The most accessible European B-segment car has taken on a fresh and modern form – inheriting seductive and sensual body lines from the fourth generation model, the new Renault CLIO captivates with an even sportier and more elegant design.
The most striking – in the literal sense of the word – change in the new CLIO's appearance is the LED front headlights, with the manufacturer's signature C-shaped daytime running lights, available from the first equipment level. Even more elegance is added to the sleek hatchback profile with chrome window surrounds and a metallic trim strip at the bottom of the doors, while the dynamic appearance is emphasized by the contours of the hood, larger radiator grille, and front bumper with a large air intake, which not only gives more expression to the car's face but also ensures optimal engine cooling.
A true revolution in design and comfort has occurred in the interior – in the spacious, completely newly styled cabin, high-quality finishes, improved ergonomics, and a plethora of technologies are immediately noticeable. The key design element of the “Smart Cockpit” is the 7 or 9.3-inch diagonal advanced “Easy Link” multimedia system screen, angled towards the driver, featuring “Android Auto” and “Apple CarPlay” mobile device interfaces. The analog instrument panel has been replaced with a digital 7 or 10-inch TFT screen, the new design multifunction steering wheel is even more comfortable to hold, high-quality, pleasant-to-touch materials have been used for the instrument panel and door trims, and the new ergonomic seats offer luxurious comfort for all passengers and ensure more space for those sitting in the back.
The city baby is propelled forward by completely new engines that meet strict emissions standards, equipped with technologies to reduce emissions. In a wide range of powertrains – two versions of the diesel “1.5 Blue dCi” engine (85 and 115 HP) and several modern petrol engines: the economical three-cylinder “1.0 SCe,” achieving 65 or 75 HP, the dynamic and simultaneously very economical and environmentally friendly turbo three-cylinder “1.0 TCe,” reaching 100 HP, and the most powerful and efficient in the line, the 130 HP four-cylinder “1.3 TCe GPF,” available with a dual-clutch EDC transmission.
