The "Get a life" awareness campaign (Motor Trader, 5 May) for the car brought more than 80,000 visitors to Renault dealers. Renault claims that UK demand could prove six times higher than initial estimates, as it has in Europe. "Dealers have hundreds of test-drives booked for the coming weeks," a spokesman said. "The bank holiday weekend [24-26 May] was pretty busy too." Renault claimed the campaign boosted sales of its other models. But Scenics were sold to people replacing, among others, an Audi A4, a Volvo estate, a Ford Galaxy and a Land Rover Discovery. Sales of mini MPVs such as Renault's Scenic are expected to exceed significantly those of the larger models according to analysis by Marketing Systems. Predictions for Europe show the mini MPV sector reaching 100,000 by the end of the decade. This is more than double anticipated sales for US-inspired MPVs. According to the report the success of the mini MPV is down to size, cost and because it is "more in tune with European driving".
