FactSome Scénic IIs built between 2003 and 2006 could lose their entire dashboard at once — a soldering defect let the all-electronic instrument cluster overheat and go completely blank.
The second-generation Renault Scénic was launched in June 2003, shortly after the Mégane II, on the Renault–Nissan C platform (designer Vincent Pedretti, exterior), with a seven-seater Compact MPV version, the Grand Scénic, officially launched in April 2004 with a longer wheelbase and rear overhang and two small child-sized seats in the enlarged luggage area. It uses corporate styling cues and new technology including the "Renault Card" keyless immobiliser and, on some trims, an automatic parking brake, has LEDs on all trims since 2006 and a fully digital electroluminescence instrument display, and the rear seats fold, are separately adjustable and removable. A minor facelift (phase 2) with a revised grille, larger diamond badge and restyled lights went on sale in September 2006; in June 2007 the Scénic Conquest, a two-wheel-drive body-kitted, raised spiritual successor to the RX4, was revealed. The page dates the dashboard-blanking recall to Scénic II cars built between 2003 and 2006. Wheelbase 105.7 in (Grand Scénic 107.7 in), length 167.7 in (176.9 in), height 63.8 in (64.6 in) and width 71.3 in for both; only the shared width is entered because the trims cover both bodies.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

The Scénic Vision concept behind it had a floor made from recycled milk bottles and pipes, and a hydrogen fuel cell as range extender.
This Scénic earned a 5-star Euro NCAP rating partly because of a safety feature no other compact MPV offered as standard: emergency braking with pedestrian detection.
This Scénic generation spun off a rugged crossover sibling, the Scénic Xmod, with roof rails and body cladding years before 'crossover MPV' was a trend.
Some Scénic IIs built between 2003 and 2006 could lose their entire dashboard at once — a soldering defect let the all-electronic instrument cluster overheat and go completely blank.
Moving the Scénic RX4's spare wheel onto the tailgate meant building that tailgate out of plastic to save weight — and it was prone to cracking under the spare's own weight as it aged.
Renault badly misjudged how popular the first Scénic would be: it planned for a niche model built at just 450 a day, but demand pushed the Douai factory to nearly 2,500 a day.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
The Touran quietly introduced a first for Volkswagen: electro-mechanical power steering, a segment first that varied steering weight with road speed and saved fuel by drawing no power at idle.
Romania's own president bought the first B-Max off the Craiova line, on 25 June 2012, before anyone else could.
Opel's first Zafira OPC put a 192 PS turbo four into a seven-seat minivan in 2001.
Opel's in-house tuning division built this Zafira a 240-hp turbocharged heart — turning a seven-seat family minivan into one of the quickest people-movers of its era.
Porsche co-developed this Zafira's clever fold-into-the-floor seven-seat system, marketed as Flex 7.
Vauxhall killed the Zafira Tourer in Britain because buyers had moved on to SUVs.
A fire in one Zafira wrecked up to 300 cars in a single Stavanger Airport parking garage in January 2020.
This Touran generation had a firm end date: Wolfsburg stopped production in April 2026, exactly 11 years after it started.
