Hi Christine,

The Symbioz uses a sophisticated transmission and hybrid system that couples and decouples the engine and alters the engine speed to best deliver the required performance or maximum economy at any moment. This depends on a variety of factors, and it can sometimes mean the engine becomes more audible. This characteristic is not uncommon in hybrids, but if you think there’s something out of the ordinary, do pay your Renault dealer a visit so they can put your mind at ease.
