Renault is poised to introduce a new-generation Scenic. Groupe Renault’s Chairman and CEO Carlos Ghosn and the Group’s SVP Corporate Design Laurens van den Acker will unveil the new Scenic on March 1 at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show.

Renault claims to have created the compact MPV segment in Europe in 1996 with the original Scenic and has since introduced three generations that have sold nearly five million units.

The company says the guiding principle behind the fourth-generation Scenic was to provide a completely fresh take on the compact MPV. For the first time, like the new Espace, the model features a three-part windscreen designed to provide a panoramic view and enhanced visibility.

Compared with the Scenic 3, ground clearance has been raised and the rear overhang has been shortened, while wider tracks at both the front and rear are intended to provide the vehicle with a particularly solid stance.
