Test drive by Renault Scenic 2003 - 2009 Minivan

Conqueror

Renault brought to the Russian market a new version of the SCENIC compact van. The modification was called Conquest, which is translated from English means conquest. Under the sight were active young people.


Cars, like people, tend to degenerate. Like Vladimir Semenovich: And this dear man was a good dog before. So the aesthetic Frenchman Renault Scenic suddenly caught up with the conqueror of the crossed terrain. A similar version already existed at the end of the last century on the basis of the previous generation of Scenic. True, then, in addition to the aggressive body kit RX4, the same was called the modification, received all -wheel drive. In our case, we are not talking about this.


In fact, Scenic Conquest is nothing more than a top version of Dynamique with all the attached bonuses: climatic installation, chip card, heated various places. But at the same time, the novelty has several noticeable differences. The interior has become brighter and more elegant. Orange seat belts appeared here, as well as the seats, leather steering wheel and a grip of the handle of the KP. In addition, the funny ornament of the same tint adorns the central console. Such attention to the little things does not leave indifferent.


The circular armor of the plastic body kit protects the Conquest body from branches of trees and low shrubs in the forest. In the city, plastic will save from the carts and doors of neighboring cars in a close parking lot near the supermarket. And thanks to an almost cross -over ground clearance (188 mm) and a 16 -inch wheeled wheels, the car easily climbs to the curbs and moves the roots of trees sticking out of the ground.
 

So, by and large, the freedom of movement limits only the absence of a full drive leading at Conquest the front wheels remained.
