Buying a Used Renault Scenic E-Tech (2024 on): 60 vs 87 kWh, 22 or 11 kW Charging, Warranty & What to Pay

The Renault Scenic E-Tech electric is a long-range family SUV, available in the UK since 2024 and named European Car of the Year 2024. Its launch price started at around £41,000 when new, with used examples now asking around £26,000. Every used example remains covered by Renault’s warranty. The complication for used buyers is that a new car now costs little more. This guide explains the versions, charging differences, warranty, owner experiences and likely prices. There’s a print-out checklist at the end.

Which Scenic are you looking at?

One body since launch, across three line-ups:

• 2024 (techno, esprit Alpine, iconic): the 87 kWh Long Range battery, a 220hp motor, up to 379 miles WLTP, 150 kW rapid charging and up to 22 kW AC. From February 2024, a 60 kWh, 170hp Comfort Range techno was also offered (260 miles, 130 kW DC), but proved rare and was discontinued in 2025.
• April 2025 update (techno, techno esprit Alpine, iconic esprit Alpine): solely 87 kWh, up to 381 miles, plus a new 11 kW on-board charger including a vehicle-to-load adaptor, and One Pedal driving. A special-order 22 kW option remained available without V2L, and appears on some 2025 registrations, so check the listing or exact vehicle specification.
• 2027 model year (orders from October 2026): a new 89 kWh battery offering up to 392 miles and quicker rapid charging (15–80% in 28 minutes).

All versions share the spacious cabin and 545-litre boot. Find full specifications on the Scenic E-Tech page. Equipment depends more on trim than year: iconic adds the Solarbay dimming glass roof, Harman Kardon sound system and a 360-degree camera.

Recalls

The government’s recall list (in October 2026) has one Scenic E-Tech recall: 40 cars built between April 2024 and May 2025 for a parking-brake actuator in the drive unit that could fail. Check the specific car on GOV.UK’s recall checker.

Warranty: every used Scenic is still covered

Renault’s warranty runs 5 years or 100,000 miles (unlimited miles for the first two years), and the battery is covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles against falling below 70% of its capacity. Both transfer with the car:

• Registered 2024: main warranty to 2029, battery warranty to 2032 (or 100,000 miles).
• Registered 2025: main warranty to 2030, battery warranty to 2033 (or 100,000 miles).
• Registered 2026: main warranty to 2031, battery warranty to 2034 (or 100,000 miles).

Realistic range

Our estimate for a typical car of each age, from the same battery-ageing model as the rest of EVcarsguide:

These figures assume the battery has aged like a typical car’s. Gentle driving beats them, while fast motorway driving falls short.

What owners report

• Comfort and space win owners over: a quiet and supple ride, a practical interior and deep boot, with a generously equipped base techno.
• Range is strong within its class: around 300 miles in mild conditions and 3.2–3.6 miles per kWh, with owners enjoying long European journeys. Fast motorway trips and winter reduce this noticeably (around 2.9 miles per kWh at 75 mph).
• Rapid charging can peak considerably below the stated 150 kW maximum.
• Gripes: an inconsistent My Renault app, bulky key fob, a digital rear-view mirror some find distracting, and equipment varying between builds (22 kW charging, V2L, One Pedal). One owner describes repeated first-year issues with windscreens, rattles and weak air conditioning.

The owners’ own advice: check the car’s exact spec rather than assuming by year, check the tyre pressures (several cars were delivered well over spec), and pre-heat while plugged in.

What to pay

Nearly all used Scenic E-Techs advertised have the 87 kWh Long Range battery, leaving year, trim and mileage as the main choices:

Most examples are esprit Alpine, priced around £26,500; a techno is nearer £25,900 and an iconic about £28,000.

Used or new? From April 2026 the Scenic qualifies for the full £3,750 Electric Car Grant, putting a new 2027-model-year techno with its larger 89 kWh battery at £33,245 (the esprit Alpine versions £36,245 and £38,245). That is only about £7,000 above a used 2024 example with 14,000 miles, bringing longer range, quicker charging and a full warranty. Buying used makes most sense at well below typical asking prices, or if you want the 22 kW home charging fitted to 2024 cars. Treat these as asking prices rather than valuations.

Questions to ask the seller

1. Is it the 87 kWh or the 60 kWh battery?
2. Does it have the 22 kW or the 11 kW on-board charger?
3. When was it first registered (for the warranty dates)?
4. Is the Renault service history complete, with software updates?
5. Has it had any recall or charging-fault work?
