The RENAULT SCENIC (1999-04) RX4 5DR MPV 2.0 16V MONACO is a family-sized compact MPV with a tougher, raised-up look than an ordinary Scenic. It sits between conventional people carriers and early small SUVs, offering five-door practicality and a more adventurous image without becoming a large off-roader. In the UK used-car market, it is now an older, distinctive choice rather than a mainstream family runabout. Its roomy cabin and flexible layout make the RX4 useful for family trips, shopping and everyday commuting, especially for buyers who like a higher stance and extra visual ruggedness. The 2.0-litre petrol engine gives it a more relaxed feel than basic small-engined MPVs, though running costs may be higher than those of economical rivals. Its unusual blend of people-carrier space and SUV-inspired styling is its main talking point.
