Renault Cars throwing it E-Tech Landscape SUVs are the solution to saving relationships by refunding money to couples in the UK who buy cars and then divorce.
In an offer launched by PR agency Publicis London, Renault UK is offering Relationship Breakdown Insurance with the purchase of all Scenic E-Tech models until December 31, 2024.
This limited-time promotion ensures that Scenic E-Tech buyers who present proof of divorce will receive a full refund of the purchase price, provided they do so before the end of the year.
In fine print it states that those divorcing or ending a civil partnership must file formal court paperwork at least a month after buying an electric vehicle (EV) to be eligible for a refund.
That means the owner has a few months to buy the car, own and enjoy it (or not), get a divorce, and then prove it to the manufacturer.
In other words, it is unlikely that many of these refund requests will materialise, especially given that the UK has a relatively low divorce rate of 34.2%.
The idea for Relationship Breakdown Insurance was born after Renault conducted research into the conflicts couples face while driving.
Yes, the French automaker really did put on its lab coats to take a deep dive into love behind the wheel.
In fact, 21 percent of British drivers admit to having argued over directions, while 20 percent have argued about a driver’s behaviour on the road.
The survey also found that the top three car features that boost driver morale were comfortable seats (42 percent), high-quality sound systems (26 percent) and spacious interiors (26 percent).
Renault claims the Scenic E-Tech ticks all those boxes, but we’ll let buyers who love this car decide.
This offer is currently only available in the UK. Renault doesn’t sell the Scenic E-Tech in Australia and the brand has given no indication it will bring the RBC Down Under here.
