Renault Symbol - owner feedback and car features

"Renault Simbol" is a French-made car that belongs to the class of front-wheel-drive compact sedans. There is this car since the 90s. At its designing engineers have taken for a basis a design of a hatchback «Renault Clio». At first the new car did not enjoy high popularity among motorists, and it was not planned to deliver it to the world market either. However, the situation changed radically in 2002, when the French made a serious restyling of the model. Since then, the novelty has become one of the most popular in its class. But what does Renault Symbol have in its owners' reviews and specifications? The answers to all these and other questions will be found in our today's review.

Renault Symbol - owner feedback and design review

First of all, motorists emphasized the modern exterior, which was finalized during the restyling. In fact, the French designers completely remade the body of the car. For example, the front end of the Renault Symball 14 has been completely redesigned. Thus, the car found new triangular headlights, a bumper with integrated fog lights (in the base configuration stubs were present in their place) and a radiator grill, divided into two parts, between which the chrome emblem of the company was located. There is a long plastic molding on the front, sides and behind. In general, regarding the design of the new Renault Symbol, the owners' testimonials do not express any indignation. Restyling was so successful that even now the given image of the machine does not lose its relevance

Reno Simbol - owner feedback on the interior

Inside the car there was a new steering wheel and a small liquid crystal display on the center console. At that time, such monitors were a luxury and envy of car owners, so for electronic equipment, "Renault Simbol" was one of the most advanced in its class. This display clearly displayed information from the car radio and showed the current temperature "overboard". The decoration of the interior is two-tone: the tops are dominated by gray tones, the lower ones are lighter ones (shade of ivory). Particular attention was paid to the quality of finishing "Renault Simbol". The owners' comments noted the presence of new plastic, which did not rumble and did not vibrate on the road, and a sheath of pleasant light tones. The only drawback was the lack of a tachometer on the dashboard (a similar situation was with the Korean "Daewoo Nexia" in the 90's). And in general, the interior of the sedan looks very solid and respectable.

Technical Characteristics of Renault Symball

The engine of the "Frenchman" was petrol. The kit included eight-valve 1.4-liter engine with a manual gearbox for 5 steps. A little later the line of power units was replenished with two sixteen-valve plants (diesel and gasoline). Gasoline engine with a working volume of 1.6 liters developed power of 107 horsepower. A diesel unit with a capacity of 1.5 liters had at its disposal only modest 65 "horses".
