Renault Grand Scenic (2016-2020) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Low running costs	Not as adventurous-looking as SUV rivals
Better packaging than an equivalent SUV	Third-row space not the biggest
Eye-catching looks for an MPV	Storage better in previous Scenics

Quick Summary

The Renault Grand Scenic (2016-2020) is a stylish seven-seat MPV that offers excellent value as a used purchase. Despite being out of fashion compared to SUVs, it provides superior practicality and more affordable running costs than equivalent crossovers. The cabin features a light and airy feel with comfortable front seating and a spacious middle row, though the third row is best reserved for occasional use. With a variety of petrol and diesel engines ranging from 108bhp to 168bhp, including an innovative Hybrid Assist diesel option, the Grand Scenic delivers impressive fuel economy and low insurance costs.

The Grand Scenic may not offer the sharpest driving dynamics, but it compensates with excellent equipment, attractive styling, and strong safety credentials. Storage throughout the cabin is generous, with large door bins, a sliding centre console, and hidden underfloor compartments. Diesel engines are particularly economical, with the dCi 110 achieving around 50mpg in real-world driving, whilst petrol versions are best suited to those prioritising practicality over fuel efficiency. As a used buy, the Grand Scenic represents outstanding value for money-conscious families seeking a practical, well-equipped, and affordable-to-run seven-seater.

Best for: Budget-conscious families seeking a practical seven-seater, those prioritising low running costs and excellent value, and buyers wanting better space than equivalent SUVs.

Not ideal for: Drivers seeking sharp handling or adventurous styling, those requiring maximum third-row space, or buyers wanting the latest storage flexibility of earlier Scenic generations.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Grand Scenic if: You're a budget-conscious family seeking a practical seven-seater, prioritising low running costs and excellent value, or wanting better space than equivalent SUVs.

Consider alternatives if: You seek sharp handling or adventurous styling, require maximum third-row space, or prefer the latest storage flexibility of earlier Scenic generations.

Competitive Position: The Renault Grand Scenic (2016-2020) is a compelling choice in the used seven-seat MPV market, offering outstanding value and low running costs. Whilst the Volkswagen Touran and Citroën Grand C4 Picasso offer slightly better value percentages and user ratings, the Grand Scenic matches them on expert rating and overall CarGurus score. It delivers superior practicality to SUV rivals at a fraction of the cost, with impressive fuel economy and affordable insurance. For families prioritising value and practicality over premium badge appeal or driving dynamics, the Grand Scenic remains an excellent and sensible choice.
