Opel Grandland Electric vs Renault Scenic E-Tech

Side-by-Side Specs

Charging Speed

The Opel Grandland Electric has the higher published DC charging figure at 160 kW, which is roughly 7% higher than the Renault Scenic E-Tech at 150 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.

For the published fast-charge window, the Opel Grandland Electric is listed at about 29 minutes, which is 11 minutes quicker than the Renault Scenic E-Tech at 40 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.

Range and Efficiency

The Renault Scenic E-Tech has a WLTP rated range of approximately 623 km, which is roughly 100 km more than the Opel Grandland Electric at approximately 523 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.

Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Renault Scenic E-Tech consumes 181 Wh/km, compared to 197 Wh/km for the Opel Grandland Electric. That means the Renault Scenic E-Tech uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.

A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Renault Scenic E-Tech has approximately 87 kWh of useable battery , while the Opel Grandland Electric has approximately 73 kWh.

Which One Should You Choose?

If fast charging is your priority, the Opel Grandland Electric has the higher published DC figure (up to 160 kW) and the shorter published charge time at approximately 29 minutes. For long road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.

For AC charging (home wallboxes, workplace chargers, and public street chargers), the Renault Scenic E-Tech supports up to 22 kW, compared to up to 11 kW for the Opel Grandland Electric. In Europe, many public chargers are 22 kW AC, so this difference can matter at those locations if the higher AC figure is fitted on the car you buy.

If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Renault Scenic E-Tech is the more efficient choice at 181 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.

For maximum range between charges, the Renault Scenic E-Tech has a WLTP rated range of approximately 623 km, which is roughly 100 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
