The New 2014 Renault Grand Scenic Review

There are 3 different takes on the 2014 Renault Scenic formula: The 3rd generation Standard Scenic, the adventurous Scenic XMOD crossover and then this… the 2nd generation Grand Scenic.

The Grand Scenic offers itself up as a longer, 7 seat version of the standard Scenic that allows the range more versatility in an extremely competitive family car sector. While the mainstream Scenic takes a more all-round approach to being a compact MPV, the 2014 Renault Grand Scenic is on the scene to compete against 7 seat competitors. This 2nd generation vehicle is a smarter looking approach to the same idea as before. The result is a very practical, safe and above all comfortable family car which remains an affordable option for family buyers.

To drive, it’s pretty much on the same level as the regular Scenic. It still has a hatchback like quality, but there are some effects on the dynamics due to being a larger vehicle in general. It’s obviously not a chuck about vehicle but it does make time when you need it to and it won’t throw you about with the roll on sharp cornering. There is also very little noise due to fantastic soundproofing. The 2014 Renault Grand Scenic is all about the ride comfort and to that end it’s been carefully engineered to purpose. Obviously it’s not going to be the kind of car you’d feel confident squaring up to a Nissan GTR in, but it does everything you need it to effectively and with considerable comfort. What more do you need from a car like this?

The key difference here is that the 3rd row of seats (sitting up to 7 people) and also the length to accommodate this function (216mm more than the standard Scenic model). Bearing in mind that this is still classed as a compact MPV, the leg and head space is functional but still pretty restricted and should probably stay confined to children’s use. However this is more or less the same story in the 2014 Renault Grand Scenic’s direct rivals such as the Vauxhall Zafira Tourer and Peugeot 5008. That brings us on to cargo space. With the back seats up you have 208ltrs, so if using it to take a larger family on holiday then it might be worth investing in the optional roof box for extra luggage capacity. With the 3rd row folded down into the floor, the space available extends to a large 564ltrs. With the second row folded forwards you get a spacey 1863ltrs and if you tumble the chairs forward you’ll have a total capacity of a whopping 2063ltrs. This car is best used in a 5 seat capacity with the occasional use of all 7.

All in all, what have we got here with 2014 Renault Grand Scenic? Aside from some fresher aesthetics, eco-friendly engines and a huge range of equipment options; the new 2014 Renault Grand Scenic is essentially giving more MPV-ness to the already well specified Scenic. Sure, it might not be the snazziest family car contender out there, but Renault do know their target market and this reflects in everything this car has to offer (which is a lot).
