Renault’s Citroen C4 Picasso rival has been seen in disguise, ahead of late 2016 reveal
Renault is making up for the UK not getting the new Espace by preparing a sexier new Scenic MPV, and we’ve spotted it out on the road for the first time. It’ll be revealed at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show and go on sale later next year.
Earlier this month, Auto Express exclusively revealed details on the upcoming Scenic and Grand Scenic, which the firm told us will “make parents fall in love again”.
These first spy shots show that the new car will have a similar design language to the Kadjar crossover and new Megane. Like the latest raft of Renault models, there's a large shapely grill which dominates the front of the car, featuring the now-familiar oversized Renault diamond badge.
The side profile is less SUV-like than the not-for-UK Espace, but butcher than the bulbous current model. The rear of the car appears to be a combination of the Kadjar’s wraparound rear screen, with a large boot opening. We expect the Grand Scenic however to be more Espace-like in design, with an upright profile allowing for seven useable seats.
The engine range will be borrowed straight from the Megane it shares its platform with, which means four (and possibly even three) cylinder petrol and diesel engines. Both the Scenic and Grand Scenic will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor show in March next year. At launch, prices are expected to be similar to those of the current model, starting from around £19,500.
