Fast-forward to today and again the Scenic is Car of the Year, but it couldn't be more different from the one that the company launched in 1996.
That Scenic was a compact people carrier which made great use of its interior space. And naturally it came with a choice of various petrol and diesel engines.
Today's Scenic is only electric. Also, it isn't a people carrier. Renault insists: "It is just a car. The customer will decide upon his or her own definition of what it is." Which is fair enough.
Whatever the interpretation, the Scenic E-Tech is most certainly a very good car.
We're driving an Iconic long-range version in Midnight Blue with a Black Diamond roof. It's a good-looking car from the outside and it doesn't disappoint when you climb aboard either.
Being the Long Range option, it's fitted with a 87kWh battery.
Also available is a 60kWh unit which is available in the cheaper models.
Renault quotes the official WLTP range as 369 miles, which is more than adequate and beats most rivals.
