As recently confirmed by Renault’s local distributor, the Renault Scenic E-Tech new electric mid-size SUV will go on sale in December in Australia.

After a 15-year absence, the Scenic name will again be sold in Australia, this time priced from $55,990 plus on-road costs for the entry-level model. Two battery sizes with up to 625km of range (WLTP) will be offered in two model grades, both sitting above the smaller Megane E-Tech.

Two models will be offered in the Australian Scenic E-Tech line-up: the entry-level Techno and upper-spec Esprit Alpine. The Techno is available with both available battery sizes, with the Esprit Alpine only with the larger 87kWh unit.

The Scenic E-Tech Techno EV60 uses a 60kWh battery for a claimed 430km range (WLTP), which powers a 125kW/280Nm front-mounted electric motor. It launches to 100km/h in 8.6 seconds and can charge at up to 130kW – Renault is yet to announce charging timing.

Above that sits the Techno Long Range EV87 and Esprit Alpine EV87, which both use a larger 87kWh battery for a claimed 625km range (WLTP) and a more powerful 160kW/300Nm motor for a 0-100km/h time of 7.9 seconds. Its battery can be charged slightly faster at 150kW.

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