New Renault Symbol customers will be able to specify the new TCe 90 petrol engine. The fuel consumption of this 90-horsepower power plant is just 5.3 litres/100km, equivalent to 122g of CO2/km. The list also includes the dCi 75 and dCi 90 diesel engines, the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of which have come down to 3.9 litres/100km and 103g/km respectively

New Symbol features Renault’s new styling cues. As is the case with all the brand’s new models, the front logo is larger and sits in a more prominent, upright position in the middle of a wide, black, chrome-trimmed grille strip.

It also seats up to five adults in perfect comfort thanks to the availability of even more room for rear passengers. 

In response to the needs of customers in Renault’s international markets, Symbol comes with a more extensive equipment package, including (depending on version) the Renault Media Nav multimedia navigation system complete with a wide, seven-inch (18cm) touchscreen colour display. Meanwhile, USB and Bluetooth® connectivity enables occupants to enjoy music stored on portable players and to make or take telephone calls in total safety. The specification also includes cruise control with speed limiter, while modularity is enhanced by the 60/40-split folding rear bench seat.

New Renault Symbol has been engineered for use by customers in Renault’s international markets and comes with a three-year/100,000km warranty.

Following its unveiling at the Istanbul Motor Show, New Renault Symbol is scheduled to go on sale in Turkey at the beginning of 2013, before being released in Algeria and Tunisia.

‘New Renault Symbol delivers a level of equipment normally associated with vehicles from the next segment up,’ said Evrim Gouillou, Marketing Project manager. ‘Its new design and attractive equipment package are the perfect answer to meet the demands of customers in Renault’s international markets,’ he added.
