About Renault Scenic
Renault looked to expand its vehicle range and developed the Scenic RX4 as a unique AWD minivan for the European market, together with an off-road specialist company.
While the Scenic was a sales-winner in its MPV segment, the French carmaker was a newbie in the off-road or SUV segment. Apart from some all-wheel-drive vehicles built in the past and the special military trucks, it had no expertise. After joining the Renault-Nissan Alliance, the French carmaker dropped the RX4 from its lineup, helping Nissan sells more X-Trails. (Auto Evolution)
