Renault: innovation serving the family
At the turn of the millennium, Renault experienced a period of creative renaissance under the leadership of Patrick le Quément, Design Director. The diamond-shaped brand relied on aesthetic boldness and technical innovation to stand out from the European competition. The Scénic perfectly embodies this philosophy, combining avant-garde design with innovative practical solutions.
Renault's history, rich in more than a century of innovation, finds one of its most accomplished expressions in the Scénic. Since the company was founded by the Renault brothers in 1899, the French brand has continued to shake up automotive conventions . From the Marne taxis to the Twingo, including the 4CV and the R5, Renault has always been able to anticipate the mobility needs of its time.
This capacity for innovation reached its peak in the 1990s and 2000s, a period when the brand enjoyed a string of successes with models as iconic as the Clio , the Mégane and, of course, the Scénic. This golden era consolidated Renault's position as a global benchmark for family cars .
A revolution born from a bold concept
The story of the Scénic begins with a bold gamble by Patrick le Quément and his team of designers. In 1991, at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Renault presented the Scénic concept car, a vehicle with revolutionary lines that challenged all the aesthetic codes of the time. With its panoramic windows, modular seats, and futuristic design, this prototype initially aroused perplexity, even skepticism.
Yet this avant-garde vision responded to a profound societal shift. European families were looking for more spacious, more practical vehicles, but without sacrificing driving pleasure. The production Scénic, launched in 1996, retained much of the concept's boldness while incorporating the constraints of mass production. Its immediate success demonstrated the soundness of this visionary approach.
The RX4 version takes this innovative approach even further. By adding all-wheel drive and reinforcing the vehicle's adventurous nature, Renault anticipated the crossover craze that would dominate the automotive market for decades to come. This technical foresight makes the Scénic RX4 a little-known precursor to today's compact SUVs.
The most memorable anecdote remains that of the internal presentation of the project at Renault. Louis Schweitzer, then CEO, is said to have declared: "If this vehicle doesn't sell, we will at least have tried something extraordinary." This philosophy of creative risk, so characteristic of the Renault spirit, would transform a bold gamble into a resounding commercial success , with more than 3 million units sold for the first generation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
