Renault Scenic returns as radical EV with hydrogen range-extender

Renault design chief Gilles Vidal stated that the exterior design will evolve but that the concept is 90% ready for production in 2024.The Scenic Vision’s powertrain is mostly conventional, pairing the Mégane E-Tech Electric’s front-mounted 215bhp motor with a smaller battery, but innovatively, it adds a 15kW underfloor hydrogen fuel cell for charging the battery on the move.

Renault Group engineers are developing an all-new architecture for hydrogen- electric vehicles. Currently in the prototyping phase, it’s part of the company’s ongoing commitment to development of alternative powertrains. It’s designed specifically to house a battery, a motor, a fuel cell and a hydrogen tank.

The floor and seats, for example, are made of 100% recycled undyed plastics, the headliner is made of particulates generated by urban pollution and each technological element is said to be easily interchangeable to ensure that the car always contains Renault’s latest tech and avoid the need for owners to switch into a newer model.

Other features include microphones and speakers in every seat to create a “unique sound environment” for every passenger, a screen on the steering wheel that shows the back seats and swivelling dashboard screens that position themselves according to where the driver is looking.The cabin features an array of active systems to improve safety.
