    Renault has teased the new Trezor concept ahead of its official unveiling at the Paris motor show. Much in the way that the DeZir concept heralded the carmaker’s current look in 2010, the new concept will introduce a design direction for future production models.
     
    Renault says the name of the car “conjures up the image of a prized, multi-faceted object to be discovered and explored”, with the 'z' in the name referring to the Trezor’s electric zero-emission powertrain. The teaser image shows a hexagonal theme, which is a move away from the “simple warm and sensuous lines” of the current design language that formed the basis of the DeZir.
     
    The release of the DeZir concept was followed by a complete model line renewal between 2012 and the present day. Renault will continue to base its design philosophy on the ‘Life Flower’ diagram, which was introduced with the DeZir concept, and includes petals - labelled Love, Explore, Family, Work, Play and Wisdom - representing elements of the cycle of life. Renault’s design chief Laurens van den Acker uses these to form the basis of his design strategy.
     
    The Trezor concept will be showcased at Paris alongside the new Koleos, as well as a new lightweight pick-up truck called the Alaskan, which is based on the Nissan NP300 Navara.
