The second generation uses the running gear of the previous generation car and has a different design than the third generation Clio.
The name Clio was dropped in favour to just Symbol, or Thalia in those markets where this name was used on the previous generation.

It was revealed for the first time in August 2008 at the Moscow International Motor Show and went on sale between September and November.
The second generation car is longer than the previous by 7 cm (2.8 in) and has a boot capacity of 506 litres (17.9 cu ft).

The new Symbol was designed jointly by Renault's engineering teams in France, Turkey and Romania, for countries in the Eastern and Central Europe, Russia, Turkey, North Africa and as well the Persian Gulf States.
Development of the project (codenamed L35) took 26 months.
The main production site remains the Oyak-Renault plant in Bursa, Turkey, and from 2009 it is also manufactured in Santa Isabel, Argentina, for the South American market and only with the 1.6 litre 16-valve engine.

It is available in three equipment levels: Authentique, Expression and Privilège.
Features included by Authentique are driver airbag, rev-counter or body-coloured front and rear bumpers.
Expression adds hydraulic power steering, trip computer, electric front windows, height adjustable steering wheel and front seats, folding rear bench seat, rear headrests and body-coloured mirrors and electric central locking with remote control.
Privilège adds electric mirrors, leather-trimmed steering wheel, foglamps, rear electric windows and radio-CD player with MP3 playback.

In terms of safety, the new Symbol offers driver airbag, passenger airbag, two lateral airbags (depending on version), anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), anti-intrusion strengthening in front and rear doors, height-adjustable front seatbelts, power steering and rear parking sensors.

In December 2008, the second generation of the Renault Symbol was awarded the "Autobest 2009" prize, by a jury made up of journalists from fifteen countries, mainly emerging markets in Eastern and Central Europe.
