Renault Symbioz Mild-Hybrid 140 EDC joins the range

Renault Symbioz Mild-Hybrid 140 EDC

Renault has broadened the Symbioz crossover range with a mild-hybrid variant. Until now, the model had been offered solely with the full-hybrid E-Tech powertrain.

The new model uses a 1.3-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with mild-hybrid technology. It produces a combined 140 hp and 245 Nm of torque, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Its output is 20 hp lower than that of the full-hybrid Symbioz E-Tech 160.

Renault Symbioz prices and trim levels

The Renault Symbioz Mild-Hybrid 140 EDC starts at €37,790 in Techno trim. The Esprit Alpine specification is also available, priced at €39,390.

However, the full-hybrid model remains the least expensive option in the range. The Symbioz E-Tech 160 in Evolution trim is priced from €36,290. In Techno specification, it costs €38,290, which is €500 more than the equivalent mild-hybrid version. The full hybrid is additionally offered in Esprit Alpine (€39,890) and Iconic (€42,390) trims.
