Thanks to its pressure-cast aluminium alloy casing, the AJ0 transmission tips the scales at a mere 93kg (without fluids). Its compact dimensions (length: 385mm) allow the powertrain to be positioned transversely in the engine compartment.

The transmission is lubricated for life by 8 litres of oil and is water-cooled by a circuit incorporated in the casing.

It can be used with both diesel and petrol engines and is predisposed for use with an all-wheel drive vehicle.

The AJ0 transmission is built in the Yagi JATCO factory in Japan.



The 1.9 dCi engine: excellent versatility

2007 Renault Scenic's catalogue of diesel engines also includes the particulate filter-equipped 1.9 dCi 130hp (F9Q), which can be ordered with either a six-speed manual gearbox (ND0) or automatic proactive four-speed flick-shift transmission (DP0). This 1,870cc block delivers 130hp at 4,000rpm and torque of 300Nm at 2,000rpm (automatic transmission: 250Nm at 1,600rpm). The pressure of the variable geometry turbocharger is 2.5 bar, while the 1,600-bar fuel injection system ensures sprightly performance both in town and on motorways. One of the 1.9 dCi's foremost qualities is its low combined cycle fuel consumption of just 6 litres/100km (manual gearbox), the equivalent of 159g/km of CO2 emissions. This engine can be specified with or without a particulate filter.



A choice of two power outputs for the 1.5 dCi engine

2007 Renault Scenic 1.5 dCi is available in a choice of two power outputs in order to meet the demands of its different markets. The most powerful version delivers 105hp (78kW) at 4,000rpm and 240Nm of torque at 2,000rpm. Mated to a six-speed manual gearbox, this engine (K9K) stands out as a benchmark in terms of acoustic performance and also offers one of the best performance/fuel consumption ratios of its class with CO2 emissions of just 138g/km (Scenic and five-seat Grand Scenic). For enhanced environmental friendliness, this 1.5 dCi powerplant will shortly be available with a periodic regeneration particulate filter with a fifth injector located just upstream of the filter, ensuring that regeneration takes place without the driver even being aware of it.

In its 85hp trim (63kW) (not available with five- and seven-seat Grand Scenic), this engine is particularly fuel efficient and environmentally friendly with fuel consumption of just 5.1 litres/100km (combined cycle) and CO2 emissions of 137g/km. It is ideal for city motoring, as well as for motorway use for drivers who place the emphasis on low running costs or who don't carry heavy loads.



A petrol engine for all types of use

2007 Renault Scenic comes with a comprehensive selection of petrol engines too, with power outputs ranging from 100 to 165hp.



1.4 16V 100hp, punch and response

The entry level petrol engine for 2007 Scenic is the 1.4 16V (K4J) which puts out 100hp (72kW) at 6,000rpm and offers torque of 127Nm at 3,750rpm (not available with five- or seven-seat Grand Scenic). This 1,390cc block is acclaimed for its low fuel consumption and punch at low revs.
