The Renault Scenic E-Tech will launch in Australia before the end of 2025, Renault’s local distributor has confirmed. Not sold locally since 2010 in Grand Scenic seven-seater MPV form, the Scenic is now an electric mid-size SUV and will offer two battery sizes with up to 625km of driving range (WLTP). In E-Tech form, the Scenic was revealed in 2023 and is finally launching locally.

In Europe, two battery sizes are offered: a standard range model with a 60kWh battery and a long range model with a larger 87kW battery. Renault claims a WLTP range of 430km for the standard range model and 625km for the long range. The standard range can charge at up to 130kW and the long range slightly faster at 150kW.

The Renault Scenic E-Tech standard range uses a 125kW/280Nm electric motor, with the long range upgrading to a more powerful 160kW/300Nm motor with the standard hitting 100km/h in 8.6 seconds and the long range reducing that to 7.9 seconds. Renault is yet to announce the Australian line-up. 

The Scenic E-Tech measures 4470mm long, 1864mm wide, 1565mm tall and rides on a 2785mm long wheelbase, making it slightly shorter overall than a Volkswagen Tiguan. Its bootspace measures between 545 litres and 1670 litres, which is 20L larger than a Tiguan with its rear seats folded. 

“Earlier this year we announced Renault Australia would introduce six new or updated models over the next 18 months,” said Glen Sealey, the General Manager of Renault Australia.

“The Renault Scenic E-Tech is just the start of our revitalisation program and we are delighted to be able to introduce this award-winning car in Australia.”
