Renault Korea (CEO Stefan Debléz) will begin accepting pre-orders for the 'Scenic E-Tech 100% Electric' (hereafter referred to as Scenic E-Tech), scheduled for launch in the domestic market in August, starting on the 27th.
It has been found that about 4,000 customers showed interest in the Scenic E-Tech waiting program conducted for a month from May 26 ahead of this pre-order. In particular, among the customers who registered interest in the Scenic, 54% were counted in their 30s and 40s, indicating high interest among younger customers.
The Scenic E-Tech, which will be imported and sold in 999 units in the domestic market this year, is produced at the Douai plant in northern France and is based on the electric vehicle dedicated platform 'AmpR Medium' developed by Ampere, the Renault Group's electric vehicle subsidiary. It features a relatively light body starting from 1855 kg, equipped with an electric motor that delivers a maximum output of 160 kW (218 ps) and a maximum torque of 300 Nm, showcasing agile driving performance.
Equipped with a high-performance NCM (nickel, cobalt, manganese) battery from LG Energy Solution with a capacity of class-leading 87 kWh, it offers a maximum driving range of 460 km on a single charge and can charge the battery from 20% to 80% in about 34 minutes with a 130 kW fast charger.
Additionally, it applies the 'Smart Cocoon' technology, which inserts damping-enhancing foam between the vehicle's floor and battery casing, blocking external noise and vibrations that enter the cabin while driving, providing improved cabin tranquility.
In the event of a fire, the 'Fireman Access' developed in collaboration with the French fire authorities allows water to be sprayed directly onto the battery for quick response. The 'Pyro Switch' technology, which cuts off high-voltage battery power in the event of an accident when airbags deploy, also provides increased safety in preventing battery fires.
The Scenic E-Tech boasts spacious interior space based on a flat floor design. In particular, the second row of seats provides a generous kneeroom of 278 mm and headroom of 884 mm, offering an interior space that is comparable to that of a family SUV. Additionally, it is equipped with a 'Solarbay®' panoramic sunroof of luxury brand specifications, allowing passengers to control the transparency according to their preferences, providing a heightened experience.
