Renault Grand Scenic IV: A Detailed Overview
The Grand Scenic IV marked a significant departure in design for the Scenic line, adopting a more crossover-inspired aesthetic. The Phase I models, produced between 2017 and 2018, featured a distinctive front end with C-shaped LED daytime running lights and a bold grille. The vehicle’s profile was characterized by sculpted lines and a floating roof design, contributing to a modern and dynamic appearance. The Grand Scenic IV was offered with five or seven seats, providing flexibility for families. The mild hybrid system was a key feature, aimed at reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
Engine & Performance
The Renault Grand Scenic IV 1.5 Energy dCi (110 Hp) Hybrid Assist is powered by a 1.5-liter inline-four cylinder diesel engine, designated the K9K. This engine produces 110 horsepower at 4,000 rpm and 260 Nm (191.77 lb.-ft.) of torque at 1,750 rpm. The engine utilizes a turbocharger and intercooler to enhance performance and efficiency. The “Energy dCi” designation signifies Renault’s efforts to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions. The mild hybrid system, also known as a Battery-Assisted Hybrid Vehicle (BAHV), incorporates a small electric motor and battery to provide assistance during acceleration and allow for regenerative braking. This system doesn’t enable fully electric driving but significantly improves fuel efficiency. The engine’s power-to-weight ratio is 14 kg/Hp, and the torque-to-weight ratio is 5.9 kg/Nm. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) takes 12.6 seconds, with a top speed of 181 km/h (112.47 mph). The engine displaces 1461 cm3 (89.16 cu. in.) and features a 76 mm bore and 80.5 mm stroke. It employs a diesel commonrail fuel injection system and meets Euro 6 emission standards.
