Renault Symbol

The Renault Symbol, sold in some markets as the Clio or the Thalia, is a subcompact saloon that Renault introduced in late 1999 as the Clio Symbol, the sedan derivative of the second-generation Renault Clio. It was aimed at countries where saloons are preferred to hatchbacks, mainly Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America, the Maghreb and the Gulf, and it was not sold in Western Europe. The first generation was built in Bursa, Turkey, from 1999, in Brazil from 2000 and in Colombia from 2001, and in Mexico it was rebadged as the Nissan Platina. It was facelifted in March 2002. A third generation arrived in late 2012 as a derivative of the second-generation Dacia Logan.
