Mitsubishi Grandis returns, but it's no longer a people mover
Many automakers are busy delving into their archives and digging grand names for the past, attaching them to new vehicles, and tapping into our sepia-tinged memories. Mitsubishi is no different, with the Grandis the latest nameplate to be exhumed and repurposed. While the original car was a mid-size people mover that, in Australia at least, replaced the Nimbus, the new version is an SUV. Unlike the first generation car, which was very much a Mitsubishi designed and built product, the new one is a repurposed Renault Symbioz (bottom).

The two share the same wheelbase, and are practically identical from the B-pillar forward, but the Symbioz has redesigned rear doors, a longer rear overhang, and sharper rear-end styling. All of this is carried over to the Grandis, but the Mitsubishi version has a unique fornt bumper featuring a gloss black single-frame grille design with chrome slats up top.

Mitsubishi has replaced all of the chromed lower body highlights with gloss black counterparts to give the Grandis a slightly sportier look than the Renault.

Renault adds new full-hybrid options for Symbioz and Captur
Close The Symbioz and Captur crossovers have become the first Renault models to gain the French firm's new full-hybrid powertrain. The E-Tech Full Hybrid 160 system, announced in May, gets a combined 158bhp from a 1.8-litre four-cylinder petrol engine and two electric motors (a 48bhp motor and a 20bhp ISG). Those motors draw energy from a 1.4kWh battery, which is recharged via regenerative breaking and allows for unspecified short periods of electric-only driving. The new powertrain costs from £25,195 in the Captur and from £29,795 in the Symbioz. Renault has also added a new mild-hybrid petrol model to the bottom of the Symbioz line-up, priced from £ 27,395. This pairs a 1.3-litre four-cylinder turbo petrol engine with a gearbox-mounted electric motor for a combined 138bhp. Power is sent to the front wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox. All three new models are available to order now, with deliveries due to start in July.
