Renault Scenic Conquest - Pictures

Subtle styling updates ensure the Scenic Conquest doesn’t stand out from the normal model as much as the Freetrack. And even though it rides 20mm higher, its off-road ability is rather limited.

In the cabin, the differences between the newcomer and the standard Renault are equally small, with orange stitching on the steering wheel and gearlever.

Scenic's rear seat isn’t hampered by a transmission tunnel, so it feels more spacious with three in the back.

With all the chairs out of the way, the Scenic’s boot has a 278-litre advantage over the SEAT.

Family buyers will love the sleep-safe headrest feature, which folds down to help support a snoozing child’s neck.

Storage unit A £250 optional extra on the Scenic, the sliding central cubby provides a handy amount of storage space.

The Renault 1.9-litre unit is much smoother than SEAT diesel but is down on power.
