FactThis 'Symbol' isn't really its own model — it's a rebadged Dacia/Renault Logan, built in Turkey and Algeria as the Symbol and, since 2013, in Brazil as the Renault Logan.
The third generation, revealed at the 2012 Istanbul Motor Show, is a rebadged version of the second generation Dacia/Renault Logan on the Dacia M0 platform, manufactured in Bursa, Turkey and, from CKD kits at a new plant in Oran, Algeria (from November 2014, 25,000 units per year initially), on sale in Turkey at the beginning of 2013 and also released in Algeria and Tunisia, in Brazil as the Renault Logan from November 2013 and in Chile as the Renault Symbol. In Turkey it is offered with a 1.2-litre 16-valve petrol engine developing 55 kW (75 PS) and 107 N·m or a 1.5-litre diesel developing 66 kW (90 PS) and 220 N·m, with a 5-speed manual or, after the 2017 facelift, the 5-speed Easy-R automated manual, in Joy and Touch trims; in Chile a 1.6-litre petrol develops 61 kW (83 PS) and 131 N·m in Expression, Dynamique and Privilege trims. The first-quarter 2017 facelift brought LED daytime running lights, a new rear with a new trunk and taillights, and a new three-spoke steering wheel; the updated version launched in Persian Gulf states (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar) and sales in Iran began in August 2015. The facelifted Symbol is not sold in Mexico, leaving Renault without a saloon there until the Arkana replaced it.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

A jury of journalists from fifteen countries picked this budget Renault as their 2009 "Autobest" winner — serious recognition for a car built mainly for emerging markets.
For about two years in the early 2000s, Renault had the Clio Symbol/Thalia built in Russia by Avtoframos — a brief, little-known manufacturing detour for a car marketed worldwide.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
