A decade ago, I used to fancy Hatchbacks because they are pocket-sized, applied, and rather efficient. As I move on later in life, Hatchbacks are no longer applied considering they just can't fit everybody inside. While Sedans are more spacious and have a bigger kicking space, they too can only adapt a maximum of 4 passengers and one driver.

This is where MPVs (Multi-Purpose Vehicles) / 7-seater cars have an edge in the automotive scene.

In recent times, It seems to me that there is a surge of people driving MPVs (Multi-Purpose Vehicles) / 7-seater cars and very often, I ask myself this rhetorical question, "How often do all these seats get occupied?". When an airline opens a new road or operates an existing flight, every seat is measured in dollars and cents. Similarly, I oft wonder what is the benefit-toll ratio of driving a 7-seater and what I should be looking out for if I were to buy one.

I have driven and sabbatum in a couple of 7-seaters and they include the Citroen Grand C4 Picasso, Volvo XC40, Toyota Vellfire, Kia Funfair, Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienta, and more recently, the Renault Thou Scenic (Bose Edition). Now, all of them have got its own prepare of pros and cons and in this article, I will be sharing almost my driving experience with the Renault G Scenic (Bose Edition) and what I call back virtually it.

Design

Traditionally, MPVs/seven-seater tend to be rather boxy in shape but in recent times, they have become rounder and more curvy. Even so, if yous were to compare the designs of the different MPVs/7-seater in the marketplace, you lot would find that the continental ones tend to be more stylish and tastefully designed. However, preferences for style and design tin can exist rather subjective because information technology depends very much on the individual.

Is the Renault Thou Breathtaking (Bose Edition) a head-turner? Probably yes but in fact, most MPVs aren't; at least unlike the coupes, convertibles and SUVs. However, the Renault Grand Breathtaking (Bose Edition) does make the commuter feel expert considering of its large profile and it'southward distinct bluecoat at the front.

Stylishly designed and sporting a bold and dynamic appeal with its sculpted lines, hit dual-tone paintwork, sculpted C-shaped LED daytime-running lights and hallmark rear 3D LED Edge Lights, the blueprint of the Renault Grand Scenic (Bose Edition) is definitely one of its kind.

Comfort & Convenience

The Renault M Scenic (Bose Edition) has a couple of features that would make the driving experience very comfortable and convenient.

Some of the features include the handsfree cardinal card with walk-away auto lock, the BOSE premium sound system, the ample number of storage compartments, and the front-row electric memory seats with massage part.

Now, what I actually like about the Renault Grand Scenic (Bose Edition) would be the BOSE premium sound system because it just makes the driving experience feel more upbeat when I leave habitation to work and vice-versa. Having said that, I personally feel that the massage function on the electrical retention seats is quite an overkill unless you take to drive for long hours/long distances to Malaysia on a regular basis.

From a passenger'due south perspective, 1 thing that I dislike about the Renault Grand Scenic (Bose Edition) in terms of comfort would be the last row of seats. They are pretty tight and cram and would probably be more comfortable and suitable for children than adults.

Rubber

The Renault Grand Scenic (Bose Edition) is packed with lots of safety features and that includes the Blind Spot Monitoring System Electronic Stability Command, Anti-Slip Regulation Traction Control, Loma Start Help, vi airbags (forepart, side and curtain), and Isofix child seat and anchorage points.

Though Handsfree Car-Park Assist (perpendicular, parallel and diagonal park assist modes) is also bachelor, I adopt to trust my own sentence (pretty much the same reason why pilots practice have-offs and landings manually) than to rely on the Handsfree Auto-Park Aid.

Driving Performance

The Renault Grand Scenic (Bose Edition) is mated to a ane.5L turbo diesel engine with 260Nm of torque and a 7-speed Efficient Dual Clutch gearbox. Considering of the diesel-powered engine, running costs would definitely exist manner cheaper than a petrol-powered car. Speed pick-up from standstill is a cakewalk simply not so at the higher speed range; hence overtaking and cornering at the start would exist more ideal.

Features

One feature of Renault Grand Scenic (Bose Edition) that I besides like is the retractable total-colour heads upwardly display that displays all the relevant information that I need to know; including current speed, navigation commands, and driving aid instructions. These information are displayed comfortably within my line of sight and tin be adjusted college or lower every bit required.

What I Wish The Renault Yard Scenic (Bose Edition) Would Have

While the Renault Grand Scenic (Bose Edition) packs a agglomeration of features such as a smart sliding heart console, a premium BOSE sound system which consist of 11 speakers and subwoofer, electric forepart seats with massage functions, and many more than; I actually do wish that the 7-seater would accept other wonderful features such every bit an automated power sliding door for the passengers and an automatic open up/close machine kicking/trunk system. After all, most MPVs in the market place accept this added feature.

Overall

The MPV/vii-seater market is a very competitive one and where the Renault Thou Breathtaking (Bose Edition) would stand out is its design and extra mileage per dollar. If design and lower operating costs are at the meridian of your listing, the Renault Yard Scenic (Bose Edition) is a perfect choice.
