Detailed analysis of the Renault Scénic Expression Energy Tce 115 Stop&Start · 116 CV (2012-2013)
General description
The 2012 Renault Scénic, in its Expression Energy Tce 115 Stop&Start version, is presented as a family minivan that seeks to combine functionality and efficiency. With a 1.2-liter, 116 HP gasoline engine, this vehicle promises to be a reliable daily companion, offering a balance between performance and consumption. Its design, although not groundbreaking, focuses on practicality and comfort for all occupants, maintaining the essence of a car designed for the family.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Scénic, the predominant sensation is one of smoothness and comfort. The 116 HP engine, although not an abundance of power, proves sufficient to move the vehicle with ease in most situations, especially in urban environments and secondary roads. The speed-sensitive electric power steering facilitates maneuvers and offers an adequate response. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and trailing arm with torsional element at the rear, filters road irregularities well, contributing to a pleasant journey. However, in more demanding accelerations, such as overtaking on the highway, a little more vigor may be missed. The Stop&Start system helps reduce consumption in the city, providing a sense of efficiency.
Design and aesthetics
The exterior design of the 2012 Renault Scénic is functional and discreet, without great aesthetic flourishes. Its lines are soft and rounded, seeking to maximize interior space. The 5-door body and its dimensions (4366 mm long, 1845 mm wide and 1640 mm high) position it as a compact but spacious minivan. Inside, the priority is habitability and modularity. The seats are comfortable and the trunk, with 437 liters, offers good capacity for family luggage. Visibility is good thanks to the large glazed area, and the layout of the controls is intuitive, although the overall design of the dashboard may seem somewhat sober for some tastes.
Technology and features
In terms of technology, the 2012 Scénic Expression Energy Tce 115 Stop&Start incorporates elements that seek to improve efficiency and comfort. The 1.2 Gasoline engine with 116 HP, direct injection, turbo and intercooler, together with the Stop&Start system, is a clear example of the pursuit of contained consumption (5.9 l/100km combined NEDC). The 6-speed manual transmission allows precise control over power delivery. In terms of safety, it has ventilated disc brakes at the front and disc brakes at the rear. The speed-sensitive electric power steering is a plus for maneuverability. Although it does not incorporate the latest connectivity innovations of more recent models, it meets expectations for its time in terms of functional equipment.
Competition
The 2012 Renault Scénic faces solid competition in the compact minivan segment. Among its main rivals are models such as the Citroën C4 Picasso, the Ford C-MAX, the Opel Zafira, or the Volkswagen Touran. Each of them offers its own advantages in terms of space, equipment, or driving dynamics. The Scénic stands out for its focus on ride comfort, interior modularity, and a good value for money, seeking to attract families who value practicality and efficiency in their daily lives.
Conclusion
The 2012 Renault Scénic Expression Energy Tce 115 Stop&Start is an honest and functional minivan, ideal for families looking for a spacious, comfortable vehicle with reasonable consumption. Its 116 HP engine offers adequate performance for most situations, and its interior design prioritizes habitability and versatility. Although it is not the most exciting car to drive or the most avant-garde in technology, it more than fulfills its purpose as a family vehicle. It is a sensible option for those who value practicality and economy of use above sporty performance or a risky design.
