Renault has unveiled a new and more affordable variant of the Scenic E-Tech electric SUV in the UK, aiming to make electric vehicle ownership more accessible to a broader audience. This is the cheapest electric Scenic money can buy starting at £37,495 OTR thanks to a smaller 60-kWh battery pack.

Exclusively available in the Techno trim, the new Scenic E-Tech electric comes at a £3,500 discount compared to the version with a larger battery. Additionally, the French manufacturer is offering a limited-time promotion, allowing customers to lease the Comfort Range model for just £429 per month on a four-year deal with a £750 deposit contribution.

Charging options include 22-kW AC and up to 130-kW DC charging at fast chargers. This allows for rapid charging from 15 per cent to 80 per cent in just 32 minutes, providing approximately 169 miles of range.
