The Renault Symbioz Concept represents the
automaker's vision for mobility beyond the year 2030, when vehicles will be
able to fully interact with connected homes, cities and road infrastructures.
Renault's Symbioz is actually "an integrated
house and car" that work together in harmony. This marks the first time
ever that a concept car and a connected home have been unveiled at a motor
show.
The Renault Symbioz concept is powered by
all-electric motors located on the rear axle, with each motor driving one
wheel. In terms of power, we're looking at a whooping 680 PS and 660
Nm peak torque. This means that it can hit 100 km/h from a
standstill in less than six seconds, while traveling more than 500 km in real-world driving conditions on motorways. Also, its 72 kWh
batteries can be charged to 80% of their capacity in 20 minutes via an
inductive charging system.
As for the house concept, the way it works is by
having the Symbioz drive into the house where it will become an additional,
modular room/connected space.
According to the French automaker, an electric,
autonomous and connected demo vehicle somewhat similar to the Symbioz will be
available for testing later this year. This demo car is supposed to embody the
brand's mid-term vision before 2023, which includes technology like
Multi-Sense, Easy Connect and Easy Drive.
