Renault unveils new Scenic range

Renault has launched the new 2009 Scenic range, with three models on offer to the buying public.

These are the Scenic, Grand Scenic 5-seat and Grand Scenic 7-seat, with a starting price of £14,495.

With numerous different specification levels available, comprising Team, Dynamique, Dynamique S and Conquest (available on Scenic only), punters should have a fair few options to choose from.

Externally, the three-model Scenic range benefits from a front end facelift with new chrome-effect grille and black headlight surrounds, as seen on the sporty GT versions of Mégane and New Laguna respectively.

In addition to the styling updates, the main changes to the range for 2009 is the launch of a new special edition 'Team', which arrives to replace the former Extreme and Expression trim levels.

With an increase in equipment, but the same entry price as the out-going Extreme, the Team is especially good value.

Featuring an impressive equipment list and plenty of Gallic style, on the outside, the entry-level newcomer boasts all-round metallic paint, satin chrome finish door handles and body-coloured door mirrors, while on the inside, it benefits from air conditioning, RDS CD-radio, leather steering wheel, automatic handbrake and front/rear electric windows.

The style continues on the inside with dark grey upholstery with blue stitching and the same charcoal cabin finish as seen on Dynamique versions.
