High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Renault Scenic is a compact MPV produced by French automaker Renault, the first to be labelled as such in Europe. It is based on the chassis of the Megane small family car. It became European Car of the Year on its launch in late 1996. The Megane Scenic can be traced back to a concept car designed under the supervision of Anne Asensio, then Designer at Renault. The Scenic was mechanically identical to the Megane hatchback (itself based on the older R19). The 1.4 L, 1.6 L "Energy", 1.8 L "F-type" petrol and 1.9 L diesel engines were shared with the hatchback range. The Scenic was aimed at those who wanted all the practicality of a multi-purpose vehicle, but could not accommodate the larger size and higher price of such vehicles as Renault's own Espace. Renault underestimated the sales impact that the Scenic would have — predicting that it would be a niche model with only 450 produced a day. Production at the company's Douai plant would eventually peak at nearly 2500 cars a day. With the Scenic, Renault are said to have created a new market segment — the compact MPV.
