In a shocking twist of events, the Renault Scenic E-Tech electric has charged its way to the top, clinching the coveted title of The Car of the Year 2024. This announcement, sparking excitement and buzz, was made at the Geneva International Motor Show in Switzerland on Monday, 26th February.
The Scenic E-Tech, a compact powerhouse, outshone its competitors, including the BMW 5-series and Toyota C-HR, in a highly charged race. The final decision was delivered by a jury of 58 motoring journalists from 22 countries, who were electrified by Scenic’s performance, crowning it with a whopping 329 points.
This win marks a historic seventh victory for Renault in this prestigious award, joining the ranks of past winners like the Renault 16 and Megane.

It validates our choices in offering a vehicle that combines environmental responsibility with electrifying driving pleasure.”
Tailored for the urban jungle yet equally at home on long journeys, the Scenic E-Tech electric is a zero-emission marvel.
