With Scenic, Renault created the compact MPV, revolutionizing the industry with another new vehicle category. This concept car was a technological showcase, a design study aimed at producing a 21st-century family vehicle embodying Renault's idea of the "car for life and living." The "invitation to travel" theme was thoroughly developed in this cocoon-like vehicle through form, color, and trim and its functional innovations and safety features.

Double floor housing chassis and two stowages hold extra luggage, accessible via opening both inside and outside the car
