Notably, the Scénic and Grand Scénic benefit from a colour head-up instrument display, Renault’s unique Multi-Sense system to allow owners to personalise their driving experience and the R-LINK 2 connectivity system via a 8.7-inch portrait display that is the largest in the segment. The retractable full-colour head-up display enhances driving comfort and safety by making driving aids (ADAS) easier to use. Without the driver needing to take his or her eyes off the road, the screen displays all relevant information (current speed, navigation instructions, driving aids) to ensure a relaxed driving experience. R-LINK 2 is the control centre which gives access to the car’s technologies, allowing easy activation and deactivation of the majority of functions, including driving aids and climate control management. Unique in the compact MPV segment, R-LINK 2 has an easy-to-use ‘pinch and zoom’ screen, much like that of a smartphone or tablet computer, while it also includes voice recognition for the navigation system, telephone use, apps and radio. R-LINK 2 can be personalised to users with the choice of three configurable home pages and six different profiles, which allow swift access to pre-set driving settings and in-car ambience preferences. Continuing the Scénic range’s ability to offer technology that is rarely seen in its segment, BOSE® Surround Sound audio is also available. Tailored to the dimensions of the vehicle, the system includes 11 high-powered loudspeakers spread around the cabin that allow all occupants to enjoy an exceptional, immersive audio experience. 88 Multi-Sense® Scénic is available with Multi-Sense technology, allowing owners to personalise Sport, Comfort, Perso and Eco.
