FactThis Scénic generation spun off a rugged crossover sibling, the Scénic Xmod, with roof rails and body cladding years before 'crossover MPV' was a trend.
The third-generation Renault Scénic (model code X95, designer Fabio Filippini, Renault–Nissan C platform, related to the Mégane III) was released in July 2009, while the seven-seater "New Grand Scénic" came in May 2009; the Grand Scénic is also offered as a five-seater. It was mildly facelifted in January 2012 (new front end, new engines, new digital instrument cluster) and updated in March 2013 with a new interior and exterior and driver aids, when a crossover version, the Scénic Xmod (with Renault Extended Grip traction control), was introduced; an Efficient Dual Clutch gearbox could be paired with the 1.5 dCi 110 bhp. Wheelbase 106.3 in (Grand Scénic 109.0 in), length 171.0 in (179.5 in), height 64.4 in (64.7 in) and width 72.6 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.
