The Renault Clio has been fending off challengers to its supermini crown for the best part of 30 years, yet somehow it remains one of the sector's freshest and most stylish options.
Now in its 4th generation, the latest Clio is every bit as chic and youthful looking as the early 90s original. Over the years, Renault have done a fine job of staying true the to the original winning formula – smart, fun and nippy, with reasonable running costs – while reinventing it with sharp new styling and cutting edge features.
The best news is you can secure a new Renault Clio with a £500 deposit and we’ll pay towards your first year’s insurance. You can use this to buy insurance from a provider of your choice (of course, we’d love it if you chose our black box insurance, but we don’t tie you in!)
The original stylish supermini, Renault’s evergreen Clio is more appealing than ever, with sleek modern styling and smooth lines. They’ve kept the sporty styling of a 3 door coupe, but offering the size and comfort of a 5 door – with two cleverly disguised rear doors!
The Clio is ideal for nipping around town – and the countryside alike. It’s a joy to drive, handles well and is light and easy to steer, as well as being economical to run.
Inside, the compact Clio is smart and stylish with a built in DAB radio plus hands free Bluetooth and USB.
This 5-door hatch is highly versatile with easily accessible back seats – perfect if you’re hitting the road with your mates on-board. Boot space is pretty extensive for a small car at around 300 litres capacity. You won’t have any trouble fitting the weekly shop in and, if necessary, two back seats fold down to expand capacity to 1,146 litres. Stacks of room for your gear come festival season!
The 5-door Clio may be a smidgen bigger than the average supermini but its budget-friendly running costs mean it’s a genuinely frugal car to own. Not only is the Clio competitively priced, it’s impressively fuel efficient, offering 50 miles per gallon, and low CO2 emissions mean road tax won’t be too extortionate. And the cost-cutting doesn’t end there - the Clio’s clever Stop Start technology automatically cuts the engine whenever the car’s stationary, adding even more efficiency to a thrifty package.
The Clio has long been top of the class when it comes to safety and the latest generation certainly doesn’t skimp on safety features. Electronic stability control, anti-lock brakes and emergency braking assistance all come as standard, along with front and side airbags for both the driver and passenger and seatbelt reminders for front and back seats. No wonder the Clio scored a near-flawless 99% NCAP rating for Safety Assist.
