Renault Grand Scenic

Features of the car

In addition to the characteristic recognizable design, minivans from the Renault company are distinguished by a spacious interior, which is even larger in the Renault Grand Scenic due to the fact that the car is 20 centimeters longer. The third row of seats is not very convenient for tall people, but it can be hidden in the floor, forming a level platform. As a result, the volume of the trunk increases. It can also be made larger by the second-row seats, each of which has its own adjustments and moves back and forth across the cabin.

Among the second-hand Renault Grand Scenic, the second-generation cars, which were produced from 2009 to 2016, can be considered the most sold today. This is a very comfortable car, equipped with all possible options for its class. Including:

• adaptive cruise control;

• safety systems: ABS, ESP;

• multimedia with navigation, AUX, Bluetooth and USB;

• multi steering wheel;

• double panoramic roof with opening front hatch;

• starting the engine using a button.

Glove boxes, drawers and niches for small luggage deserve special attention, the total volume of which in the Grand Scenic reaches almost 100 liters.

For all its comfort and functionality, the Renault Grand Scenic is also very economical. The machine is equipped with four types of motors. These are two gasoline ones:

• The 1.2-liter engine, improved in 2013, consumes 6.4 l/100 km in the combined cycle and accelerates the car to 100 km/h in 11.7 seconds;

• a 1.6-liter engine, its fuel consumption is 7.7 liters per 100 km, acceleration to a hundred takes 12.6 seconds, and the maximum possible speed is 185 km/h.

And also two diesel ones, which are even more economical:

• 1.5-liter with fuel consumption in the mixed cycle of 4.9 l/100 km (with manual transmission) and 4.7 l/100 km (with automatic transmission);

• 1.6-liter, which has a fuel consumption of 4.4 l/100 km, and acceleration to a hundred takes 10.5 s, the maximum speed is 195 km/h.

How to buy a used Renault Grand Scenic in Ukraine

On specialized aggregator sites and platforms with free ads, you can find many offers for the sale of cars in Kyiv and other cities, but it is quite difficult to choose a valuable option among them. The reason for this is the bad situation with the roads, the low culture of car maintenance, which consists mostly in maximum savings on spare parts and consumables.

In addition, so-called overbuying often hides under the guise of owners. Unlike large official firms, they often misinform buyers for profit and do not take responsibility for their actions.

The result of cooperation with dishonest sellers can be:

• the consequences of road accidents and hastily repaired expensive components and body parts;

• twisted mileage on the odometer;

• problems with documents;

• presence of a car in the bases of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or credit organizations;

• crossed out numbers.

All this can lead to serious financial costs and lost time, and sometimes the car.

As an alternative, you can consider the option of buying a used Renault Grand Scenic in Europe. Cars sold in European countries have a lower price, they are usually in better technical condition, and their history of operation is more transparent. However, the process of buying a car abroad is much more complicated and unusual. The absence of our problems is not completely guaranteed, while new ones may be added to them, for example:

• unclear principle of car registration;

• language barrier in state organizations;

• problems with traveling abroad;

• queues at customs points;

• difficulty in calculating customs fees;

• certification issues.

These factors sometimes force you to abandon the purchase.
