2009 Renault Symbol

Souce: Renault Press Release
New Renault Symbol is a new three-box saloon which features attractive styling. Its length of 4.26 metres and height of 1.43 metres ensure nicely balanced proportions. The harmonious forms of its headlamps and body colour exterior mirrors underpin the front end’s status-enhancing looks.

The robust design of the rear is also suggestive of status, an impression which is compounded by the body colour rear bumper and wrap-round rear lights. The use of chrome trimming for the grille surround and rear panel adds a further note of refined distinction (depending on equipment level). New Renault Symbol can also be ordered with an optional Look Pack (additional lights and satin chrome door handles) and 14-or 15-inch aluminium alloy wheels. A broad range of accessories enables owners to further modify their car’s looks as a function of their personal taste.
