The Renault Symbol, Clio or Thalia in some markets, is a subcompact sedan produced by the French automobile manufacturer Renault.[1] It was introduced in late 1999, under the Clio Symbol name, as the derivative version of the second generation Renault Clio, and unlike the hatchback it was marketed only in those countries where saloons were traditionally preferred over hatchbacks,[2] while it was not sold in Western Europe.[3] It was actually sold in France, but only in overseas departments/regions.
The second generation had a different design from the third generation Clio and was built on the platform of the first generation car. A third generation was introduced in late 2012, as a derivative version of the second generation Dacia Logan.
Its key markets are Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America, the Maghreb and the Persian Gulf states, most notably countries like Turkey, Brazil, Romania, Russia, Algeria, Colombia and Tunisia.[4]
