Renault's electric Scenic claims to be the perfect family car and if not, offers a refund to buyers who purchase one and then go on to divorce or dissolve a civil partnership this year, in a first to be offered to car buyers.
Deal offered on the new £37,500 Scenic EV and to cash buyers only
Research from Renault UK looks at the main causes of in-car arguments, with taking the wrong direction and bad driving are revealed as the most common causes in the UK
LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / July 25, 2024 / The French car maker last year launched a new electric Scenic SUV model, which now comes with a very unusual extra breakdown cover, announcing what it calls 'Relationship Breakdown Cover'. A first for car buyers.
Married couples or those in a civil partnership who then go on to break up, post purchasing and delivery of this particular Renault family car, will be offered their money back.
The pledge comes post research in the UK, which highlights the in-car disagreements that couples often have.
So confident are the makers of the Renault Scenic E-Tech 100% Electric that it is, indeed, the perfect family car that they have declared it will bring an end to in-car friction - and has promised owners their money back if they split up after buying one.
The promise is on all retail cash buyers on the new Scenic EV, before the end of 2024.
Research from Renault UK has revealed that over a fifth (21%) of Brits say taking the wrong direction causes the most arguments between them and their partner in the car, followed by 20% who say it is due to the way their partner drives.
In a battle of the sexes each had their own trigger points, women (23%) revealing they are most likely to be irritated by poor navigation than men (19%), and men (20%) by poor driving skills than women (19%).
The Scenic has won numerous acclaims since entering the market, including being the reigning European Car of the Year for 2024. The car features a spacious design, kitted out with the family in mind, including backseat armrests, which holds phones and tablets and keeps them charged. With a large 545 litres of boot space, trim levels that include a massaging driver's seat, a Harman Kardon sound system and the Solarbay® sunroof, activated by voice command, the car will keep everyone in the family happy. And if not… then customers can get their money back!
The Renault Scenic E-Tech 100% electric is available to buy now, priced from £37,495 OTR. For more information on the Renault Scenic E-Tech electric visit: www.renault.co.uk
