How does it compare?
The Renault Scenic E-Tech EV87 definitely gives its rivals a good run for their electrons. Within the same class, the Hyundai Kona Electric, Volkswagen ID.4, Tesla Model Y, and Ford Mustang Mach-E come head-to-head. Let’s pit them against each other in a showdown of innovation, velocity, and green credentials.
Range
And the distance warrior trophy goes to… drum roll, please—the Renault Scenic E-Tech EV87. With a range clocking in at 560 km (348 miles), it overshadows the Hyundai Kona Electric’s 484 km (301 miles) and the Volkswagen ID.4’s 520 km (323 miles). The Tesla Model Y follows suit with 520 km (323 miles), while the Ford Mustang Mach-E lags a bit at 488 km (303 miles). Clearly, Renault has been busy in the kilowatt kitchen.
Acceleration
If it’s speed you’re after, the Tesla Model Y is your ticket. Going from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.0 seconds, it leaves the Renault Scenic E-Tech EV87, with its leisurely 7.9 seconds, eating its electric dust. The Ford Mustang Mach-E impresses with an 5.1 seconds sprint, while the Hyundai Kona Electric and the Volkswagen ID.4 take a Sunday drive at around 7.6 and 8.5 seconds respectively. So, if you’re hell-bent on speed, there’s no contest.
Power
The horsepower race sees the Tesla Model Y again in pole position with 434 hp (324 kW). The Ford Mustang Mach-E follows closely with 346 hp (258 kW). Now, the Renault Scenic E-Tech EV87 flexes a respectable 218 hp (163 kW), beating the Hyundai Kona Electric’s 201 hp (150 kW) and the Volkswagen ID.4’s 201 hp (150 kW) too. It’s evident that power can come in all shapes and volts.
Charging Time
Charging time can be the Achilles’ heel for some, but not for all. The Renault Scenic E-Tech EV87 takes a commendable 30 minutes to charge to 100 km of range at fast charging stations. The Hyundai Kona Electric follows a snail’s pace needing 47 minutes for a similar boost. Volkswagen ID.4 quickens it up with about 38 minutes while the Ford Mustang Mach-E whittles it down to 45 minutes more or less. Alas, the God of EVs—the Tesla Model Y—zaps you into 260 km (162 miles) within 15 minutes at their Superchargers.
Price
Buckle up for the pricetag revelation! Renault Scenic E-Tech EV87 sneaks in at $46,250 / £35,400 / €42,900, relatively wallet-friendly in this high-voltage race. The Hyundai Kona Electric tags around $39,000 / £29,800 / €36,200. The Volkswagen ID.4 costs a shade lighter at $41,200 / £31,500 / €38,300. The Tesla Model Y burns through $54,990 / £42,100 / €50,700, while the Ford Mustang Mach-E rekindles the flame with $43,895 / £32,950 / €47,850.
