Renault UK has announced the pricing of the Scenic facelift range and the new Scenic XMOD. The prices start from just £17,955, with XMOD aggressively priced at the same as the equivalent standard Scenic, in spite of its enhanced looks and higher equipment level.

Together with the facelifted 5-seat Scenic and 7-seat Grand Scenic, which each now feature the company’s new design identity, as seen on each of its latest arrivals, Twingo, Clio, Captur and ZOE, Renault is looking to cover every base in the hotly contested C-segment.

The exterior of Scenic comes with bigger logo at the front set against a gloss black background that emphasises the new grille. Elegant lines and high-quality materials also help to enhance the MPV’s dynamic, family-oriented feel.

The crossover-inspired Scenic XMOD, starting from £17,955, comes in two well-equipped trim levels, Expression+ and Dynamique TomTom. The revised Scénic and Grand Scénics in Dynamique TomTom trim, starting from £19,155 and £20,355 respectively.

The new XMOD comes with a high level of specification. Even from the entry Expression+: it includes 16” ‘Tundra’ alloys or ‘Frontier’ design wheels with Grip Xtend and mud and snow tyres, Hill Start Assist. Moving up to Dynamique TomTom adds dual zone climate control, auto lights and wipers and Carminat TomTom ‘Live’ satellite navigation

Scenic and Grand Scenic Dynamique TomTom are equally well specified too. Among its core features are 16” alloy wheels, dual zone climate control, Carminat TomTom ‘Live’ satellite navigation and rear parking sensors.

The engine range includes three petrol: 1.6 VVT 110, 1.2 TCe 115 Stop & Start and 1.2 TCe 130 Stop & Start and two diesel: 1.5 dCi 110 Stop & Start & 1.6 dCi 130 Stop & Start.

Also new for the new-look Scénic range are two colours, Saffron Yellow on XMOD and Dune on all three.

The new Renault Scenic XMOD model will enrich the automotive world, being reborn as a crossover. It has a sporty and elegant stance, raised ground clearance and special alloy wheels.

The crossover-inspired design includes special front and rear bumpers, sill guards and chrome-finish roof bars across the range. Furthermore, the front end combines Renault’s new design identity and signature LED daytime running lights for more distinctiveness.

The logo of the brand at the front has made bigger and set against a gloss black background. This is the new grille, which expresses the new design language of the famous French automaker.

In terms of interior, this Scenic modification  features wide range technology equipment: fixed centre console, rotary control for the all-new Grip Xtend traction control system, multi-directional joystick control for the Renault R-Link 7” touchscreen multimedia system with customizable TFT display.

The top-of-the-range includes a flat-bottomed steering wheel, aluminium-capped pedals and gear lever knob and new interior appointments, new stitched upholstery, Leather/Alcantara Pack, Bose® tailor-engineered sounds with excellent acoustic performance.

What is more, the XMOD features the Grip Xtend system, which is an advanced traction control system that helps the crossover to grip the road confidently under difficult driving conditions. There are three modes here: “Expert” mode, where the Grip Xtend operates the braking system, while leaving the driver in full control of the engine torque.

The second one is the “Road” mode, where the driver is being offered conventional traction control settings. And at last the “Loose Ground” mode, which maximizes the braking control and engine torque control as a function of available grip.

The vehicle will be offered three new Energy powertrains. Especially noteworthy is the brand-new TCe 130 Stop & Start engine, boasting a 15% improvement on fuel consumption over the previous TCe 130 unit, equivalent to a combined-cycle saving of more than 1 litre/100km.

Renault Scénic XMOD will make its official debut on 5th of March at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show.
