Typical: about 365 miles. Cool (about 6 to 14 °C), mixed driving (town and A-roads, up to about 56 mph). In the 65 published tests in this temperature band (of 201 range tests we use), measured range was usually 71% to 104% of the official figure. Heater use, hills, wind and a loaded car aren't included. How we worked it out.

We don't give a figure for hot weather (28 °C and over) or for speeds above 75 mph: there isn't enough test data.

Towing

Check a caravan or trailer against this version's published towing figures, and see how far you could go. The limits are the maker's figures, not a recommendation.

Towing range, 100% to 10%

125 to 180 miles

Estimated

Solo real-world range 333 miles (the official 392 miles × 0.85, our estimate) less the range loss seen in 25 published real-world towing tests (mostly caravans): 39.3% to 57.3% (10th to 90th percentile).

Sources

That's the usable range from 100% down to 10% (140 to 200 miles to empty). Based on 25 published real-world tests: how we worked it out. Enter your own solo miles per kWh to base it on your driving.

Legal check

The limits below are the maker's published figures for this version. They are not a recommendation: your car's plate and handbook decide what you may tow.

  • Within the braked towing limit of 1,100 kg (150 kg to spare).
  • Above the unbraked limit of 750 kg: the trailer must have its own working brakes (a braked trailer).
  • Check the VIN plate (usually on a door pillar) or your owner's handbook for the nose load limit.
  • Gross train weight limit 3,450 kg: the car as loaded (kerb 1,901 kg + 150 kg people and luggage) plus the trailer comes to 3,001 kg, 449 kg under.

Weight guideline

50% of kerb weight: within the 85% guidelineYour trailer is 50% of this car's kerb weight (1,901 kg). Caravan clubs advise keeping it to about 85% or less, especially for newer tow-car drivers. This is advice, not a legal limit. (Camping and Caravanning Club, Expert Guide to Matching Car and Caravan, checked 12 October 2026)

Licence

If you passed your car test on or after 1 January 1997, you can drive an electric car with a maximum authorised mass (MAM) of up to 4,250 kg and tow a trailer with a MAM of up to 3,500 kg, as long as the car and trailer together are no more than 7,000 kg. If you passed before 1997, you can usually drive a car and trailer up to 8,250 kg MAM combined. (GOV.UK, Driving licence categories, checked 13 October 2026)

Renault Scenic E-Tech questions

What is the Renault Scenic E-Tech towing capacity?

The maker's UK towing limit is 1,100 kg braked for every version we have the maker's figure for. The Long Range 89 kWh 220 hp is 1,100 kg braked and 750 kg unbraked. The VIN plate (usually on a door pillar) or your owner's handbook has the figure for your exact car. See the towing tab.

How long does a Renault Scenic E-Tech take to charge on a 3-pin plug?

About 27 h from 20% to 80% on a 2.3 kW 3-pin cable for the Long Range 89 kWh 220 hp, against about 8 h 23 min on a 7 kW home charger. See the charging times tab.

What is the Renault Scenic E-Tech charging speed?

The Long Range 89 kWh 220 hp takes up to 150 kW on a rapid (DC) charger and 11 kW on AC. We estimate 31 min to 38 min for 10% to 80% on a 150 kW charger: an estimate, so it's a band. See the charging times tab.

What is the Renault Scenic E-Tech towing range with a caravan?

With a 950 kg caravan, expect about 125 to 180 miles from 100% down to 10% in the Long Range 89 kWh 220 hp. That's based on 25 published real-world towing tests, not a maker's figure. See the towing tab.

What is the Renault Scenic E-Tech real-world range in winter?

About 275 to 345 miles from 100% to 0% in cold weather (around 0 °C), against the official 392 miles for the Long Range 89 kWh 220 hp. That's based on published real-world range tests. See the real-world range tab.

How much does a Renault Scenic E-Tech cost to run?

About 9.1p a mile, or £857 for 9,400 miles a year, charging at home at 26.32p per kWh (the Ofgem price cap) and 10% on rapid chargers. A 45 mpg petrol car would cost about £1,665. See the running costs tab.
