Detailed analysis of the Renault Grand Scénic Expression 1.6 110 CV 7 plazas (2008)
General description
The 2007 Renault Grand Scénic Expression 1.6 110 HP 7-seater, launched in 2007, presents itself as a spacious and functional family option. Priced at 17,630 euros at the time, this minivan aimed to win over families who needed versatility and comfort for their daily commutes and trips. Its 1.6-liter, 111 HP gasoline engine, combined with a 5-speed manual gearbox, promised a balance between performance and efficiency for its segment.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Grand Scénic, the predominant feeling is one of comfort and ease of handling. The electric power steering, although not the most communicative, facilitates maneuvers in the city. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and trailing arm with torsional element at the rear, is clearly oriented to absorb road irregularities, offering a smooth ride for all occupants. However, this configuration results in noticeable body roll in fast corners, which encourages a more relaxed driving style. The 111 HP engine fulfills its purpose for family use, but don't expect dazzling acceleration; the 12.2 seconds to reach 100 km/h confirm this. It is a car to enjoy the journey without haste, with good visibility and a pleasant interior atmosphere.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2007 Renault Grand Scénic is eminently practical and functional, with soft lines and a silhouette that maximizes interior space. Its 5-door body and dimensions (4493 mm long, 1810 mm wide, and 1636 mm high) give it a robust but not excessively bulky presence. The large windows contribute to a feeling of spaciousness and brightness in the cabin. Although it does not seek to be a style icon, its aesthetics are pleasant and timeless, designed not to go out of fashion quickly and to meet the needs of a family. The interior, with its 7 seats, is designed to be modular and adaptable, with seats that can be folded or removed to configure the cargo space as needed.
Technology and features
In terms of technology, the 2007 Grand Scénic offered what was expected of a family vehicle of its time. Its 1.6-liter gasoline engine, with 4 cylinders and 16 valves, used indirect injection, a proven and reliable technology. The 5-speed manual transmission was the standard option, seeking a balance between cost and efficiency. In terms of safety, it had 300 mm ventilated disc brakes at the front and 274 mm discs at the rear, providing adequate braking capacity. The electric power steering was a plus for comfort in urban driving. Although it did not incorporate the latest innovations in connectivity or driving assistants that we see today, its equipment was focused on functionality and comfort for daily family life.
Competition
In the competitive segment of 7-seater compact minivans, the Renault Grand Scénic faced tough rivals. Among them, the Citroën Grand C4 Picasso stood out, offering a bolder design and a very bright interior; the Opel Zafira, known for its versatility and its Flex7 seating system; and the Volkswagen Touran, which opted for quality finishes and a more composed drive. Each of these competitors had its strengths, and the Grand Scénic was positioned as a balanced option, with a good compromise between space, comfort, and price, especially attractive for those who valued modularity and habitability.
Conclusion
The 2007 Renault Grand Scénic Expression 1.6 110 HP 7-seater is a minivan that more than fulfills its purpose: to transport a large family with comfort and safety. Its functional design, ample interior space, and focus on comfort make it a sensible option for those looking for a practical vehicle. Although it is not a car for thrills, its engine performs well, and its road behavior is predictable and safe. It is a reliable and versatile travel companion, ideal for daily life and for those family getaways where space is paramount. Its value for money at the time of its launch made it very competitive in its segment.
