 Motomodif: The 5-seater version of the French people confirms the quality of the elder sister with spaces smaller steering sedan
Renault Scenic Mod-X - Test Drive. For a decade is one of the Scenic compact people carriers preferred by the Europeans with its 3.3 million units sold. Scenic is now split, and the next version to 7 places that we have already had occasion to try some time ago, here's the new X-Mod, a complicated name to indicate the model with 5 seats, the size more compact and more from youth . The design is inspired by the sedan, particularly the front lines, which incorporates the Megane Coupè, overall, the style is called "German" for the strength that speaks with rounded fenders, solid shoulders, wide roadways, enhancing materials and assembly quality.
About spaces and dimensions, Scenic X-Mod provides comfort on board bulk content but with its 4.34 meter length. The increase in the step (2702 mm, 20 mm in more than Scenic II) improves the comfort of passengers in the second row by a knee "best in class" in the category that allows 5 adults to travel comfortably. Improved vision with a horizontal viewing angle increased by 8% while the viewing angle increases from 15%. Speaking of people, is of considerable importance that the luggage compartment has a volume of 522 dm3, a lowered threshold load (602mm) and a wide opening (1902 mm). In addition, the carrier is 86 liters disponibilialtri distributed among various holder.
The petrol engines are a 1.6 16v 110 hp (at Landi Renzo LPG) and the innovative 1.4 TCE 130 horses. The diesel, however, the 1.5 dCi 105 hp, the 1.5 dCi 110 with FAP (the subject of our test), the 1.9 dCi FAP 130 hp and 160 hp 2.0 when combined with manual transmission or 150 if the Proactive.
Road test
Already come inside the X-Mod Scenic ne finds the soul devoted to the comfort, the height of the seat is not having enough to hang too much and is obviously at hand all the necessary adjustments allowing a comfortable position for the more senior drivers. Interiors are treated with finishing and excellent level of almost self-class that characterized the preparation Luxe car that we had supplied. Perhaps a little 'retro bezel setting and the climate control but it can not stone.
The 1.5 dCi 110 horses do not feel in the cabin, past sins of Renault models where the noise of the propeller diesel was all too present. Proposed two-step power from 105 horses and 110 in the first of these contains the Co2 emissions by 130 g / km, and thus eligible for state incentives. The dCi 110 with particulate filter has a pair of 240 Nm at 1750 rpm, with combined consumption of 5.1 l/100 km. In regard to operating costs is at the highest level of the class: change oil every 30 thousand km and replacing the filter every oil 60mila. Filter guaranteed for life and distribution belt be replaced every 160mila km.
About the merits and defects, we found a little 'sharp pedals for brake and clutch, the first tends to give back so much and suffered while the second is used with precision. Among the plus, however, there was almost no roll, "the smaller category of people, similar to that of a saloon," as stated in the release. In the first curve you are instinctively put in a position to react to the lateral resistance of typical people the car and driving cars to high in general; futile effort from the low lateral acceleration.
The steering is precise, thanks to the adoption of a new compressor developed for the new Megane and adopted also by the X-Mod, which also improves the responsiveness of the maneuver.
To touch it with your hand and try it on the road we must wait for the weekend hours of open ports in Renault dealerships planned for 20 and September 21.
