The Renault Symbioz feels less like a traditional car and more like a rolling living room that's been told it's allowed to drive — its flowing lines and minimalist cabin are pure concept-car theatre that teases the future of everyday transport. For buyers with an eye for design and a taste for tech-forward ideas, the Symbioz is an alluring vision of what Renault could offer tomorrow, even if it's not yet a model you can park in your driveway.
