@@badbasic if you can see some of my other comments on EVs, I would want a decent estate that can do 300-350 miles, however the MG5, Astra and 308 fall short of that and i5 is £70k plus. We’re not really blessed with much choice in the EV world for family sized cars that aren’t SUVs, I lost track of the number of friends I had who said “we need a bigger car now we’re having kids” and simply got a Qashqai or something equally boring with no actual further room like an estate car would have given… That being said, I’m allowed my opinion that is is actually a decent looking motor, what I didn’t say is that it might suffer from the Peugeot effect for me (looks really cool and edgy on release, but once I’ve seen a few on the road it starts to look dated…)

PLEASE NOTE: The Alpine trim in the UK does not have 3D camera system or the panoramic roof as shown here. But with the much nicer wheels and seats iv still gone for it over the Iconic. I’m going from a 2021 Peugeot 3008 in to this. I did test the new E 3008 Peugeot but still prefer the Renault. The Google assist in the car and portrait screen is brilliant and very responsive. I asked it about 10 various questions like “nearest Turkish restaurants” it brings up a list and reads them all out with distances. Also things like weather and sports results it caught every word and have quick responses visually on the screen and audibly. You can also do “Hey Google turn on drivers/passengers heated seat” which works perfectly and no need to take your eyes off the road and press buttons I have ordered this exact same car, trim, colour everything

@@AndiFleming-v7x Almost all the reviews on this around this time are done either in France, Spain etc and over there you get almost everything the same as the Iconic apart from the different wheels and Harmon sound system. If you look at the reviews done here it will be in the iconic version so every review has the pan roof. Little disappointed you don’t even get the rear view mirror camera either on the Alpine either as visibility through the standard mirror isn’t great. The Matte shadow grey is only available in the Alpine which is the colour iv gone for and looks awesome and much better than the metallic shadow grey.

We will be looking for a new EV around May/June next year. A couple of months back the Skoda Enyaq was the most likely option. Then the e-3008 became a possibility. But now I think the Renault Scenic is at the top of the list. 14-15 months to go before the decision is made but it's going to take something special to beat that Scenic. I really, really didn't want a grey car but that matte shadow grey paint option is too nice!!

There’ll be a lot of change, so spend the time playing with the EVs. On thing I hadn’t thought about how many Porton the phone integration is as well as mapping apps that let you support multi stop plans, schedule around trips-and let you save the roots for later. The one built into my car (BMW) isn’t up to this. It is probably fine for driving across the UK in the diesel model where you can decide which service station to pull into on a whim, but on an EV you want to plan ahead and tell the car where you’ll be stopping, so it knows to heat the battery. Ideally, you also want the passenger to be looking at Zapmap to see if the chargers are actually working there or whether you should pull off the motorway and hit something else. Of course in 14 to 15 months, things will be radically better there too: Even in the space of six months charging along the M4 and M5 has got way better.

Original Scenic owner here, bought one way back in 1999! They were great cars for the time and truly innovative with their folding/removable seats. Kids grown up now, but great family car at the time. This new one looks great and whilst it doesn’t have the flexibility of the old ones, there are some lovely touches in there and certainly a much better proposition than an e3008 and maybe edging out an Enyaq/ID4 too. As a company car driver might be tempted by one of these if the leasing rates are good.

The lure of more powerful RWD models like the Enyaq, Model Y or EV6 might be too much, until you look at the Scenic 87kwh Tecno. At £40,995 it is a lot of money but it is way cheaper than the rivals.

Love to have known the rear seat room when someone 6'4" is driving as a difference. All the reviewers on the channel need to bring a water bottle to show where they fit/don't fit as that is important for most owners. Many channels do bring one to show that. Is there a deadzone between the footrest and the brake pedal, as in enough room to put your foot on your floor rather than the footrest? Real world range based on your efficiency as stated of 3.3mi/kWh on the 87kWh pack gets you about 287mi, assuming the 87kWh is usable not gross battery size.

The e-3008 has more battery capacity, though - 73 vs. 60, and 98 vs. 87. Also, you don't get a dual motor option with the Scenic, and the e-3008's coupé shape makes it slightly less draggy. Still, the Scenic does weigh a fair amount less, and if you're wanting more space, the e-5008 is going to be even more expensive. I can only hope that the Peugeot offerings have more kit and better material quality, because it feels as if they're trying to compete in a different sector and it's likely to go horribly wrong for them.

Based on the WLTP figures, the range of the Long Range Scenic is only 56 miles less than the e-3008. Is an extra 56 miles really worth £7,000 to £8,000? The LR e-3008 is also slower and as mentioned in the review, less practical too.
