The Renault Grand Scenic comes with a choice of two petrol engines and three diesels. Manual and automatic transmission are available on all but the entry-level petrol and diesel engine. All power the front wheels.
Most models are seven-seat, so all figures in this section are for those versions. Expect five-seat variants to be even more fuel efficient, albeit only slightly.
The dCi 106 comes with six-speed manual transmission and is the most frugal in the line-up. It delivers an impressive combined average economy of 52.3mpg, yet its 240Nm of pull helps it achieve 111mph.
The most powerful diesel, available with a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic, is the dCi 150. In manual guise, its 340Nm of hauling muscle brings 127mph performance although economy remains excellent at 48.7mpg.
The mid-range diesel is the dCi 130, which combines 119mph pace with 47.1mpg economy when driving through a six-speed manual gearbox. This engine generates 300Nm of pull and is also available with a four-speed automatic.
The most powerful petrol engine, the 135bhp 2.0 VVT, is also offered with a six-speed manual or four-speed automatic gearbox. The manual version blends 121mph potential with 34.4mph economy.
The other petrol engine is the 110bhp 1.6 VVT. This version offers additional economy of 35.7mpg in exchange for some pace although it is still capable of 112mph. It is fitted with a six-speed manual gearbox.
