In particular countries, the customers considered the three-box sedan vehicles more attractive. Renault noticed that and introduced the three-box sedan Clio Symbol, Thalia, on specific markets, based on the same platform with the regular Clio hatchback. In 2002, the French carmaker had to upgrade its lineup, and the three-box sedan also received a refresh.
At the front, the 2002 Symbol/Thalia featured the same “Bird beak” design from the rest of the Renault range. Its vertical slat divided the front grille in two and sported the chromed rhomboidal badge, and Renault extended the triangular-shaped headlights over the front plastic fenders. The Symbol featured a new body-colored bumper with a lower grille end two scoops for the optional fog lights. For the upper trim levels, it featured body-colored door handles and mirrors.
Inside, there was a similar-looking dashboard, but with increased material quality. It also featured a passenger airbag. Behind the steering wheel, Renault installed a stack that controlled the new CD stereo sound system. Another improvement was on the instrument cluster, which sported white dials and red needles for the speedometer, tachometer, and the gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. For the upper trim levels, the carmaker offered an option for power windows.
Under the hood, Renault installed a choice of three gasoline and one turbo-diesel engine, available with a few power options, depending on the market.

Model: Thalia (1999 - ...)

In late 1999, the Clio Symbol began production in Turkey, as the saloon version of the Clio II. It was subsequently launched in other countries, under different names, depending of the market: Clio Symbol, Thalia, Clio Sedan, Clio 4 Puertas, Symbol, or Clio Classic. The car was intended for sale in developing countries, where saloons were traditionally preferred over hatchbacks, most notably in Eastern Europe. In some Latin American markets, like Chile and Mexico, the facelifted model was offered as Nissan Platina, with slight changes at the front of the car to make it resemble the Nissan Altima. It is longer by 38 cm (15.0 in) than the hatchback and has a larger boot of 510 litres (18 cu ft).
The main production site of the model has been the Oyak-Renault plant in Bursa, Turkey, where manufacturing started in 1999. Worldwide, it was also built since 2000 in Argentina at the plant in Santa Isabel, Córdoba, in Brazil at the Ayrton Senna complex in Sao José dos Pinhais, near Curitiba, and since 2001 in Colombia by Sofasa. In 2002, it began assembly in Mexico, rebadged as Nissan Platina, at the Nissan Mexicana plant in Aguascalientes. For a short time, between the end of 2002 and 2004, it was also assembled in Russia by Avtoframos. The Platina was dropped following the 2010 model year, and was replaced by the March in its Mexican assembly plant and the line-up.
At the beginning it was available with only two engine options in Europe: a 1.4 liter 8-valve (75 hp, 114 Nm) and a 1.4 liter 16-valve (98 hp, 127 Nm), both of them with multi-point fuel injection. In Argentina it was manufactured with a 1.6 liter 16-valve petrol (100 hp; 74 kW) engine and a 1.9 liter diesel(65 hp; non-turbo), in Colombia with the 1.4 liter 8-valve, and in Brazil either with the 1.6 liter 16-valve or with a 1.0 16-valve petrol (70 hp; 52 kW). Initial trim designations were RN (RNA, RND) andRT (RTE, RTD), but later they received names of their own: Authentique, Expression, Dynamique, Alizé,Privilège etc.
Facelift
It was facelifted in March 2002.
