While many electric SUVs still command premium prices, Renault has positioned its new Scenic EV as a genuinely affordable family option with monthly payments starting below £235. This competitive lease offer for the 2025 model represents exceptional value in a segment traditionally dominated by more expensive alternatives.
The attractive financing packages, combined with lower running costs inherent to EVs and an eight-year/100,000-mile battery warranty, make the Scenic a financially sound proposition for households seeking to shift to electric mobility.
Battery options range from 60 kWh to 87 kWh, delivering impressive WLTP ranges between 260 and 379 miles — figures that easily dispel range anxiety concerns for most family scenarios. The Scenic’s 220 hp output guarantees spirited performance, while DC charging capabilities of 130–150 kW mean rapid top-ups during longer journeys are entirely feasible.
I’ve found that families particularly appreciate this combination of range confidence and practical charging speeds.
The charging ecosystem is thoroughly future-proofed, featuring 11 kW AC two-way charging as standard, with an optional 22 kW bidirectional fast charger arriving in summer 2025. The included AC 22 charging cable stretches to 6.5 meters in length, providing flexibility when connecting to home or public charging stations. V2L capability, outputting up to 3.7 kW, allows owners to power household appliances directly from their vehicle — a feature that’s more than just a gimmick during power outages or outdoor activities. The Scenic EV supports smart charging technology that optimizes electricity usage and helps manage charging costs effectively.
Interior dimensions provide genuine family-friendly space, with up to 545 litres of cargo capacity and comfortable cabin proportions (length: 176 in, width: 73.4 in). The Solarbay opacifying sunroof adds a touch of premium feel rarely found at this price point. Much like the new Renault Austral, the Scenic EV offers improved comfort features that enhance the overall driving experience.
Technology integration is equally impressive, with dual OpenR screens incorporating Google functionality across 50+ apps, alongside Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.
Renault hasn’t skimped on aesthetics either, offering various trim levels including the sporty Esprit Alpine version. This combination of style, substance, and affordability explains why the Scenic EV has become such a compelling proposition for families.
For under £235 monthly, drivers gain access to genuinely cutting-edge electric mobility without the premium price tag.
