The all-electric Renault Scenic E-Tech has been voted European Car of the Year 2024. The results were announced at a ceremony at the Geneva International Motor Show (Switzerland) this morning.
After the first round of voting last November, the Scenic was chosen as one of seven finalists alongside the BMW 5-series, BYD Seal, Kia EV9, Peugeot E-3008/ 3008, Toyota C-HR, and Volvo EX30.
The trophy winner was chosen by a jury of 59 motoring journalists from 22 countries. The Scenic came in first place with 329 points, thus becoming the seventh Renault vehicle to win this title ‘European Car of the Year’.
The previous winners from the French carmaker were the Renault 16 (1966), Renault 9 (1982), Clio (1991), Scenic (1997), Megane (2003), and Clio (2006).
A full-electric vehicle developed on the medium AmpR platform (formerly CMF-EV), Renault claims that the Scenic E-Tech gives up to 625km of range (WLTP), along with boasting a spacious interior, and tech-enhanced driving pleasure.
The entry-level price for Scenic E-Tech sits under €40,000, with access to government subsidies in countries where incentive schemes are in place. Renault Ireland says that order books are already open, and the first vehicles will arrive in the Renault network very soon.
