Renault takes Parkers New Car Awards 2025 by storm
- 100% electric Renault Scenic E-Tech takes away ‘Car of the Year’ and ‘Best Medium Family Car’ awards.
- Renault Clio wins ‘Best First Car’ award.
- Renault UK itself has won the ‘Best New Car Finance’ award for the fourth consecutive year.
The Renault Scenic E-Tech had a lot to shout about with the release of the latest Parkers New Car Awards 2025. As winner of ‘Car of the Year’ and 'Best Medium Family Car', the Scenic E-Tech triumphed in a level playing field of both ICE and electric vehicles.
Said to offer ‘a combination of value, comfort, driving range and practicality’, the Scenic E-Tech's interior was praised, including the boot space of 545-litres. This expands to a roomy 1,670-litres with the rear bench seat dropped, which is a great offering for its category.
Rear passengers have plenty of room to kick back and relax. With a fully connected infotainment system and quality interior it’s a space you enjoy, even over longer journeys. These will all be a factor in why the Scenic E-Tech also won the ‘Best Medium Family Car’ award too.
To drive, the Scenic E-Tech is deceptively receptive. Whilst it remains comfortable and simple for those wishing to get from A to B, it keeps more engaged drivers interested. This is thanks to the well set up steering feel and brakes. And, of course, nippy electric performance.
The hefty 87kWh is a great choice for the car. Up to 379 miles (WLTP) is promised, and while all range estimations should be taken with a pinch of salt, over at Parkers they say it easily kept more than 300. Even with different driving factors in play.
The Renault Clio has been praised by Parkers as being ‘comfortable, well-built and fun to drive’. A smaller budget and insurance costs are taken into consideration in this category. The Clio beat competitors such as SEAT Ibiza, Suzuki Swift and Skoda Fabia to the ‘Best First Car’ crown.
With a new design and interior upgrade, the latest Clio makes the great deals available all the sweeter.
Adam Wood, Managing Director and Country Head Renault Group UK, said: “To win so many awards from a trusted brand such as Parkers is a fantastic achievement and is yet further proof that Renault’s latest range of vehicles are among the best in the market. Our Renaulution strategy puts great design, innovation and accessibility at the heart of our latest products, such as the Scenic E-Tech 100% electric and our iconic Clio, and we are proud to see growing recognition for our brand.”
As well as offering quality vehicles, Renault offer the best finance options for their customers. Taking the ‘Best New Car Finance’ award for the fourth year in a row, Renault shows they understand their buyers.
Parkers’ Editor, Keith Adams said: “More than any other car manufacturer, Renault understands that car finance needs to be flexible and affordable. So, it offers great zero-rated PCP packages, strong monthly rates, generous dealer contributions and no-deposit deals – and the ability to mix and match.”
