Renault is gonna need a bigger trophy cabinet… because the Scenic E-Tech has just won another major ‘Car of the Year’ award.
Back in February this year, the newly-launched, fully-electric Scenic E-Tech was named ‘Car of the Year 2024’ by a team of 59 motoring journalists from 22 European countries.
And now respected automotive advice website Parkers has just handed the attractive SUV the main prize in its Parkers New Car Awards 2025.
The Scenic E-Tech was named ‘Car of the Year’ while it also triumphed in the ‘Best Medium Family Car’ category.
A Parkers spokesperson said: “Right now, the best family car is the all-electric Renault Scenic E-Tech. It really is an excellent offering. Inside, there’s plenty of room for growing families, with a well-sized boot and roomy underfloor storage compartment, and plenty of lounging space in the rear. The interior is nicely trimmed, and infotainment system – with full Google integration – works a treat. It’s quick and efficient at charging on the go, and thanks to the availability of an 87kWh battery pack, it’ll beat 300 miles of driving range without too much difficulty.”
The Scenic E-Tech excelled on the road, too, with ‘well-weighted steering, excellent brakes and lively performance’.
Luke Wilkinson, Deputy Editor of Parkers, said: “For car enthusiasts, it has a big dash of old-school Renault va-va-voom, with enough spirit in its dynamic DNA to provide a decent amount of fun for keen drivers.”
There were other big wins for Renault, with the Renault Clio taking home the silverware for ‘Best First Car’.
Interestingly, seven out of the 10 category winners are EVs. The accomplished BMW i4, for example, was awarded ‘Best Company Car’.
Keith Adams, Editor of Parkers, added: “Electrification is a hot topic right now, with lots of hostile media outlets sharing doom-and-gloom stories. But our awards tell their own story, with more EVs taking prizes than ICE cars. The reality is that EVs are becoming viable for an increasing number of buyers, who are in the lucky position to have home or workplace charging to back up the rapidly improving public rapid charger network.’
