Reviewing snapshots from the past helps us understand where evolution is taking us, especially when future decisions are on the line. So Renault had an excellent idea for the preview of the Sc\u00e9nic Vision in Paris last May, when it stood its historic 1991 Sc\u00e9nic Concept at the entrance. A revolutionary project that we are delighted to have another look at \u2013 is it really more than thirty years ago? \u2013 in those features where it was ahead of its time, such as that special focus on passengers that made it a symbol of Renault’s ‘voiture \u00e0 vivre’.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\nWe enter the studio and find ourselves in another time dimension, back to the near future. The Sc\u00e9nic Vision presented to us by Laurens van den Acker, the Renault Group\u2019s head of Design, is an expression of the three pillars on which the company led by CEO Luca De Meo plans to base all its projects: sustainability, safety and inclusion. And design is certainly no exception.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\nVan den Acker explains: \u201cWe chose an iconic name from our history because the car\u2019s ambition is to change the lives of the people on board for the better. The context has changed completely, however. Our vehicles are becoming more and more technological, and we want the design of this environmentally-friendly vehicle for today’s family to show this”.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\nThe Sc\u00e9nic Vision’s dual soul is built on the dichotomy between exterior and interior. The muscular body heralds the features of an all-electric model that will come to market in 2024 and is an expression of Sensual Tech, the formal language defined by the Renault brand\u2019s new design chief Gilles Vidal and his team. \u201cThe interior, on the other hand, looks even further ahead. It is a research laboratory not only in terms of styling, but in terms of materials and how we intend to interact with the vehicle”, adds Van den Acker.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
