The Renault Modus was designed for users looking for practicality and versatility without having to own a big vehicle as the Scenic.
The Modus was rather a combination between a Clio and a Scenic, being taller and shorter than the Clio.

To make sure the practicality of the Modus was at its best, Renault equipped the car with a Triptic seating system - the rear seats were mounted on sliding rails. The rear seats could offer great comfort or increased cargo capacity.

Innovatively, the front passenger seat had a flip up cushion to offer more storage space and prevent objects from rolling over.

To add even more versatility, users could access the load area even in situation where the Modus was parked very close to another car’s nose. The Boot Chute system consisted of a drop-down opening under the rear window of the tailgate.

The Modus scored a 5-star rating at the Euro-NCAP testing, with its 6 airbags and the ISOFIX child seat fixing points.

The Modus was offered with a variety of engine options: a 1.2-liter from power ranging between 65 hp and 74 hp, a 1.4-liter with 97 hp, a 1.6-liter with 111 hp and a Diesel engine, a 1.5 dCi Common Rail with power ranging between 85 hp and 106 hp.
