    Renault has confirmed UK pricing and specification for the facelifted Scenic line-up, including the rugged new XMOD.

    With prices starting from £17,955 the French brand has taken the aggressive step of pricing the new XMOD the same as the equivalent standard Scenic, despite its higher equipment levels and Grip Xtend traction control system.

    Keeping things simple both the Scenic and Grand Scenic are available in a single trim level - Dynamique TomTom. This includes, as the name suggests, sat nav but also 16-inch alloy wheels, dual zone climate control and rear parking sensors. Renault has also confirmed the seven packs will be available as options – including BOSE+ Pack (available on Scenic XMOD and Grand Scenic) which  costs £1,500. Among the features within the other six are a rear parking camera with front parking sensors, Renault’s Visio System lane departure warning with automatic high and low beam, five fully adaptable headrests, dark carbon leather and a sliding centre console.

    The new Scenic XMOD comes with a choice of two trims – an entry level Expression+ and Dynamique TomTom. Expression+ customers can expect 16-inch ‘Tundra’ alloys or ‘Frontier’ design wheels with Grip Xtend and mud and snow tyres, Hill Start Assist. While Dynamique TomTom adds dual zone climate control, auto lights and wipers and Carminat TomTom ‘Live’ sat nav.

    The XMOD is the first Renault to feature its new Grip Xtend system. Using a rotary switch, users can select this traction control system to enable the car to grip the road confidently in difficult driving conditions. The driver can select from three available modes – road, loose ground and expert – all pretty explanatory. When in ‘Expert’ mode, Grip Xtend takes control of the braking system, while leaving the driver in full control of the engine torque. The ‘Loose Ground’ mode optimises braking control and engine torque control as a function of available grip up to 25 mph. At speeds over 25mph, road mode automatically kicks in which controls torque and distributes power to the wheel with the best traction.

    A total of five engines have been available across the range. Three petrol: 1.6 VVT 110, 1.2 TCe 115 Stop & Start and 1.2 TCe 130 Stop & Start. Plus, two diesel: 1.5 dCi 110 Stop & Start & 1.6 dCi 130 Stop & Start. One version of Scenic XMOD Expression+ also has the 1.5 dCi 110 available without Stop & Start. The new TCe 130 Stop & Start engine boasts a 15 per cent improvement on fuel consumption over the previous TCe 130 unit, while the 1.5 dCi 110 Stop & Start, expected to be the biggest seller, is capable of 68.9mpg on the combined cycle with emissions of only 105g/km.
