Renault Scenic vs Skoda Enyaq: Two SUVs at €35,000

The standoff intensifies between the Renault Scenic and the Skoda Enyaq. Their entry-level versions compete starting at €35,135 for the Czech model.

This is a battle between two European icons on the market. The already established and popular Skoda Enyaq in its 60 version and the newcomer Renault Scenic with the 170 hp Comfort range. Dimensions, battery capacity, performance, and pricing—it’s almost like a simple copy-paste comparison.

Ultimately, the French SUV’s greatest feat lies in its weight, which is 338 kg less than its rival. A figure that particularly resonates in terms of range, with a 34 km difference.

For the rest, the Skoda offers a slightly more comfortable top speed in terms of active safety, as well as a subtly larger trunk. But that’s still an advantage for a family vehicle.

Conclusion

What a surprise! The Skoda Enyaq is not as outpaced as one might think despite the years gone by. Exceptionally well built, generously equipped, and offering interesting dynamic performance, the Czech electric SUV stands out notably for its 11 kW onboard charger. Practical for quick charging at home, at the office, at restaurants, supermarkets, etc.

A bit cheaper as well (-€855), it deserves victory here over the entry-level Renault Scenic which is somewhat sparse on equipment.
