Renault is reinventing the Scenic – and is consistently continuing the restructuring.
Renault held the French flag high at this year’s IAA, more confident than it has been for a long time and with a clearly defined plan for the coming years. Not least thanks to the busy CEO Luca de Meo, who was also well connected to the German competition, the company was the most present non-German brand in Munich.
There are reasons for optimism at Renault
The reasons for the optimism are quickly explained. Just in time for the brand’s 125th anniversary, the first fruits of the strategic realignment were recently reaped: 26.8 billion euros in sales in the first half of 2023 represent an impressive increase of 27.3 percent, and the operating margin reached 7.6 percent new record.
The spin-off of the electrical division called Ampere, which is also scheduled to go public at the beginning of 2024, plays a key role in the realignment. Slimmer structures and a clear internal distribution of roles should help make the next generation of electric cars noticeably cheaper. The future models R5 and R4 in particular should not only be technically innovative, but above all also affordable for a larger group of customers. But the current models also give reason to be happy, as the new Renault brand boss Fabrice Cambolive confirmed to the SN: “With the new Clio and the new Espace we have really stepped on the gas, and we will do the same with them in the coming months Feel the sales figures.”
This time in Munich the focus was on the new edition of the Scenic
Cambolive sees this as an “absolute game changer”: With a range of up to 620 kilometers according to WLTP, the 4.47 meter long electric crossover should be an attractive offer for both families and companies. When the market launches in spring 2024, two engines with 170 or 220 hp are promised. In addition to the futuristic, particularly aerodynamic design, the four-stage darkening glass roof, the high proportion of recycled plastics and the 545 liter trunk are further highlights.
