New phase is ‘stylishly refreshing’ for Renault Clio
From inception Clio’s reputation has been founded on its ability to cope with city motoring and open road long distance driving with equal ease.
WITH global sales in excess of 13 million units since launching in 1990, Renault Clio is the best-selling French car of all time.
It’s a success story that continued with fourth-generation Clio’s launch into more than 100 countries worldwide and into South Africa in April 2013.
Drawing inspiration directly from Renault’s DeZir concept car, the seductive and stylish new Renault Clio 4 was described as the ‘heir to one of the marque’s richest legacies’ and was the first model to feature the brand’s new design identity.
With front-end styling featuring a bolder version of its trademark diamond-shaped logo, an all-new engine and way ahead of its class rivals in terms of innovation and on-board technologies, Renault South Africa stated its intention to re-establish the model as one of the top performers in the highly competitive B-segment.
Around 20 000 CLIO 4 models have been sold since its 2013 launch in SA and, as predicted, the perennially popular ‘small car with the big attitude’ has consistently been a top five performer in its class.
On the outside, Renault’s refreshed, new Clio (phase 2) is more appealing than ever, courtesy of its full-LED lighting signature on the flagship version and the incorporation of stylish design cues and interior ambiances that exude quality.
With three equipment levels, the new Clio has been redesigned and redefined to win over both an existing and new customer base with a wide spectrum of requirements and expectations.
Sensuous and refined interior and exterior redesign elements combined with the inclusion of new technology usually associated with upper segment class vehicles, up new Clio’s looks and connectivity.
F1-inspired 66kW and 88kW Turbo petrol engines enhance pace and performance while maintaining impressive fuel consumption and CO² emission levels.
The range comprises the flagship Dynamique (66kW Turbo), mid-level Expression (66kW Turbo) and Expression EDC (88kW + EDC) models which come with the same 7” Touchscreen MediaNav® multi-media/navigation system.
The base-level Authentique (66kW Turbo) sees the introduction of the new R&GO® system with Smartphone Cradle.
