The Renault Symbioz is a compact crossover SUV (C-segment) by French manufacturer Renault.[2] It is an extended version of the Captur, built on the CMF-B HS platform shared with the Renault Clio and Nissan Juke.

Overview

The Symbioz was announced by the manufacturer on 8 February 2024 and was later revealed on 2 May 2024.[3][4] It takes the name from the Greek word "symbiosis", which translates to "living together", as well as the unrelated concept car of the same name, which was presented at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show.[2][5] The Symbioz is equipped with the OpenR Link system[6] and features an electrochromic panoramic glass roof, sold under the name Solarbay, on select models.[7]

Mitsubishi Grandis

Mitsubishi Motors rebadged the Symbioz as the Mitsubishi Grandis, which was unveiled on 2 July 2025.[8]
