The Renault Scenic E-Tech Electric is ”The Car of the
Year” 2024. The award ceremony took place in Geneva on Monday 26 February
2024, and was broadcasted live on the Geneva International Motor Show Youtube
channel, whose team organised the ceremony for the twelfth time.

 The 58-member jury, made up of automotive journalists from
22 countries, selected the winner from seven models that had made it to the
round of finalists in the first voting last November. With the trophy for “The
Car of the Year”, the Renault Scenic E-Tech Electric wins the most prestigious
and coveted award in the automotive world, presented since 1964. “It’s a
brilliant winner. The Renault Scenic E-Tech Electric embodies the transition to
electromobility. It is a very well-designed family vehicle with a moderate
weight, and the choice of two battery capacities is smart to meet the needs of
a wide range of customers.” said the President of the jury of “The Car of the
Year” Søren W. Rasmussen after announcing the results.

Fabrice Cambolive, CEO of Renault Brand, commented: “Winning
the prestigious ‘The Car of the Year’ award is a great source of pride for
everyone at Renault Group and the Renault brand. This recognition demonstrates
that we have made the right choices: record-breaking range, generous and
inviting roominess, all with a closely managed environmental footprint! When
you add in the driving pleasure and ‘voiture à vivre’ equipment such as the new
Solarbay panoramic sunroof or the latest generation OpenR Link system with
integrated Google systems, Scenic has all the right features to shore up its
position on the European EV market…”

As with previous years, the “Car of the Year” 2024
ceremony, which opened the Media Day of the GIMS 2024, was broadcasted live on
the Internet. However, the 2024 edition of the GIMS brings something new.
Sandro Mesquita, CEO of the Geneva International Motor Show, explains: “It
is a joy for us to host the ‘Car of the Year’ ceremony within our walls. Among
the new features we are bringing to our exhibition format for this 91st edition
of the GIMS, ‘The Car of the Year’ will have a stand where the winning car will
be displayed, but also the other six finalists, and this throughout the
duration of the Show. This will give the public the opportunity to compare the
different models that have been submitted to the assessment of the jury of ‘The
Car of The Year’.”
