Find your perfect SYMBIOZ

The Renault Symbioz hybrid family SUV trades punches with the Nissan Qashqai in many areas, and lands some heavy blows when it comes to economy, practicality and price. If those factors are priorities for you, it's well worth a look. It gives too much away on driver appeal and performance to trouble the very best family SUVs though. Mid-spec Techno Esprit Alpine is the best choice for buyers.

Techno Esprit Alpine is the mid-range spec and adds electrically adjustable, heated front seats, a hands-free powered tailgate, blind-spot warning, lane-keeping assistance and rear cross-traffic assist. The alloy wheels are upgraded to 19in.

The sole engine option is a full hybrid set-up that combines a 1.6-litre petrol engine with twin electric motors for 143bhp in total. Thanks to those motors, the Symbioz never feels sluggish around town, but it’s not so punchy on the open road – 0-62mpg takes 10.6sec.
