Presentation

The name Morphoz comes from the concept car's ability to modify its morphology, by modifying its length. [1] The Morphoz follows the logic of the names of the concept cars that preceded it (DeZir, TreZor and Symbioz) by including a "Z" in his surname, just like the EZ concept series (EZ-Pro, EZ-Go, EZ-Ultimo, EZ-Flex, EZ-POD).

The Renault Morphoz concept car was to be presented at the 2020 Geneva Motor Show on 3 March 2020. [2] but it was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Switzerland. [3] On that date, however, it was unveiled in pictures on the Internet.
