Renault’s innovative Scenic has won Interior Design of the Year in the 2006
Wheels Magazine Automotive Design Awards. The Scenic was selected for its
inventive functionality, spacious interior, comfort, storage solutions and
practicality from a field of 14 finalists.
The award, judged by prominent motoring and design authorities, recognises
the Scenic’s innovative interior design which creates a functional and
comfortable space for up to five passengers.
The judges praised the Scenic’s “thoroughness and thoughtfulness of interior
design” and the “orgy of surprise-and-delight features”. According to Ged
Bulmer, editor of Wheels Magazine, “The Scenic possessed innovation, visual
impact and appeal, detail design, control location and clarity.”
The Scenic was designed and manufactured in France and since its launch, over
one million vehicles have been sold world-wide.
The stylish five-seat multi-purpose vehicle is powered by a 2.0-litre
four-cylinder engine and is available with either a six-speed manual or
four-speed automatic gearbox.
The Scenic also offers five-star safety with it’s combination of active and
passive safety features, including dual adaptive front airbags, seat-mounted
side airbags and curtain airbags, plus ABS brakes with brake assist.
Renault Australia’s managing director, Rudi Koenig, believes the award
confirms the Renault’s place as a leader in innovative design.
“The Scenic brings together all of Renault’s experience in packaging and
design to create a very user-friendly vehicle,” said Mr Koenig.
“As the creator of the segment, Renault has a lot of experience in producing
multi-purpose vehicles dating back to the introduction of the Espace people
mover in 1984.
“This award is a further endorsement of Renault’s success in this segment and
confirms our position as a manufacturer of class-leading and innovative
products.”
