Our Dutch road trip in a Renault Scenic packed with people: Windmills, tulips & EV reality check

Video Description

We took the electric Renault Scenic E-tech on a full family road trip from the UK to the Netherlands — with five people on board, a fully loaded boot, and high expectations. The original Scenic was famous for its three full-size rear seats, so how does this new SUV-style Scenic compare when you actually fill it with real humans and luggage? From windmills and tulips to Amsterdam, Keukenhof and lakeside Loosdrecht, we spent a week testing how practical, comfortable and efficient the Scenic really is as a modern family EV. In this video: • Le Shuttle crossing • Keukenhof tulip gardens • Amsterdam highlights • Windmills, clogs & classic Dutch sights • Real-world efficiency, comfort & storage • Final thoughts on the Scenic as a long-distance family EV Since we filmed this, the Scenic is now quite a lot cheaper. The "Iconic" we tested here was £46,745 (with the metallic paint) but the new MY26 Scenic "Iconic Esprit" is now £40,495 (metallic paint no longer costs extra). The Scenic range now starts at £35,495. 🏠 Here's the place we stayed in Loosdrecht, The Netherlands: https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/42831607 Chapters: 00:00 Intro 01:05 Leaving home 02:15 Conningbrook Hotel, Ashford 05:02 Le Shuttle 09:05 Charging at Circle K, Jabbeke 11:03 Loosdrecht 13:19 Keukenhof 19:50 CarPlay and Bluetooth audio issues 22:14 Seeing friends in Doorwerth 27:42 How clogs are made 30:37 Windmills 34:10 Amsterdam 43:06 Albert Cuyp Market 47:18 Van Gogh Museum 48:38 Paskamer winebar 51:23 Wine and cheese cruise 56:26 Charging at evpoint, Kruibeke, Belgium 59:50 Scenic thoughts 1:08:13 Canterbury 1:09:20 Il Posticino, Canterbury 1:11:06 Home and final thoughts on the Scenic — ⭐️ Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCA5ITWgwaUsdwcFEEnh2WTw/join ☕️ Or if you'd like to just buy me a coffee (or my wife a gin and tonic): https://ko-fi.com/misterev Please use my referral links: ☀️ Heatable solar installations: £150 off — https://misterev.co.uk/solar (or quote MISTEREV150) 🔋 Heatable battery installations: £75 off — https://misterev.co.uk/battery (or quote MISTEREV75) 🐙 Octopus Energy: £50 off — https://misterev.co.uk/octopus ⚡️ Octopus Electroverse: £5 credit — https://misterev.co.uk/electroverse 📹 Filmed using DJI Osmo Pocket 3: https://amzn.to/40bhP35 and iPhone 16 Pro: https://amzn.to/4aJpOJV
