Renault Scenic 2009–2015 car dimensions: 4366 mm long, 1845 mm wide and 1636 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,400 kg. Braked towing is 1,300 kg.
The cabin offers dual-zone climate control on higher trims for personalized front-seat comfort, with rear vents available. Cruise control with speed limiter is standard across the range. Rear parking sensors are core or standard on many grades, with front sensors and reversing camera optional or on upper trims like Dynamique. A color TFT instrument display is fitted, and navigation systems like Carminat TomTom appear on mid-to-high grades, sometimes with a screen. Visio System lane departure warning arrives later in the generation on select trims. No factory Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. The flexible seating and storage make family use straightforward.
Boot space starts at 437 litres with rear seats up on the five-seat Scenic, expanding to 1837 litres with seats folded. Grand Scenic variants offer more, from around 564 litres in five-seat mode up to over 2000 litres fully expanded.
Braked towing capacity reaches 1300 kg on most versions, with unbraked at 750 kg. Payload is around 525 kg depending on engine and spec. The flexible interior and optional towbar support light work or leisure towing without special heavy-duty options noted.
The cabin feels spacious and airy with soft-touch materials on the dashboard and a high driving position. Modular seats slide, fold and remove easily for flexible layouts. Dual-zone climate control with rear vents keeps everyone comfortable. An optional panoramic glass roof adds light and openness. Plenty of storage trays, bins and a chilled glovebox handle family clutter well.

Standard ABS with EBD and brake assist plus ESP
Full set of front, side and curtain airbags as standard
ISOFIX child seat fixings on second-row seats
Petrol and diesel engines with low-emission eco2 options

Fuel options cover a range of petrol and diesel engines designed for family use. Efficient diesels deliver strong economy for longer trips while petrol units suit lower-mileage driving. Eco2 versions keep emissions in check without sacrificing everyday usability.
Servicing follows the manufacturer's maintenance document with oil and filter changes at set intervals that vary by engine. Cabin and air filters need regular replacement to keep the dual-zone climate system working well. Timing belts or chains have longer replacement cycles depending on the powertrain.
Safety is strong with a five-star Euro NCAP result. Standard kit includes adaptive front airbags, side and curtain airbags, seatbelt pretensioners with load limiters, ESP and ABS. ISOFIX points make child seats straightforward to fit securely.
The modular cabin and removable seats make the car easy to reconfigure and clean for family life. A four-year warranty with high mileage cover was offered in key markets. Routine checks of brakes, tyres and fluids keep it reliable over high miles.
