Geneva Debut for New Renault Scenic, Grand Scenic and Megane Grandtour

Along with the new 250HP Megane Coupe RS, Renault will also stage the world debut of three more Megane-based models at the Geneva Show, the Scenic and Grand Scenic MPVs and the Megane Grandtour station-wagon. The French firm's new people carrier will be available once again in two styles, the five-seater Scenic and the extended-wheelbase Grand Scenic that can accommodate seven passengers in three rows of seats.

As you can see in the images that come from a patent application made by Renault with the EU trademark office, the Scenic III's styling draws on the latest Megane as well as the Laguna - at least in what concerns the front-end design.

Renault's Opel Zafira and Volkswagen Touran rival will share the same engine line-up with the rest of the Megane range. This means that the petrol engine range will consist of 100 and 110HP 1.6-liter units, a 140HP 2.0-liter and the turbocharged 130HP 1.4TCe and 180HP 2.0TCe. Diesel options will include 1.5 dCi 85HP, 90 HP, 105 HP and 110 HP units along with more powerful 130 HP, 150HP and 160 HP variants.

As for the Megane Grandtour, Renault's C-Segment station-wagon is expected to feature a longer wheelbase than the hatchback model. The engine range variations will of course be on par with the Megane hatchback.

2009 Renault Scenic MPV III Scooped Without Camouflage

Somehow, the folks over at French car magazine “Autoplus” have managed yet again to get "comfortable" with a totally undisguised example of a future Renault product, this time with the 2009 Scenic III. The third generation of Renault’s mid-sized people carrier is based on a modified version of the 2009 Megane’s platform and like the current model, it too will be offered in two guises; the standard five-seater Scenic and the seven-seater Grand Scenic with an extended-wheelbase. -Continued

As with all previous generations of Renault’s popular mid-size MPV, the Scenic III is expected to offer a wide variety of storage solutions and a fully customizable interior. The Renault Scenic III will most probably make its public debut along with the new Megane at the forthcoming Paris Motor Show in October with sales following in early 2009.
