Renault Scenic E-Tech Electric Crowned Car of the Year 2024

As we navigate through 2024, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the future of electric vehicles (EVs) is not just bright but also at the heart of automotive industry innovation. This year’s “Car of the Year” accolade has been awarded to the Renault Scenic E-Tech electric, a model that epitomizes how technology and environmental friendliness converge to offer solutions for both urban commutes and longer journeys.

A panel of 58 automotive journalists from across 22 countries bestowed this prestigious award on Renault, highlighting the vehicle’s versatility, driving comfort, and innovative technology. Built on the medium-sized AmpR platform, the Scenic E-Tech electric showcases how modern design and electromobility can come together to create a vehicle equally suited for quick city trips and extended travel.

The technical specifications of the vehicle deserve special attention: its light weight (1,890 kg) and compact size (4.47 m), combined with an impressive driving range of up to 625 km (WLTP), make it an ideal companion for everyday use. Furthermore, with a base price set below €40,000—coupled with government subsidies—the vehicle is accessible to a broader consumer base.

Renault has previously won the “Car of the Year” title six times, and the recognition of the Scenic E-Tech electric continues this tradition, bringing to the market a vehicle that embodies comfort, technology, and eco-friendliness.

In light of such developments, it’s evident that the electric vehicle market is entering a new era where sustainability and technological innovation take center stage, offering consumers an increasing array of choices. With the Renault Scenic E-Tech electric leading the way, the path towards a greener and more technologically advanced automotive future is undoubtedly being paved.
