Launched in France in 2009, the best-selling MPV came with a redesigned exterior and new, more efficient engines.
The exterior cues were inspired by the Renault Megane Coupe, thus the Scenic looked a bit sporty, while still offering all the versatility of an MPV.

The fluid lines used for the interior, as well as the clean dashboard and intuitively placed controls made the cabin a nice place to be in.

The materials inside the Scenic were of good quality and the dashboard had a soft-touch finish. Easily customisable, the users were able to choose between beige, elegant hues or a sportier finish of the interior.

The space offered was improved with the longer wheelbase and the passengers in the rear seats benefited of more legroom to travel in comfort.

The visibility was also improved with the repositioned windscreen pillars.

The modular interior of the Scenic was one of the its strongest points. The front passenger seats could be folded, the second row of seats could be tipped forward, as well as all the passengers seats could be completely removed, to allow longer and larger items to be carried.

The comfort was enhanced with the parking brake assist and the cruise control available.

Compared to the previous Scenic, the 2009 model featured a more saloon-like driving position, with the floor being raised by 15mm.
