Parkers New Car Awards 2025 awarded to Renault Scenic
The Renault Scenic E-Tech Electric has earned double honours at the , being awarded the ‘Parkers Car of the Year’ and ‘Best First Car in the Medium Family Car’ category.
Now in its eighth year, the Parkers New Car Awards reflect the ever-changing preferences of Britain’s car-buying public. Winners are chosen through a combination of expert reviews and the purchasing trends of the 2.3 million users actively engaged on the Parkers website, one of the UK’s biggest new-car buying and advice website.
Luke Wilkinson, Deputy Editor of Parkers, said: “For car enthusiasts, it has a big dash of old-school Renault va-va-voom, with enough spirit in its dynamic DNA to provide a decent amount of fun for keen drivers.â€�Â
Keith Adams, Editor of Parkers, said: “I’ve owned several Scenics over the years and loved them all. This one continues that winning streak by bristling with clever, family-friendly tech and lots of storage solutions in an electric family car that delivers all the benefits of plug-in driving and zero ownership dramas.â€�Â
Reflecting the march of EVs, other category winners of note are the Kia EV9, Hyundai Ioniq 5N, Volkswagen ID.7, BMW i4 and i7. These all join the Scenic E-Tech as electric winners on our level playing field. Electric cars don’t have their own categories in our awards, so must be true class leaders to win on their own merit. These all do that and outnumber the combustion-powered cars for the first time.
Keith Adams said: “Electrification is a hot topic right now, with lots of hostile media outlets sharing doom-and-gloom stories. But our rewards tell their own story, with more EVs taking prizes than ICE cars. The reality is that EVs are becoming viable for an increasing number of buyers, who are in the lucky position to have home or workplace charging to back up the rapidly improving public rapid charger network.â€�Â
