The Renault Scenic E-Tech electric has claimed the coveted Erin Baker Award at the Auto Trader New Car Awards 2024, after the renowned online buying platform’s Editorial Director praised the all-electric family car for its impressive range, generous standard equipment, and appealing design.
A highlight of the annual awards, the exclusive accolade is presented to vehicles with excellent design that demonstrate a strong sustainability focus.
On her reasons for choosing the Scenic E-Tech electric, Erin Baker, Auto Trader’s Editorial Director, commented: “The Renault Scenic E-Tech offers the sort of range on a single charge that usually comes with a much higher price tag. Not only does this give drivers’ peace of mind, but it's a great looking car inside and out. It’s also packed with tech including, Google integration, parking camera, and heated steering wheel as standard, plus, one of the best things I've ever seen on a car – the solar based sunroof. Amazing work, Renault.”
Guillaume Sicard, Managing Director Renault UK, said: “This award and the reasons for winning it epitomise what the Scenic E-Tech electric stands for. A game-changer within the family car sector, it is a brilliant all-rounder first and foremost, which makes pure-electric driving a highly viable and attractive proposition, combining excellent usability with the technology and style that is increasingly important to customers.”
The accolade adds to the rapidly growing trophy cabinet of the Scenic E-Tech electric, notably following its win of the ‘Car of the Year 2024’ title, which was presented earlier this year at the Geneva Motor Show and awarded by 59 car journalists from 22 countries.
Brimming with useful and intuitive technology, the Renault Scenic E-Tech’s all-electric powertrain features a compact motor (with 125kW/170hp or 160kW/220hp) plus a 60kW or 87kWh battery pack for a range of up to 379 miles. The long wheelbase ensures an exceptionally spacious cabin while its pioneering Solarbay opacifying glass roof and ingenious rear armrest – which includes storage for devices, screen stands and cup holders – create an inviting, comfortable and practical space for families.
Clever use of new materials and a complete absence of leather in the interior are part of a renewed focus on sustainability. In fact, up to 24% of the Scenic E-Tech electric’s materials are recycled while 90% of its mass – including the battery – is recyclable.
