Renault, one of the pioneers of the democratization movement of electric cars, announced that it will launch a model called Symbioz in 2024 as a rival to models such as Peugeot e-3008 and Nissan Qashqai, following Zoe and Megane E-TECH. The new C-SUV, which the French brand will position between Captur and Austral, will also be an alternative to MPVs. Symbiosis, whose origins are based on the ancient Greek word “Symbiosis”, means “Living Together” and seems to achieve this goal by presenting many segments together.
