Renault Scenic review: The best electric family car at this price

Renault Scenic E-Tech is one of the first electric cars to offer more than 350 miles of WLTP range for close to 40,000 .

With smaller-diameter wheels on the base long-range model, you get a 379-mile range for 40,995 list price.

Top-spec Iconic trim, which pushes the price up to 45,495 , includes a fancy panoramic glass roof with variable opacity and big 20 in alloy wheels.

Renault ’s “My Perso” safety button is a button that you press twice to activate safety settings.

Land Rover has a similar system, with a long-press button to activate your chosen safety settings, but I don't know why most other manufacturers haven’t cottoned on to this.

I achieved an efficiency of 3.4 miles /kWh, almost regardless of how I drove, equating to a real-world range of more than 296 miles .

The Scenic E-Tech is the best electric family car at this price.

The electric car is versatile enough for the family to live a family life full of mucky boots, sports equipment, bikes, football club trips, long motorway journeys, big grocery shops and more.

Overall, it really was a strikingly brilliant family car.
