Renault Scenic Review

Safety and Security4 out of 5

The Scenic scored four stars in the Euro NCAP crash tests, good for a design this old. Twin front and side airbags are standard on all models, and all have standard-fit anti-lock brakes. An immobiliser is standard; annoyingly, it sets itself after a short time even if the car is unlocked. The centre rear seat has its own shoulder strap, which retracts neatly into the roof.
