How we use engine sizes.
Renault Scenic fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Renault Scenic from 2000, when the data begins, and still lists it. On the WLTP test (listings 2021 to 2026), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 39.8 to 51.4 mpg, with CO2 of 144 to 162 g/km; electric versions have an official range of 261 to 382 miles. On the older NEDC test (listings 2000 to 2018), official combined fuel economy for its petrol, diesel and diesel hybrid versions ranges from 29.7 to 80.7 mpg, with CO2 of 94 to 224 g/km.

Older NEDC figures, listed 2000 to 2018 (11 engine and fuel groups)
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2000 to 2018
Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in
real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
NEDC figures (in VCA’s data until September 2018) and WLTP figures (from the 2019 guide)
come from different tests, so they are shown separately and should not be compared.
Electric cars produce no exhaust CO2; range and miles per kWh are VCA’s official figures.
VCA’s data has no Renault versions for 2019 to 2020, so the years listed may leave out years the Renault Scenic was on sale.
Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in
VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was
listed.
Matched from VCA’s model names “Scénic”, “New Scenic (all versions and trim levels)”, “SCENIC E-TECH 100% ELECTRIC”, “New Scenic”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Renault Scenic safety recalls
DVSA lists 17 safety recalls for the Renault Scenic since 1992, the first in 1997. The most recent was launched on 9 September 2025.
Risk of parking brake actuator failing
Launched 9 September 2025DVSA recall R/2025/377Manufacturer ref. OEY9
Defect
For certain vehicles a concern involving the electric traction reducer parking brake mechanism actuator or gearbox engagement actuator within the transmission may result in the parking brake mechanism actuator no longer correctly positioning the locking pawl in the “P lock”.
Remedy
Replacement of the electric traction reducer parking brake mechanism actuator or gearbox Engagement Actuator.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Renault Scenic. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or
incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a
dealer. How we match recalls to models.
Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
MOT figures cover normal tests of cars aged three and over in 2025; retests are excluded. Age is rounded to the nearest year.
DVSA records the model name typed in at the test. We match those names to DVLA’s generic models, so a handful of tests may be counted under a close relative.
