The electric Renault Scenic will arrive on 4 September, returning as a sustainability-focused family EV
The Vision’s hydrogen fuel cell powertrain is unlikely to make production, at least from launch, given the limited infrastructure for the fuel across Europe.
The production Scénic will instead feature a more conventional battery-electric powertrain, which is expected to share key components with the Mégane E-Tech. That model – also based on the CMF-EV platform – receives a 215bhp, 221lb ft single electric motor that drives the front wheels, plus a 60kWh battery that gives a 280-mile range.
What will carry over from the Scénic Vision, however, is the focus on sustainability. The concept was made from 70% recycled materials, of which 95% could be recycled again. Its floor and seats, for example, were made from 100%-recyclable and undyed plastics, while the headlining was made from particulates captured from polluted urban air.
“The car is nearly 100% recyclable, but we want to dig even further,” Vidal said about the concept. “Everyone can add sustainability, but we have added it visibly through the floor, seats and bodywork.”
