Renault Symbol [w/Gallery]

Renault has unveiled its new Symbol family saloon at the 2012 Istanbul Motor Show.

The new five-seater Symbol features the carmaker's latest design cues such as the larger front logo that sits in a more upright position in the middle of a wide, black and chrome-trimmed grille strip. Another black chrome-trimmed grille strip that integrates the fog lamps is located underneath the license plate while the headlamps taper slightly into the side.

The feature line that flows from the front emphasizes the wheelarches before fading underneath the A-pillar. Another feature line begins halfway between the B- and C-pillars before arching over the door handles and straightening into the rear lamps.

Inside, the Symbol features a 60/40-split folding rear bench seat and also a more extensive equipment package, including (depending on version) the Renault Media Nav multimedia navigation system complete with a wide, seven-inch touchscreen color display.

The Renault Symbol is scheduled to go on sale in Turkey at the beginning of 2013, before being released in Algeria and Tunisia.
