Most people wouldn?t have spotted the gap between the Captur and Austral SUVs, but Renault did, and has shoehorned in the Symbioz. Think of it as a stretched Captur with some of the added tech and quality of the more expensive Austral and you?re pretty much there. The Symbioz has clearly been designed with busy family life in mind, and a focus on versatility and practicality. Keeping with the times, the Symbioz is exclusively powered by hybrid, though it shares its striking looks with Renault?s latest EVs. The Symbioz is fitted with a large suite of active safety systems as standard, including automatic lights, an automatic emergency braking system, adaptive cruise control, monitoring of the driver?s attention, emergency lane keep assist including solid line, oncoming traffic and road edge detection, tyre pressure warnings and of course the E-Call system that automatically calls the authorities following a crash. Some additional safety systems are only available on the higher-specification models, which is a shame. Usefully, though, the Symbioz allows you to program your preferred safety settings and activate them with a double press of a single button.
