After being spotted in South America last month, the Renault Scenic 2016 has now been spied testing in Europe. The engineering mule in the spy shots courtesy of Auto Express, understandably features the final design. The fourth generation model will be based on the the C/d version of the Renault-Nissan Alliance’ CMF platform. This is the same version of the French-Japanese JV's new modular platform which underpins the Renault Kadjar and the fourth generation Renault Megane.

The 2016 Renault Scenic will likely be available with a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine in the base variant.

The all-new model features the brand's latest design language seen on the fifth-gen Renault Espace, Renault Kadjar, Renault Talisman, and fourth-gen Renault Megane. The interior too, would be similar to that of these models, featuring the new 3-spoke steering wheel, colour head-up display, R-Link 2 infotainment system with an 8.7-inch vertical touchscreen display flanked by vertical HVAC vents. The wider body is expected to significantly improve boot space and shoulder room. The Scenic could also get new storage solutions and improved fit and finish.
