).
