RENAULT. CRÉATEUR D’AUTOMOBILES
Innovate. The constant determination which has transcended every period of Renault's existence, guiding our options and governing the directions in which we have developed, is now helping to establish our reputation. At the dawn of this third millennium, our dedication to innovation is not just central to our own concerns but also to those of the individual motorist who is now entitled to expect not only that a vehicle will provide safety, performance and respect for the environment, but also intelligence.
Creation means bringing together intuition and expertise. At a time when performance and individualism were in fashion we were the first to break with established thinking by imagining an MPV. To launch the audacious elegance of the Vel Satis and the innovative but winning lines of the New Mégane, we again had to dare to be different. Innovation is born when an idea meets a need. We have a flair for picking up on your wishes and visualising your expectations and this has enabled us to design vehicles that are a natural extension of living space (Espace), to invent modularity (Scénic), the keyless car (Laguna) and the automatic parking brake (Vel Satis), exceeding your expectations at each stage.
It is by imagining what will be commonplace tomorrow that we have been able to realise the dream of the intelligent car, capable of helping drivers to hold their course and of assisting them to do what is essential to keep them and their passengers safe. As a result, following crash tests carried out by Euro NCAP (the independent European Consortium) the Laguna Hatchback, Mégane Hatch, Vel Satis, Espace, Scénic, Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet and most recently Modus, have each achieved the maximum 5-Star rating and are the safest cars in their category.

Every day, our engineers think up and develop new systems for continually reducing the risk of accidents, such as a new generation of programmed-restraint airbags or the Brake Assist system.
Competition - and Formula 1 in particular - is a valuable laboratory for innovation. It means we can design and develop the technological excellence that characterises our engines and gearboxes, so that you can experience the pleasure of driving dCi direct Commonrail injection diesel engines. We take all our environmental responsibilities very seriously - innovation today comes with a deep respect for the environment. Our engines are now much more unobtrusive and their emissions have been considerably reduced. All our vehicles are designed with recycling in mind and are on target to reach 95% recyclability. For further information on the End of Life Vehicle Directive and our progress against its targets please visit our web site, www.renault.co.uk.
While being responsible in terms of safety and the environment, we remain attentive to your service needs. From the extensive coverage of the Renault Network to the flexibility and speed of its assistance, by way of the personal finance packages, internet site or customer service, we are opening the lines of communication in order to guarantee you support at all times.
And so that driving and being on board become more enjoyable with every bend, we will continue to create free of any constraints, because it is by creating freely that we advance.

With Scénic and Grand Scénic you’re free to do exactly as you please. The interior adapts to the needs of the moment. The front passenger seat, for instance, converts into a table or writing desk. While the three individual folding rear seats are not only adjustable but recline to 35°; every passenger relaxes in made-to-measure comfort. Need even more passenger space? Grand Scénic offers you two extra seats that, when not needed, fold individually and easily into the floor, freeing up a big, completely flat load space. Need to carry an awkward load? No problem: simply fold or remove one, two or all three rear seats to make room for it. As for all the things that you need to take along – drinks, sunglasses, maps, books, games, cameras and the rest – Scénic and Grand Scénic are ingeniously designed to allow you to tuck the lot away but keep it close to hand. There are under-floor lockers, drawers beneath the seats, a huge sliding central storage area, which slides to make it accessible to everyone on board. And here’s a typically thoughtful touch – the cooled glove box to keep your drinks and fruit at the perfect temperature.

A seat that can be set to just the height you like. A steering wheel that adjusts to suit your reach precisely. Result: a driving position that puts you totally in command.

Scénic and Grand Scénic are supremely versatile – but high performance engines, matched to sweet-changing gearboxes, mean that
they’re truly enjoyable to drive as well.
You’re offered, to begin with, a range of superlative multivalve petrol engines – 1.4 16V 98*, 1.6 VVT 115 and 2.0 VVT 136. And, naturally, each delivers the instant response, ample torque at low engine speeds and smooth power delivery that are fundamental to enjoyable driving. The Commonrail turbodiesel engines – the dCi 86 Euro IV*, dCi 106 6 speed Euro IV and the 1.9 dCi 130 Euro IV – offer all the considerable benefits of the latest generation, high-precision Commonrail technology. And the low noise levels, miserly fuel consumption and clean-burning characteristics of the Commonrail 1.5 dCi 80 hp and 100 hp units define the current state of the art in diesel engines. And because they burn every drop of fuel so thoroughly and so efficiently, their emission and fuel consumption levels are both commendably low.
The engines in Scénic have clearly been developed to please the enthusiastic and knowledgeable motorist. And the same can most certainly be said of the new 6-speed manual gearbox now available with the 1.9 dCi 130 Euro IV, 2.0 VVT 136 and 2.0T VVT 165 engines. It is beautifully engineered, with ratios carefully chosen to capitalise upon the engines’ power and torque characteristics: acceleration is eager, power is delivered with wonderful fluidity, and yet fuel consumption is surprisingly modest. The satisfying precision with which this gearbox operates and the feeling of involvement and control which this creates play an important part in the sheer pleasure of driving Scénic.
If the incomparable ease of use of an automatic tempts you, you could do no better than specify the sequential shift Proactive gearbox. It uses advanced computer technology to ensure that the gearchange pattern matches your individual driving style and the kind of road on which you are driving. It’s equipped with a sequential shift mode and you can over-ride the automatic system at any time. With the Proactive automatic gearbox, you are completely in control – how many other automatics could claim as much?
