Renault (http://www.autoblog.com/category/renault/) has given us all the goods on its newest crossover, the Scénic (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/scenic/) Xmod, one month in advance of the vehicle's world debut at the Geneva Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/geneva-motor-show/). The Xmod seeks to punch up the Scénic line of small MPVs with all-wheel drive and slightly butched up looks. (It's a formula that has panned out well for the French automaker before, with the likes of the Scénic RX4 and Scénic Conquest, for what it's worth.)
Visually, the Xmod takes us on a trip to crossover land, with increased ride height, beefier front and rear bumpers, side sill guards and a pair of utile, chrome-finished roof bars. Special alloy wheels and a set of LED daytime running lights complete the visual package.
Renault is also touting the use of its new Grip Xtend traction control system that includes a driver-adjustable knob to tailor the traction control to different surfaces, but the model is not available with all-wheel drive.
