The 131 HP diesel engine, with its 300 Nm of torque, offers adequate response for daily use and long journeys, although don't expect dazzling acceleration (12.1 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h). The suspension, McPherson type at the front and torsion beam with trailing arms at the rear, filters out road irregularities well, contributing to a pleasant ride. The electric power steering facilitates maneuvers in the city, making its size not an impediment. The combined consumption of 5.8 l/100km is a plus for family economy.

Its 4259 mm length, 1805 mm width, and 1621 mm height give it a robust but not excessively bulky presence. The 5 doors facilitate access to a cabin designed for the family, and its 430-liter trunk is quite generous for luggage. Although it is not a car that stands out for its sportiness, its functional aesthetic is still attractive for its segment.
Technology and features

Its common rail direct injection diesel engine, turbo with variable geometry and intercooler, was an example of efficiency. The 6-speed manual transmission allowed good control over power delivery. In terms of safety, it had ventilated disc brakes at the front and discs at the rear, and electric power steering that improved the driving experience. Although it did not have current driving aids, it offered solid equipment for its time.
Competition
At the time, the Renault Scenic competed in a very competitive segment with minivans such as the Citroën C4 Picasso, the Ford C-Max, or the Opel Zafira. Each offered its own advantages in terms of space, modularity, or equipment, but the Scenic always stood out for its overall balance and its focus on family comfort.

The 2003 Renault Scenic 1.9 dCi 130 HP Emotion is a car that, despite its age, remains a sensible option for those looking for a spacious, comfortable family vehicle with contained consumption.
