Renault Scenic E-Tech 2026 review Australia: New EV brings 625km range advantage over Kia EV3 rival

James Cleary reviews the 2026 Renault Scenic E-Tech to see how this revived nameplate handles the competitive Australian electric SUV market. This five-seat family hauler arrives in three model grades starting with the Techno EV60, followed by the Techno Long Range EV87 and the flagship Esprit Alpine EV87. James examines the sharp French design and the interior technology, including the 12.3-inch digital cluster and 12-inch vertical infotainment screen featuring Google built-in.

The review tests the 87kWh battery which offers a segment-leading 625km WLTP driving range and 160kW of power. Practicality is a major focus as we explore the 545L boot and the ingenious rear armrest designed for modern families. James also compares the driving impressions and value proposition against main rivals like the slightly smaller Kia EV3, Hyundai Kona EV and BYD Atto 3.

On the road, we evaluate the front-wheel-drive platform, ride comfort, and the effectiveness of the four-stage regenerative braking system. Ownership costs are also detailed including the five-year warranty and 30,000km service intervals. This comprehensive test determines if the Scenic E-Tech is the right choice for your next new car.
