Inside Future Mobility

Renault finds an opening for yet another family-friendly SUV, this one with compact proportions and hybrid power Renault boss Luca de Meo has a knack for populism when it comes to new models, and heâ€™s clearly very happy for the formerly alternative and once-innovative volume car brand he now runs to simply keep on bringing the kind of cars that people are actually buying right now.By this testerâ€™s reckoning, his firm will have eight models on sale in the UK by the end of this year, across the well-worn B-segmentÂ (supermini), C-segmentÂ (compact) and D-segmentÂ (mid-size) â€“Â and six of them could loosely be described as SUVs. The latest is the Renault Symbioz, a hybrid-powered, smaller sibling for the Austral, and between the two, Renault hopes to outnumber and outflank the likes of the Nissan Qashqai, Kia Sportage and Volkswagen Tiguan.
