Renault discounts its EV range to avoid tax hikes

Renault Scenic Techno Long Range has seen its entry-level price drop by £3,800 - (Renault)

Renault has reacted to recent changes to Vehicle Excise Duty (road tax) with price drops and more kit across its Scenic and Megane range.

With the government’s Expensive Car Supplement hitting cars priced above £40,000, the Renault Scenic Techno Long Range model that was priced at £40,995 now costs £37,195, while the new Techno Esprit Alpine Long Range model with sportier styling also comes in under £40,000 at £39,930, although anything other than standard paint is likely to push that car back into the Expensive Car Supplement bracket.
