According to Sylvia dos Santos, Head of Naming Strategy at Renault, the brand wanted an original, meaningful name for the new C-segment SUV model. Symbioz draws its roots from the word "symbiosis," which scientifically refers to different organisms living together in a mutually beneficial relationship. Renault felt this aptly reflected the vision for the SUV to deeply connect with passengers and families.

The emphasis on spaciousness, versatility and family-friendly traits factored heavily into naming the new model Symbioz. Renault aims to design the compact SUV's interior as a comfortable, connected space for sharing and interacting. The name is also intended to evoke a sense of freedom and enjoyment for drivers.
