The Renault Scenic Electric has a 545-litre boot capacity. You open the tailgate to a really deep, squared-off load space that’s complete with a few bag hooks, a 12V charger and cable storage under the floor.
The problem is that the floor is a long way down from the load lip, and the 40/20/40-split rear seats leave a big step up when folded down. So while there’s plenty of space in the boot, it’s mostly in the depth. Renault will be providing a variable boot floor, its unclear if this will be standard or an option at launch.

Just a quick comment about the boot after test-driving one of the UK Scenic E-Techs last week. We'd read a few negative comments in reviews about the high entry level & deep space beyond, but were pleasantly surprised by what we found - but then we're upgrading from a Zoe, so that's probably not surprising! As Rob says above, the boot offers a basic loading capacity of 545 litres, which can be increased to 1,670 litres when the rear bench seat is fully folded down, so there’s a lot of space but a lot of height in that space. It's going to involve lifting things over the fairly-high entry level lip into what I reckoned was about a 10”-12” drop to the boot floor. The lip up to the lowered bench seat level is also a bit high but it’s all very useful space for our needs. The boot entry is just under a metre wide (96.4cm) at its narrowest point, so may seem a bit narrow for some items - the wide double-buggy we have for our smaller grandchildren will just about be okay. The test drive model had an optional boot insert fitted (the test-driver reckoned it's similar to one available for the Megane E-Tech, but I haven't seen that), which raises the lower level up to the boot entry level & adds 3 substantial storage compartments under its fold-down floor. I've not seen anything on the website about this add-on yet, but our test-driver reckons it’ll probably be a couple of hundred pounds extra to buy it as an accessory any time after purchasing the car itself. The first section of the insert has a boot-wide single storage space, sitting over a built-in lower cable-storage space behind the main battery pack, then 2 half-width compartments behind it for storing other items, all covered by a fold-down floor at entry level - useful and it looked and felt well-built, but is probably a bit expensive for us just for keeping things tidy. It's a substantial upgrade for us anyway, so we're happy.
Hi sandafletcher. Really cheeky I know - but are you able to measure the other dimensions?
Opening height.
Height beneath parcel shelf
minimum width
Depth at bottom
Depth at parcel shelf?
This is on the list but the narrowness of the boot compared to my current car means I need to check if it can fit my golf clubs and a pram in (unique requirements I suspect). Did a test drive but didnt have time to play with the boot to see how I could make this work - but I know its more of a challenge than my current estate car
