The RENAULT SCENIC (2003-09) 5DR MPV 1.5 DCI 106 OASIS is a compact five-door family MPV: taller and more flexible than a conventional hatchback, but easier to park than a large people carrier. It was aimed at practical-minded UK buyers wanting useful space without moving up to a van-sized vehicle. The 1.5-litre diesel’s 106-horsepower output suits everyday journeys, from school runs and shopping to commuting and family holidays; the Scenic’s roomy cabin and versatile layout are its main appeal. Compared with rivals such as the Vauxhall Zafira and Ford C-MAX, it offers the familiar compact-MPV mix of passenger space and manageable size.
