The Renault Symbioz Hybrid is a mid-sized SUV that’s just the right size, fitting neatly between Renault’s smaller Captur and the larger Austral. It’s about 4,413 mm long, making it perfect for families who need space for both people and stuff. Built on the same CMF-B platform as the Captur, the Symbioz has a familiar face upfront, but the rest of the design is bolder and edgier, with sharper lines and a more modern look.
It is powered by E-Tech technology. This system combines a 1.6-liter gasoline engine with two electric motors and a 1.2 kWh battery, delivering a combined output of 145 horsepower. The focus here is on fuel economy, with estimates suggesting an impressive 61.4 miles per gallon. Additionally, the Symbioz Hybrid is expected to be capable of running on electric power for around 80% of city driving, further reducing reliance on gasoline.
Inside, the cabin is featuring a massive 10.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system featuring Google integration, while a clear 10.3-inch digital driver display shows everything you need. The innovative Solarbay® panoramic roof adjusts between clear and opaque to keep you comfortable and potentially save on gas, and advanced driver-assistance systems with features like automatic emergency braking ensure a safe ride. The Symbioz Hybrid boasts a family-focused interior with flexible seating. A sliding rear bench maximizes either legroom or cargo space, with trunk capacity ranging from 17.3 cubic feet to 22.0 cubic feet when folded. Ample storage solutions include a 7-liter glove box and 24.7 liters of cleverly designed compartments.
