Renault has revealed the name of its new C-segment compact family SUV: Symbios.
Symbioz sounds like the French ‘symbiose’, derived from the ancient Greek ‘symbiosis’, meaning ‘living together’, a value deeply rooted in the DNA of Renault, with the slogan “cars for living”.
It is a word that is similar in many languages: ‘symbiosis’ in English, ‘simbiose’ in Spanish and ‘simbiosi’ in Italian, making the name Symbioz easy to understand by a wide audience.
Symbioz features the new brand design. This new SUV is the most compact hybrid in Renault’s C-segment range, at just 4.41m long.
The interior is designed to satisfy all the family, with generous space and loading capacity.
It delivers the best of Renault technology, including:
- the new-generation Solarbay panoramic glass roof, based on PDLC technology and turning opaque without a blind,
- the E-Tech full hybrid 145 hp engine in a vehicle of reduced weight (under 1,500 kg) for more driving pleasure and lower fuel consumption.
