About the Renault Symbol Mk3
The third-generation Renault Symbol was unveiled at the 2012 Istanbul Motor Show as a rebadged version of the second-generation Dacia Logan. Primarily targeting markets in Central and Eastern Europe, North Africa, and the Persian Gulf, it replaced the previous Clio-based model with a more spacious and modern design. The 1.5 dCi variant is prized for its exceptional fuel efficiency and mechanical simplicity, making it a staple in developing economies. While it lacks the refinement of Western European Renaults, its 510-litre boot and rugged suspension make it a highly practical choice for its intended regions.
