Renault has unveiled a new Scenic Vision concept, offering us a glimpse into what future compact MPVs could look like.
Designed for tomorrow
In this future, recyclability is all the rage. Renault claims that 70 per cent of the total mass of the Scenic Vision is made from renewable and recyclable materials. And, 95 per cent of the materials (battery included) are reusable, recoverable and/or recyclable.
But there’s more in this innovative look to tomorrow. Because the Renault Scenic Vision is also powered by hydrogen.<img alt="" data-caption="Rear-hinged "suicide" doors and no B-pillars offer passengers easy ingress and egress.

So, you get both the benefit of being able to top up your car while sleeping at home, as well as the ability to fill up with hydrogen in as little as five minutes on longer drives.
Its powertrain may be a little far out, but the design of this Renault Scenic Vision certainly is not. Renault says we can expect a similar looking C-segment family-oriented vehicle to adopt the same design touches seen here.
There’s not much to complain about, with the car sporting a variety of sculpted surfaces, all converging in a dynamic fashion to hide the otherwise bulbous shape that has come to define the segment.
Family-oriented compact
To enter the Renault Scenic Vision, you touch the Renault logo on the faux B-pillar and are invited to step into the cabin via the rear suicide doors. It’s similar to a Rolls-Royce Phantom.<img alt="" data-caption="There' s a total of ten widget screens for driver and passenger to make cabin setting changes.

Renault Scenic Vision: Inside the Soul of the Car
Get ready for a cabin that knows how to bend to your body. The Scenic Vision lifts the whole cockpit, sliding seats back to give everyone—driver, passengers, even the wheelchair—maximum room to breathe and stretch.
One Seat, Two Minds
The driver’s chair isn’t just a seat—it’s a wrap‑around fortress that keeps the driver glued to the road. Think of it as a cozy hug that also whispers, “stay sharp!” Meanwhile, passengers get a comfort‑first throne that turns each drive into a mini cabin‑trip.
Dashboard: The Scenic View Window
As a front passenger, you’ll notice how sleek and thin the dashboard feels. It’s designed to keep the front seat’s vibe pure—a minimalist canvas that ensures the driver gets the best possible panoramic view of the asphalt.
Key Highlights (in One Quick Scroll)
- Seats that move back on command—think air‑bending for your legs.
- Driver’s wrap‑around seat: snug, focused, road‑ready.
- Passenger seats: plush comfort for the long haul.
- Sleek, thin dashboard gives the driver an unobstructed scenic view.
- Instantly custom‑fits every body shape as soon as the journey begins.
Bottom line: When you step into the Scenic Vision, it’s not just a car, it’s a personal concierge that rolls out the blue carpet for your drive, with a dash of style so you can brag about the “most scenic view” everyone hears from the front seat.
The infotainment system offers a total of ten widget screens. These are all configurable, and allow passengers to control functions such as music, climate and interior lighting.
