Renault to introduce models with completely new body styles

Renault showcased their Embleme Concept, which hints at the new design language.

According to a media report, Renault will introduce its new generation of vehicles in 2028. These new models from the French carmaker though will feature completely new body styles & move away from the conventional SUV design.

Renault even showcased their Embleme Concept, which hints at the new design language, as confirmed by the brand's design chief. The new generation models will be based on a new platform, which claims to offer "radical advances in efficiency & sustainability."

Talking about the Embleme concept, the design boss stated, "The Embleme is a better representation of what's next for the brand globally in terms of design, and maybe new silhouettes, for the future: generous shapes, not too minimalistic, but simpler than what we did lately on Scenic."

Gilles Vidal, Design Chief, Renault, mentioned, "The big question is how to do you reinvent the next step in terms of concepts [and] silhouettes? What do they stand for? What are they for?"

Vidal also stated that despite "a lot of SUV bashing, people still want, and sometimes even need them. SUVs have replaced MPVs, more or less, and some people still buy them for practical reasons. It makes you wonder what should we do that’s less questionable in terms of heritage, and more efficient, and therefore deserves a new kind of shape?"

He mentioned that "people will still need big cars", hence he questioned, "What character do you give to those products? And beyond that, what are the next things? It seems like we’ve seen it all. The world invented the Espace and the Scenic, and big fat SUVs and then more respectable crossovers. Along with almost 140 years of automobile history, it seems like we’ve seen it all – but surely there are new things to invent; new very meaningful concepts and silhouettes regarding society’s questions in today’s world."
