The Renault Scénic (French pronunciation: [senik]), also spelled without the acute accent as Scenic, especially in languages other than French, is a car which was produced by French car manufacturer Renault, the first to be labelled as a small multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) in Europe. The first generation was based on the chassis of the Mégane, a small family car. It became the 1997 European Car of the Year on its launch in November 1996.[1] In May 2022 Renault announced it was discontinuing the standard Scénic with the Grand Scénic following shortly after.[2] It will be relaunched in 2024 as a fully electric vehicle called the Renault Scénic E-Tech which will be the production version of the Renault Scénic Vision[3] concept unveiled in 2022, with the production version to be unveiled at the 2023 Munich Motor Show on September 4.[4]

The first generation facelifted Scénic added a four-wheel drive model called the Renault Scénic RX4, which was discontinued by the arrival of the Scénic II. The second, third and fourth generations have a model called Grand Scénic, which has seven seats rather than five. From the fourth generation (2016), the Scénic now utilizes 1/3-2/3 bench rear seats instead of three individual rear seats used in previous three generations, due to cost cutting measures.
