Peugeot E-3008 vs Renault Scenic. Who makes the better family SUV? | Electrifying

[@mdshovel]

Hardly anyone mentions safety... the Renault Scenic has a master cut-off and a plug in for a fire-hose to flood the INSIDE of the battery with cold water .. plus has a QR on front & rear screens for emergency services. Who else does that? Then there is the "bongs" .... when set-up with what you want ... a single button switches off ALL the bings and bongs, all the EU legal stuff ... oh the joy ! After leasing a Volvo XC40 Twin EV for 3 years and test driving everything else that is realistically available ... the Scenic wins hands down ... had mine for 2.5 weeks now AND, it is the only modern car I've driven in the last 10 years that I can drive around with the window down without air pressure hammering. I never thought I'd have a Volvo and certainly never thought I'd have a Renault. Ordered, built and delivered to me in UK inside 6 weeks !!

[@DILINGER0]

And Renault bigger battery is formed by 2 or 3 independent modules, I don't remember. So it will be far cheaper to replace if is needed.

[@Colt16v]

Guess you didn´t try out the Xpeng G6. Costs less, got more, faster, RWD, 280kw charging, ventilated seats and far superior warranty.

[@jamesardron]

I personally didn’t enjoy the scenic drive. We test drove it the other week and the visibility didn’t seem great and the front passenger seat being sloped is strange

Afternoon and I'd say the Renault Scenic looks better

[@richgl31]

Far better in my opinion. The rear of the Peugeot especially is not great. Telling that the designer at Renault was at Peugeot previously. Maybe they have lost their way now with design language…

[@manmac80]

I tested both and took the Scenic. For me the Peugeot has the better design on the outside, but the Scenic is much better designed on the inside and has much more space (front, back, boot), plus the better range. And at the end Renault offers the better price (the 3008 costs nearly 10 000 Francs more in Switzerland)

[@Tom-je8cr]

If you wait the 3008 has lot more range that the scenic

[@jongershon9492]

I have owned the e3008 for three weeks now, the trick with the boot is one kick in the middle, and the key must be outside with you, it won't work with the key inside the car or more than 2ft away from the rear, it's opened and shut first time every time for me. Also take out the bottom shelf in the boot and it becomes much bigger than the scenic, I have put my cables in a hard case so it keeps them out of the way. It's 11kw slow charge as standard but can be like mine upgraded to 22kw. At 6”3 I found the seats in the Peugeot bigger and more comfortable. As for kWh performance so far 4.7kwh average on 1600 miles that's 343 miles on a 100% battery so better than the claimed range. These cars are not designed or built to be rockets, but drive them smoothly and you can't go wrong, much nicer than any ice car I have owned.yes it's pricey at near 50k but 2 years ago you would have had to have paid almost double the price for that sort of range in EV cars, idiots like me are the guinea pigs who drive the technology now so it becomes cheaper in the future and at this rate I would expect to see 400 mile range cars available for under 40k in less than 3 years. Both cars will be a force in the ev car market, if you tried to get a BMW or Merc or Audi with the same top end spec then you are looking at 65k +

[@milorinconcalvo1055]

[@oliverstemp9132]

The Scenic is better built and more spacious. I think it’s the Scenic or the Explorer.

[@AhhGeeProductions]

We need to see this segment drop into the 35-39k range to avoid the very unfair luxury tax band.. Renault are onto a winner with design, range, battery etc.. but the price will keep families away.

[@ashliehiggins]

Because of that if you like the Scenic, just get the Austral as even top spec with an actual colour it's under that £40k threshold.

[@sIightIybored]

It's not unfair, it's collecting tax from the people who can afford it that buy over expensive cars.

[@ianbailey509]

Weird how the Peugeot is slightly longer yet somehow manages to have a smaller boot and less rear seat legroom than the Renault and have a bigger battery yet a shorter range AND be quite a bit more expensive yet not have an all important heat pump as standard. The Renault for me then. Oh and I must say I loved Nicola's Hokey Cokey when attempting to open the boot….

[@Vxvx22]

The Renault has a longer wheelbase (distance between front and rear wheel), even though Renault has a shorter overall length. That's why Renault has better rear seat room.

[@timaustin2000]

Sorry but the Peugeot is so overpriced it's not even funny. What are Stellantis thinking at the moment? It's like they WANT to lose all their sales to the Chinese!

[@bmctoonz]

I've test drove both vehicles and confirm the renault scenic is a far better car. I currently drive a peugeot 2008 and the interior is the same size as the new 3008. My children had little to no room at the back whereas the scenic was very spacious and has so much leg room. Driving the peugeot ride was far to bouncy. Scene drove very smoothly. I'm ordering my renault scenic e-tech at the end of the month.

[@oliverstemp9132]

This is important, the new 3008 is so cramped inside it’s basically another 2008.

[@bmctoonz]

@oliverstemp9132 yeah! I was surprised that the cabin size was practically identical in size. I would go as far to say there is slightly more room in the back of the 2008. Such a wasted opportunity from peugeot.

[@dommahon191]

[@bmctoonz]

@@dommahon191 fantastic. I'm putting in my order next week.

[@Tradewind25]

I’ve yet to use one, but I don’t see why you are so against digital rear view mirrors. The rear screen in the Scenic looks to be about the size of a large letterbox, with the view becoming even worse with passengers sitting in the back. Surely a camera which gives you a much fuller view to the rear is infinitely safer?

[@richardpiper4828]

The Renault is far better value and IMHO much better looking. The height of the 3008 makes it look very dumpy. I also don’t understand why Peugeot have labelled it the 3008 when it is a segment size up from the old model. Add in the standard Google operating system and to me it is no contest. Renault feels a thoroughly thought through innovate EV whilst the Peugeot is a design that a legacy auto maker thinks makes a good EV.

[@stphnwheeler]

A highly informative and entertaining video! More with you both comparing products please! I'd go for the Scenic over the e3008 any day. The Scenic looks more classy, and appears more functional.

There is one in my opinion major error in the comparison overview you made at the beginning of the video: the Scenic can charge 22kW AC, which is an almost unique feature in AC charging. It’s not 7kW only.

[@AppleUK2000]

Definitely prefer the Peugeot 3008, more alluring design and feels more premium. But either way you can't go wrong with a French car!

Front wheel drive is what puts me off them both. Right now you can lease an AWD Nissan Ariya or a RWD Mustang Mach-Efor less than both of these, which feel like better options to me. That said, I love the armrest and the roof in the Scenic.

[@markymarkreviews]

Bit iffy with the microphones at the beginning and parts looked very under-exposed with the e-3008 interior segments. Apart from that the Renault looks stunning for a large SUV/MPV and the cabin is great. Pug also nice looking but quite as nice but stylish interior. Just a shame that all cars are way too expensive now and these fall in to the higher luxury tax bands from next year, so both manufacturers are going to have a very steep uphill battle in selling these, unless the finance deals are incredible.

You two ladies re a brilliant double act! Stellantis are so much more expensive. I don't like the Fisher Price steering wheel, but its too expensive anyway I'd have the scenic, shame they can't get the Long Range Techno list price under £40K, which will probably make the Road Tax, or whatever they call it, very expensive from April

[@flo_h_96]

I personally like the design of the Scenic more. Also its price is way better and it's more practical. It also has the best infotainment system on the market right now, no need for CarPlay or Android Auto. Also 22 kW AC charging is a big advantage which by the way was a small mistake in the video where it said 7kW. Then the driving assists in the Renault are one of the best maybe not with the most functions, but extremely reliable. And the sounds it makes are so nice that you don't even need to turn them off bc they won't annoy you, but you still can turn them of with one button if you like to. What was missing in the video was how much less range the Peugeot had. Would have been interesting for comparison. I've heard that it's possible to drive the scenic extremely efficient, so I don't know why range was that much lower. Only on motorways it isn't that efficient which is due to the design not being made for best aerodynamic. But that's the same for the Peugeot that's why it would have been interesting how the consumption on that car is. But still a great comparison with lots of useful information and fun to watch

I enjoyed the review but did not like pricing somewhere between £46k and £52k for these things on the road. I cannot help thinking to hell with the kids wouldn’t a Mini ALL4, Smart Brabus #3, or Alfa Romeo Junior Veloce just be so much nicer and more fun. Perhaps a roof rack for the kids; saves so much mess and the dogs would still be comfy in the back.

[@Jaw0lf]

These cars need a model under that magical £40,000. Both of these would add the luxury car tax. Out of the two cars the cheaper Scenic seems to have the interior space as well as design. That is more important for day to day living with the car.

[@GlassActivist]

Also, the windshield wipers are the loudest of any car I've ever used and the brake pedal is excessively grabby. The wiper sound is from the motors, so no change of wipers will affect it. The sound system below the iconic is mediocre at best, so make sure you listen to your trim before buying.

[@Anashere_Narrnda]

i can understand the price difference between the two as Peugeot in the last few years is considered by many as a higher class brand than Renault,the French Audi for me the scenic if more practical but that's it the 3008 looks and feels much more premium and special both inside and out and that's the car i want to be sat in

[@DuctTapeAdvisor]

The only thing goes against Renault is ground clearance, and this is crucial for regions with 4 - 5 months of snow every year. Those frozen hard ice rocks on roads carry a punch, and if your horoscope isn't in your favor then your car battery might be on receiving end.

[@sharonec5419]

That space underneath the top small touch screen in the Peugeot will be a dust collector and very awkward to clean. I don't envey anyone doing that. Honestly , what were Peugeot thinking, designing that touch screen. It looks all wrong and too small. The 3008 before this had a much nicer and classier interior. The small steering wheel just does not work with touchscreens right at all. The Renault Scenics dash is much classier and nicer.

[@FéargalO]

Think the Peugeot looks much better on the outside but Scenic wins inside. The Scenic is not very efficient though..check out fully charged review. The Peugeot like all recent Peugeots still has the steering wheel issue so you may find you only get a limited view of the dash so test drive is a must.

[@MykolaDzham]

I wonder what many reviewers consider to be a "family car". What are requirements to be a "family car"? Just to be "not a sports car"? For me it means that there are two kids in the second row a lot of the time. And that dictates several things. For example just put two child seats into IsoFix on both sides of the second row and then try to seat in between. You can't? Congrats: you have 4.5 seater, not 5 seater family car. Then yes, big boot. And an underfloor storage doesn't count: it useless as you either have empty boot and then it doesn't matter, or you have a lot of stuff in the boot and then you have to take it all out to access the underfloor storage. And then many small but nice to have things: many places for various small items, cupholders in the second row, curtains on windows, folding tables etc.
