Renault Clio Completely new: Totally different appearance, known recipe

The Renault Clio was, Despite Its Age, Still the Most Popular New Car in Europe in the First Half of the Year. You Might Think That Renault would be Conservative with the Generational Change, but in Terms of Design, that is not the case at all.

Highlights Renault Clio

Credit Where Credit is Due: Renault is Delivering An Extraordinary Performance with the Fifth Generation of the Clio, AS it Simply Topped the Sales Charts in Europe for Several Months This Year. “In Some Countries, People Only Know Us Because of the Clio,” It Sounds at the Press Introduction. Then you know that as a completely new renault clio you have big shoes to fill. Yet in one important respect, it does not follow the example of its predecessor.

For the Sixth Clio, Renault’s Design Department Tok a Somewhat Surprising Approach. Not only do we hardly recognize the car as a clio, but there is also no real recognizable renault family face. The New Clio Gets A Fairly Unique Appearance, in which we recognize at most some hints of the Renault Emblème Concept Car. Still, Renault says it is not afraid that the clio will not be recognized as such. The proportions of the body are, accordance to the brand, ‘typically clio’. You can see that it is a Renault by the More Than 100 Loosenges in the Grille.

Same Base

Underneath, The New Renault Clio Has Changed Much Less. At Least, it still sits on the cmf-b Base and the wheelbase has grown by just under a centimeter. The Total Length Changed a Little More; at 4.12 meters, it is 7 cm Longer than the Previous Renault Clio. Those centimeters are mainly in the overhings and not so much in the interior. The maximum LugGage Space is equally identical to that of the outgoing clio at 391 liters. What does the clio gain from the growth? Well, accordance to Renault, there is ‘More Passive Safety’. In Layman’s Terms, this mean that it probable reacts a little better to a collision due to its slightly longer neOSE. Incidentally, The Track Width is Just a Bit Wider than Before and the Clio Will also Bevaillable with 18-inch Light-Alloy Wheels. All in all, it should feel just a bit more dynamic.

Now that we’ve already talked a bit about the interior; It’s a bit more or a feast or recognition. For Example, we see the steering wheel that we already know from the austral and the two 10-inch screens brakeind us of the renault 5. These screens are standard, althegh the basic version (evolution) does not have integrated Google on them. Those are available One Step Higher (Techno). Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay Are Always Included in this Infotainment System Trained on Google. A special detail in the dashboard is reserved for the Esprit Alpine Top Version: The Ventilation Grilles on the corners then a colorful finish That Resembles Steel that has Become Hot. Otherwise we can hardly describe it. In any case, it looks special. Ambient Lighting in the Dashboard and Front Doors is also included, The Basic Version has to do without it.

Gasoline, Gas, Hybrid

In Terms of Drive, The New Renault Clio Will Come On The Market in Virtuely The Same Flavors As We Are Used To From The Fifth Generation. That mean that it will again be available with a gasoline engine, one that also likes lpg and as a hybrid. A diesel Engine, which has not leg available here for a while, is no longer available with this sixth clio at all. The Range Will starts with a 1.2 TCE three-cylinder. A Variant of the Power Source That is also available in The Renault Austral, for Example. In The Clio it is not a mild hybrid, but simply A 115 HP Gasoline Engine. You can get this with a six-speed manual or a six-speed dual-clutch automatic.

Just slightly above it, in Terms of Power, is a version of this blown 1.2 that also likes lpg. That is 120 HP Strong and you can only get it with the automatic. With a capacity of 50 liters, the gas tank is clearly larger than in the current clio that likes gas (32 liters). Please note: you lose some luggage space with this version, althegh it is not yet know exactly how much. The same applies to the hybrid version. It now has a new 1.8, which works together with a starter generator and electric motor. The System Power: 160 HP. We Already Know This Powertrain from, For Example, The Austral and Should Be More Economical Than The 145 HP Hybrid Powertrain of the Current Clio Despite 15 HP or Extra Power. As you would expect, this is also only available with automatic transmission. A so-called ‘Multimode’ Gearbox, Just Like the Current Hybrid Clio. Renault specifications An Average consumption of 5 l/100 km for the 115 HP 1.2 (5.1 l/100 km with automatic), 6.9 l/100 km for the 120 HP ECO-G Version and 3.9 l/100 km for the Hybrid e-tech.
