The Renault Scenic IV, produced from 2016 to 2018 (Phase I), represents the fourth generation of Renault’s popular compact minivan. Positioned as a family vehicle, the Scenic IV aimed to blend practicality with modern styling and technology. This generation marked a significant departure from its predecessors, adopting a more crossover-inspired design and focusing on interior space and comfort. The 1.5 Energy dCi (110 Hp) EDC variant, equipped with a diesel engine and dual-clutch transmission, was a common offering in European markets, prioritizing fuel efficiency and reasonable performance for everyday driving.
Renault Scenic IV (Phase I) 1.5 Energy dCi (110 Hp) EDC
The Scenic IV, unlike its predecessors, moved away from the traditional MPV (Multi-Purpose Vehicle) silhouette towards a more dynamic and contemporary aesthetic. This shift was intended to broaden its appeal, attracting buyers who desired the practicality of a minivan but preferred a more stylish and modern vehicle. The Phase I models, produced between 2016 and 2018, established the design language for the fourth generation, setting the stage for subsequent updates and trim levels. The 1.5 Energy dCi engine option was particularly popular in Europe due to stringent emissions regulations and the demand for fuel-efficient vehicles.
Engine & Performance
The Renault Scenic IV 1.5 Energy dCi (110 Hp) EDC is powered by a 1.5-liter inline four-cylinder diesel engine, designated the K9K. This engine produces 110 horsepower at 4000 rpm and 260 Nm (191.77 lb.-ft.) of torque at 1750 rpm. The engine features a turbocharger and intercooler to enhance performance and efficiency. Power is delivered to the front wheels via a seven-speed Efficient Dual Clutch (EDC) automatic transmission. This transmission provides smooth and quick gear changes, contributing to a more refined driving experience.
Performance figures include a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration time of 12.4 seconds and a 0-60 mph time of approximately 11.8 seconds. The vehicle has a maximum speed of 183 km/h (113.71 mph). Fuel economy is a strong point, with combined fuel consumption rated at 4.0 l/100 km (58.8 US mpg or 70.6 UK mpg).
