Renault Wants To Make Your Life Easier By Simplifying Its Trim Range

Choosing the right car can, most of the times, be a stressful experience. But even when you’ve settled on the make and model, you’ll still have to choose its specs – and Renault UK, for one, wants to make that process easier.

The French automaker has rolled out new EasyLife versions of three more of its models: the Scenic, Grand Scenic, and Koleos, which join the Clio, Megane, and Captur that are already offered in the same framework.

Not unlike what Mini has done in the British market, the Renault EasyLife framework narrows the trim levels down to just a few key versions. The Scenic and Grand Scenic minivans now come in three trim levels (instead of four), and the Koleos crossover in just two versions.

Scenic models (in both five- and seven-seat configurations) can be had in base Play, mid-level Iconic, and top-of-the-line Signature trims. And the Koleos can be had in Iconic or GT Line versions. Customers will still be able to choose between powertrain options, but even those have been streamlined to just one gasoline and one diesel for the Scenic and Grand Scenic, and one diesel for the Koleos, with either front- or four-wheel drive.

Pricing for the Scenic in the UK now ranges from £21,390 to £26,130, the Grand Scenic from £23,190 to £27,930, and the Koleos from £27,495 to £31,495. Those entry prices represent savings of £620 off the previous versions of the Scenic and Grand Scenic, and £550 off last year’s Koleos. So not only are they easier to choose between, but they’re cheaper, too.
