Scenic E-Tech 67 kWh 220hp (MY27)

The Renault Scenic E-Tech 67 kWh 220hp (MY27) is a 5-seat SUV with front-wheel drive, not sold in the UK, but on sale from €37,590 in Germany and €38,990 in the Netherlands. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 7.9 seconds, slower than 70% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 233 miles (375 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 39% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 158th of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.5 mi/kWh (179 Wh/km), about the same as the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 67 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 110 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 257 miles (413 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses LFP chemistry, which manufacturers generally allow to be charged to 100% routinely.
