Same engine and gearbox as in the Megane Tourer, this time with MPV bodywork with lots of usable space. My driving comments were much the same: a bit sluggish but stable at all times, and with a six-speed gearbox where 6th is a bit redundant when you are towing. I like the Grand Scenic’s parking brake, though: it disengages automatically as you let in the clutch, so hillstarts are a doddle.
