This is the second generation of the Scenic compact van, which once opened the niche of compact monocabs. The previous car invariably occupied the leading positions in the sales ratings in its class, and the current one seems to become even more popular: in the middle of 2006, less than three years after the start of production of the model, the millionth Scenic 2 rolled off the assembly line and, by the same in the summer, the car has undergone a slight restyling.
The restyled Scenic II did not undergo revolutionary changes in appearance, but acquired common features with other models of the modern Renault range. The front of the body is more streamlined, the headlights are more complex, the grille is V-shaped, and the bumpers are now completely painted in body color (previously there were wide gray moldings). The updated model of the car is produced in 5 and 7-seater (with the prefix "Grand" in the name) versions.
Diesels of the Russian buyer, as before, were cheated, and therefore the range of engines supplied to Russia for the Renault Grand Scenic car consists of only two units: a 1.6-liter 115-horsepower and a 2.0-liter with a capacity of 136 liters. with. The first is aggregated only with a five-speed manual transmission, the second - either with a six-speed "mechanics" or with a four-speed "automatic".
The seven-seater Renault Grand Scenic of the 2nd generation is good in everything: both outwardly attractive, and spacious, and equipped at a level, and safe. By the way, the brand itself has a good image in our market. That's just a bit too much: for the price of a 1.6-liter "Grand Scenic", you can buy a 1.8-liter "Zafira" in a good configuration. But this "Renault" is already in the basic configuration equipped with all conceivable, today, security systems. For a family car, this motive, perhaps, can be decisive.
Package prices:
Two engines - two trim levels: Expression for the 1.6-liter ($ 24,699), Privelege for the 2.0-liter ($ 30,699). To order the basic version of the Grand Scenic with a more powerful motor or vice versa - alas, it is impossible. But already in the base, the car is equipped with ABS with an electronic brake force distribution system, front and side airbags and inflatable curtains, an electric drive and heated mirrors, as well as electric windows.
