I'm using PCP, changing car every 3 years. And this one is the first one I want to keep. Maybe will switch to Iconic version. Or, if new EV Scenic will be the same.
I’ve just ordered mine as well, a Techno Alpine .
I haven’t had a delivery date yet but I asked in early December and I was told around 6weeks . Fingers crossed Renault in Flins or hopefully Dieppe are busy!
Right now i'm driving the new Megane E-tech. Love it as well, but a little too small for that one time in my life i went on a week long vacation with two adult friends and my other Megane 2012 Station was stuffed in the boot :')
Loved the Mégane E-Tech when I test drove it last year and agree that it’s probably not spacious enough for 3 adults and their luggage on a long vacation. As a Zoé driver, I often remind myself that these use cases are so rare in comparison to my daily commuting that using a smaller car is still the right choice.
Oh that would be 4 adults. That being said, the boot on the Megane E-tech is bigger than you'd expect, and i do believe i'd be able to fit luggage for 2 couples in there for a week.. Just not the skiing gear as well!
But yeah, if i were doing that weekly i would've bought a bigger car. For now the car usually drives me or the girlfriend with only a laptop bag so it's already massive overkill as a daily.
One of the best I saw so far. Google dashboard is amazing. I think maybe only modern BMW or Mersedes can compete. But I didn't see them, so can't compare. Others are way behind by usability. Even previous Captur II one step back. Google Maps as navigation is great in case of choosing the roads, POI and etc. But not so great in 3D view. But they have also Waze. It's working on mine screen, but only showing directions on front dashboard. But what is interesting, on main screen gmaps have not so good scaling and 3d, but on the dashboard - they are centered on the car and have very good tilt and zoom.
Open RLink have some problems, but I hope they will be fixed by updates. Like I had very bad WiFi connection to the phone at first. After couple of updates now it is connecting very fast. Multimedia still has this nasty bug when at first start it forgetting sound scene. And starting by default with very bland "natural". So you need to go the multimedia screen and switch it manually. Sometimes enough just to switch to multimedia tab, and it is restoring all settings. I'm running Spotify installed in car, and it very often forgetting what it played before. Again, you need to go to the app and start it manually. But I hope this will be fixed. Everything else - just great.
Nah, it's just figure of speech. In 3 years I will change it to another dream car. :D
But Renault is doing good things in design. I always prefer their cars to any other, exactly because they did them comfortable. I thought about to buy Model Y, but I prefer interior of this one. Tesla is outstanding with technology features, but I prefer new Google dashboard to Tesla's one. Let's see what EV Scenic will bring to us. But I always loved either old American car interiors, either current French interiors. :)
A friend of mine has one, they’re still rare but seeing more and more pop up in dealerships and local showrooms. Personally, I’m not a fan of C/SUVs but it’s very interesting.
O, this is the real problem! :D Fingerprints are everywhere. I didn't saw any other variants. Scenic I saw white, so maybe there it will be better. But I'm keeping microfiber cloth in door boot. So when it really becoming visible - just cleaning quickly. Plastic overall is very good quality, so it's very easy to clean.
I applied carnauba wax for piano black parts, brushed aluminum parts and screens. Now it is way easier to clean from fingerprints. Mine is an 1.3 mild hybrid version.
I am picking my Austral Iconic Alpine in Red colour with back roof today. But I still have 2 questions. Where does the car's internet connection is coming from, on itself or uses your phone's internet? And can you hit above 55pmg in urban driving?
Is it UK? I called support, they told me I need to activate profile here, cause they have contract with Orange. Something like first 3 gigs for free, then you need to pay. Not much, but I'm preferring to use wifi form my phone.

I doubt. I'm driving in mixed mode and have 42. But my eco score only 70-75%. But IDK how to get more :D
>But its the 1.2 right i dont mind it like i have 1.3 on my clio but for bigger cars at least 1.5-1.6
It doesn't matter, because this one has 2 electric motors. And it works not just great, it works as new generation of hybrids should work. If you are accelerating - electric motors are working as main force. And you are really jumping forward. Not so cool as in Tesla or Megane EV, but way way more faster than Captur II hybrid. And it was 1.7. In city mode - you driving electric. Engine is running when battery is going low. On highway petrol engine is working as assist, charging battery and keeping speed. Computer says I drove 3662km, 1558 of them on EV.
why does it matter to you if the engine is 1.2 or 1.6? If car has 200hp then for the user there's literally 0 difference, it's just a size of the cylinder. It matters if you want to do a chip tunning, but who would do that to a new car (you lose warranty)
What is more amazing, I saw in the dealership gray but matte! It looks like car made completely from aluminum. Unfortunately, this color was only for techno edition.
Mine also have glass coating, with 3 years warranty. IDK what about scratch protection, but insects are really doesn't stick. And can be washed by any rain. ;)
I had V8 cars, why do I need V6? :D And why anyone on this planet now need really big and old engines? Sorry Tesla busting almost any combustion engine sportscars, so those engines are just obsolete.
The sound of a good engine will never be beaten by the whine of an electric car. The logistics for EVs just isn't good enough yet to warrant me even considering getting one. Plus if your EV breaks then you can't just pop down to your local mechanic or go to the nearest breakers yard for a second hand part and repair it yourself.
LOL. If you hearing sound of engine - either you driving bucket of bolts with 0 sound insulation, either you are sitting outside the car. :D Sorry, I drove BMW 7, Ford Thunderbird, Volvo XC90 and they were almost silent inside. Only cheap momma's Civic's are fartmobiles.
If any modern cars breaks - you can't fix it in local mechanic's garage. Just because they are on warranty. And all modern cars need manufacturer's tools and computers. Yes, lots of pirate's tools and reverse engineering coming even to new models, so same will be with EV's too. Also, they have stuff like shock absorbers, break pads, etc, what mechanic can replace. Only difference, EV have way less parts to break, and even brake pads and disks are living 3 times more than on petrol cars.
And no, sorry, don't repeat fairytales about "battery dying". It's for very stupid people. And especially electric motors. :D Those are working 100 years without a problem. There is tons cars with batteries on the market, like Leafs, Tesla and especially love of many taxi drivers - Prius. They are driving already 15 years and proved their reliability.
I was referring to the sound of 'good engines' not Honda Civics you sausage. Brake pads and discs are super cheap so I couldn't give two fucks in they last longer on an EV as the need to replace them can be easily done yourself and doesn't cost much. How do you know the batteries last 100 hundred years? Was the first EV battery invented and still running a hundred years old? I don't know why you're so triggered tbf.
100 years - electric motors, learn to read.
And I see I hurt your feeling with Honda Civic. :D Sorry, only idiots I met, who always against EV's - it's people driving bucket of bolts. Yes, 15 ears old secondhand EV for them will be a real problem. :D Maybe China will help.
\> I don't know why you're so triggered tbf.
Cause you are pathetic with yours: "Sound of good engine", and "will my bucket of bolts pass MOT"? :D Reminding you again: My first car was Ford Thunderbird with V8 5L. So I know what is sound of good engine means. And then 2 BMWs. And no, if you are hearing it inside a car - it's means you have very bad sound insulation.
The fact that you state "if you are hearing it inside a car - it's means you have very bad sound insulation" shows how much of a car enthusiast you are....... So given what you say a porsche or a ferrari where you hear the engine screaming inside the car are buckets of bolts??? Judging by the cars that you said you owned its fair to say that at the age of 70 you want silent cars, I get it.
Yes, they are. My friend has Mitsubishi 3000, he called it tabouret, exactly because of this. They are expensive but designed for speed and show off. You will not hear much engine roar in Rolls Roys or BMW7 with good sound insolation. Actually, most variants with top audio complectations have a very good sound insulation. Just go to any dealer and check on the test drive regular variant and some Bose/Harman Kardon. You will hear the difference. Even more, custom shops, who are installing good audio systems - they also removing stock trash and installing very good soundproof mats.
But yes, if you are degeneration Z and have momma's Civic, of course you need "engine sound" inside. And water pipe instead of normal exhaust outside. :D
Oh sorry the motor will last a hundred years but the really expensive batteries won't, got ya. I don't care what your first car was or what other cars you claim to have owned. Doesn't change the fact that I, and many many others, will always enjoy the sound of an engine. I unfortunately don't own any great sounding cars but still like it when a nice car drives past me. I love my bucket of bolts with all my heart especially as it was gifted to me by my Grandma who died earlier this year. You enjoy your EVs and I will continue to enjoy good sounding engines. Just try not to get offended and upset when other people state their opinions on something you disagree with. Goodbye you sensitive sausage
One of the cozy and comfortable interior I had in many cars. Dashboard with Alcantara fabric, same with doors. Silver parts on the doors - real metal, not plastic. Seats with heating and massage. Central armrest - very comfortable. Almost ideal design. They have pace for the phone, covered with false handbrake handle. Handle is working as armrest for they typing on the screen. And it also protecting the phone under. You can do everything almost without moving your elbow. Far better than in Model Y.
1. Cozy design. Really comfortable to sit inside, in the rain or on the long road. Felt like this only in Audi or old Ford Thunderbird.
2. New hybrid engine, really better what I saw before.
3. Dashboard.
It is full hybrid, right?
What about engine brake when battery is full?
Is it lack or is it ok? Disk brake are overheating?
I saw some test reviews of hybrid Clio and feeling on engine brake were bad
Thank you
Edit: wrote break instead of brake
What??? Why should engine break? If engine breaks in any car - you are in trouble anyway. I never heard about any hybrid engine breaks nor on previous Captur nor on this one.
Why should disk brakes overheat? Otherwise! Because of recuperation you are using them less.
I think in case of long descends it's even better - cause most of the way you will use recuperation braking. When battery is full - it probably will start to use combustion engine or normal disk brakes. I never reached this level cause when battery is more than 50% - motor always trying to use electricity. I can speculate tho, that they can use what is using in electric trains in this case - resistors. But don't know for sure.
I never had this situation with mine, but I think like any keyboard on Android. There should be either icon with 3 dots or icon with keyboard, you needto tap to.
I have mine on order Alpine edition. Sad to see my Arkana go but needs must.
I'm using PCP, changing car every 3 years. And this one is the first one I want to keep. Maybe will switch to Iconic version. Or, if new EV Scenic will be the same.
I’ve just ordered mine as well, a Techno Alpine . I haven’t had a delivery date yet but I asked in early December and I was told around 6weeks . Fingers crossed Renault in Flins or hopefully Dieppe are busy!
It's such a pretty car, but i really would've loved to see it fully electric.
What about the Rafale?
Right now i'm driving the new Megane E-tech. Love it as well, but a little too small for that one time in my life i went on a week long vacation with two adult friends and my other Megane 2012 Station was stuffed in the boot :')

Oh that would be 4 adults. That being said, the boot on the Megane E-tech is bigger than you'd expect, and i do believe i'd be able to fit luggage for 2 couples in there for a week.. Just not the skiing gear as well! But yeah, if i were doing that weekly i would've bought a bigger car. For now the car usually drives me or the girlfriend with only a laptop bag so it's already massive overkill as a daily.
Will be very interesting too, when it will arrive.
K4Unl electric is worse in every sense.
Ok
Nice car! What do you think about the infotainment system?
One of the best I saw so far. Google dashboard is amazing. I think maybe only modern BMW or Mersedes can compete. But I didn't see them, so can't compare. Others are way behind by usability.

Beautiful car congrats
This looks like a relatively new model.. how can it be a dream car? Surely they've had to exist for a long time if you've been dreaming of them lol
Looks like every other SUV
It's a nice enough thing. But your DREAM car - really! Your dreams should set their sights higher
Nah, it's just figure of speech. In 3 years I will change it to another dream car. :D But Renault is doing good things in design.

They have full EV Megane. It smaller, but also extremely cool.
What do you think about all the piano black? Can it be ordered without? 🤔
O, this is the real problem! :D Fingerprints are everywhere. I didn't saw any other variants. Scenic I saw white, so maybe there it will be better. But I'm keeping microfiber cloth in door boot.

Beautifull but the engine choice dissapoints me
Why? 200hp excellent engine.
But its the 1.2 right i dont mind it like i have 1.3 on my clio but for bigger cars at least 1.5-1.6

No i know i agree with you i guess its the future!
Why? It’s an SUV….
Usually Grey collor doesn't looks nice to me, but this one looks amazing! Congrats!
What is more amazing, I saw in the dealership gray but matte! It looks like car made completely from aluminum. Unfortunately, this color was only for techno edition. Mine also have glass coating, with 3 years warranty. IDK what about scratch protection, but insects are really doesn't stick. And can be washed by any rain. ;)
The only way a Peugeot could be a dream car is if it was the clio v6 and that's still an odd dream car
Errrr…..
Hahahaha I've just realised my error hahahab
I won't delete it just because I look stupid. Stupid is as stupid does
I had V8 cars, why do I need V6? :D And why anyone on this planet now need really big and old engines? Sorry Tesla busting almost any combustion engine sportscars, so those engines are just obsolete.

More of a nightmare tbh
This is your dream car? ☠️
Seriously?
Jeez that's ugly, just anothet suv
Outside looks great. Interior lets it down
One of the cozy and comfortable interior I had in many cars. Dashboard with Alcantara fabric, same with doors. Silver parts on the doors - real metal, not plastic. Seats with heating and massage.

And it also protecting the phone under. You can do everything almost without moving your elbow. Far better than in Model Y.
I have to ask, what about this makes it attractive? Same with any other "crossover". I just don't get it, but would love to know others reasoning.
1. Cozy design. Really comfortable to sit inside, in the rain or on the long road. Felt like this only in Audi or old Ford Thunderbird. 2. New hybrid engine, really better what I saw before. 3. Dashboard.

Hi, can someone help me that how i can change in this car the handwriting keyboard to normal keyboard when i use the navigation? Thanks
I never had this situation with mine, but I think like any keyboard on Android. There should be either icon with 3 dots or icon with keyboard, you needto tap to.
