Pre-Hall Moscow: Renault Announces New Symbol / Thalia

Where are the pictures that officers are removed renders the black and white. Renault has made official its new compact sedan, a model of 4.26 meters long and 1.43 high that based in part on the Clio III (II retains the suspension, however) will receive the names Thalia orRenault Symbol, depending on the country where it is marketed.

The press release is PARC in detail, but spoke of diesel and petrol "last generation", and together with a high sense of perceived quality, both inside and outside the vehicle.

Renault will present this interesting sedan next week in the Hall of Moscow, where city certainly should be sold quite well. Its main markets are Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America, Russia, Turkey and Maghreb countries.

From its launch in Western Europe has not said anything, but could be in clear conflict with the very well received Dacia Logan. For aesthetics, of course, it would take him from street.

Hall Moscow: Renault Symbol 2009

Renault has presented this morning in the Hall of the Moscow International Motor Show the newRenault Symbol, a model that will also be marketed in some markets under the name Thalia. For the moment has no scheduled arrival in the countries of Western Europe.

With a length of 4.26 meters, will be available with engines of 75 hp 1.2i 16v, 1.4i 8v 75 hp, 1.4i 16v 98 hp and 1.6IA 16v 105 bhp in petrol and 1.5 dCi versions 65 and 85 hp. The only mechanical eligible for automatic Proactive are the 1.4i 16v and 1.6IA 16v.

Among the possible enhancements to theRenault Symbol highlight a new system of automatic climate control, heated front seats, ABS + EBD, front and side airbags, trip computer, alloy wheels, 14 and 15 inches, and so on. The best of the new Renault Symbol is undoubtedly the ability of the boot, with 506 liters of capacity.


But not everything in this model is as good as its trunk. For example, the dashboard is taken from the second generation Clio although slightly changed the design to bring it up to date, something that has not happened with the panels and doors, with a design very outdated and above all, seen. The ABS, something common in cars of today will be optional in some markets as it will be serial-and worst of all is that there will be only engines that exceed the Euro I standards because in some regions there is no control emissions, something that the manufacturers themselves should care more. Incidentally, the new Renault Symbol takes the basis of the Clio II, another point that it closer to Renault / Dacia Logan that the Clio III, which is the model we had in mind all as a starting point for the new generation (and which in fact been reached by official sources point out).

With all this, the new Renault Symbol is a car more pleasing to the eye than the current but still has to continue improving and elements such as ESP and curtain airbags should be at least optional, since the safety does not play in the background. For emerging economies can make it work even if there are more products round, as the basic versions of the Kia Rio and Hyundai Accent Sedan 4-door or the same SEAT Cordoba.

Renault Symbol / Thalia Eco-Challenge

Renault has shown that with a driving can save a good number of liters of fuel at the end of the year. It has conducted a test in which over two days, three drivers should try to maximize the fuel tank of 45 liters of the new Renault Thalia.

The three units of Thalia wore sealing the reservoir, so it was impossible to be able to perform any additional filling. Besides the test was supervised by staff independent outside Renault. The delineation of the over 1,450 km made mixes all kinds of situations, from motorways to minor roads with enough traffic and urban areas of Turkey.

At Renault have made it clear that the three employees Thalia vehicles were completely serial, unchanged and that the only thing that their drivers had to reduce consumption is to conduct an efficient driving. The mechanics chosen for the test was the 1.5 dCi 85 hp, with which have been accredited to the best figures, with an average of only 3.15 L/100 autonomy and a general with a deposit of 1,700 kms. Without a doubt are excellent data.

Some techniques applied in the driving are:

Make changes at low revolutions, to climb to 2,000 rpm and 1,000 rpm running to reduce (50 km / h should move into fourth or fifth).
Maintain the speed no sudden changes or acelerones, using the engine brake as much as possible. While approaching a traffic light, fail to speed up some 100 meters before arriving.
Up to 50 km / h, acceleration should be faster tried to introduce at least the fourth or fifth speed, but after that figure, it is best to make the changes so gentle.
In sharp declines while maintaining the speed increases in trying not to change the force exerted on the accelerator, provided they do not constitute a traffic hazard.
In the event of more than a minute, turn off the vehicle. Something similar when we started the march, does not require a warming up of the car before putting it in motion. Performing a soft leadership, does not harm mechanics.
Have your vehicle in perfect condition to help reduce consumption, beginning with checking the pressure of the wheels, does not carry unnecessary overweight in the trunk, remove the bars from the roof and use air conditioning to keep in mind that the temperature difference between inside / was no more than 5 º C.
