The Renault Scenic E-Tech 100% electric has topped the EcoCar Electrified Top 50 Awards, beating every other currently available electric car, hybrid and plug-in hybrid to the title of '2024 EcoCar Electrified Car of the Year'.

As well as taking the number one position in the top 50 electrified cars listing to win the Awards' most prestigious accolade, the distinctive, pure-electric crossover also won the 'Best Medium SUV' category.

Ian Robertson, Editor and Publisher of Diesel&EcoCar, which organises the annual awards, explained why the magazine deemed the Scenic E-Tech 100% electric to be the best electrified new car on the market: "Renault has reinvented its Scenic for 2024 and what a transformation it is. Instead of an MPV, the Scenic is now a stylish family five-seater that's gently morphed into an SUV with very contemporary looks. Not only that, but it is also all change under the skin with a wholesome move to a pure electric E-Tech powertrain that offers an impressive range.

"The modern features don't end when you hop inside, because the Scenic boasts one of the best interiors we've ever seen in a Renault model. The use of sustainable fabric materials around the cabin adds to the plush ambience and there's oodles of space. We also found the Android-based operating system responsive and easy to use, with lots of familiar smartphone-style apps that make it a joy to operate."

Guillaume Sicard, Managing Director Renault UK, said:

"This latest award for the Scenic E-Tech 100% electric is a superb illustration of the excellent usability and unrivalled package that it offers modern families, not only surpassing all other pure electric vehicles currently on sale, but also those that have a hybrid or plug-in hybrid powertrain. As the judges have recognised, it is the best new electrified car available today."

The Scenic E-Tech 100% electric was not the only Renault to win at the awards, the Renault Clio E-Tech full hybrid being named the 'Best Hybrid Small Car'.

The judges were also hugely impressed by the electrified Clio, Ian Robertson adding: "The Clio is our favourite small hybrid and supermini, and compared to the opposition, it's not even a close fight. The French model looks more handsome than ever inside and out, it's packed with technology and it comes with a full hybrid powertrain that puts the hardware in some larger cars to shame."
