Renault Symbioz full hybrid E-Tech Iconic Design in Mercury Blue

Full hybrid E-Tech powertrains are particularly appreciated by customers for their impressive fuel consumption and low CO2 emissions. The new 160 hp version on Symbioz emits just 98g/km of CO2 for 4.3l/100km WLTP. New Espace is an equally strong performer, with 4.8 litres/100 km and 108 g/km of CO2 for the 200 hp powertrain with optimised gear changing. These two family vehicles, each in its own segment, are true voitures à vivre, expressing the brand’s DNA. Their full hybrid E-Tech powertrains share a series-parallel architecture protected by over 150 patents and designed to reconcile driving pleasure with efficiency. The powertrains combine a combustion engine with two battery-powered electric motors and an intelligent multi-mode clutchless dogbox. Inspired by Formula 1 technology, the gearbox combines two gears for the main electric motor and four for the internal combustion engine. The motors and engine include 15 different operating combinations, for optimal driving pleasure, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in all types of use.
