Insurance Group 10, The Renault Clio is a fivedoor supermini thats been a household name in the UK since the early 1990s (you may remember the advertising featuring Nicole and Papa), competing for sales with a wide variety of very competent rivals. Its certainly popular, with more than a million of them finding homes in the UK since it was introduced, and this is the fourthgeneration model boasting stylish looks, economical turbocharged TCe petrol and dCi diesel engines, a practical interior and a good drive. With threedoor cars falling out of favour with buyers, Renault made the decision to make this Clio fivedoor only, but has cleverly disguised the rear door handles so it looks like a sleeker model when viewed sideon. Putting the door handle in the rear pillar does dramatically reduce rear visibility though. But are all these stylish features, economical engines and a spacious interior enough to see off its rivals? It has got plenty to defeat, including the Ford Fiesta, Peugeot 208, Vauxhall Corsa, Volkswagen Polo, SEAT Ibiza and Skoda Fabia. Not to mention lesscommon models like the Citroen C3, Hyundai i20 and Mazda 2.The Clio couldnt be anything other than a Renault, featuring a look thats similar to every other car in the range, with similarly sharp lights to the Kadjar crossover and a dashboard similar to the one in the Captur. Having a fivedoor body is more practical, while the car sits lower and wider than the version it replaced, which contributes to a lower centre of gravity and makes the car feel more grown up and safe on the road. When it was introduced however, Renault injected a little fun into the car, with various bright colour options and customisation packs to personalise the Clio including a selection of door mirror caps, grille bars, rear panel skirts, lower door protectors and wheel finishes, as well as a choice of roof graphics. To create a more bespoke interior, there was a menu of options regarding the dashboard, door panels, steering wheel, grab handles, gear lever surround, air vent bezels, upholstery materials and optional floor mats. However, this has now been consolidated into just a few options that come in much more muted tones a sign that people dont necessarily want all these wacky features. Avoiding crazy colours should help make the car more desirable to the dealer if you hand it back at the end of the finance contract, and easier to sell on if you buy it outright. .1.2L Storage Shelf Above Glovebox, 12V Power Socket, 16in Alloy Wheels Passion Chrome, 2x Storage Spaces for 2 Cups and Miscellaneous Items near Handbrake, 4L Front Glovebox, 7in Touch Screen, ABS Anti Lock Brakes, Air Conditioning Manual, Airbags Driver, Airbags Front Lateral, Airbags Front Passenger, Airbags Front Passenger Deactivation, Airbags Thorax, Anti Drill Door Locks, Arkamys 4x20W Radio and Handsfree Technology Renault Bass Reflex System, Automatic Windscreen Wipers with Rain Sensors, Bluetooth Connectivity, Bumpers Body Coloured, Bumpers Front Gloss Black with Chrome Surround, Centre Console Gloss Black, Chrome Instrument Dial Surrounds, Cruise Control with Speed Limiter, CSV Understeer Control, Dashboard Soft Touch Dark Carbon, Deadlocking, Diamond Black, Door Handles Body Coloured Front, Door Handles Interior Chrome, Door Handles Interior Matt Black Surround, Door Mirrors Electrically Adjustable Manual Folding and Heated, Door Mirrors Gloss Black Housing, EBA Emergency Brake Assist, EBD Electronic Brake Distribution, Eco Mode, Electric Windows Front with Anti Pinch, ESC Electronic Stability Control, ETC Electronic Traction Control, Exterior Chrome Touches Side Door Boot Lid Strip and Front Grille Strips, Fingertip Remote Control, Front Fog Lights, Front Speaker Surrounds Gloss Black with Red Bass Reflex Logo, Fuel Computer, Gear Change Indicator, Gear Gaiter Surround Gloss Black, Gear Knob Chrome, Gloss Black Front and Side Air Vents Surrounds, Gloss Black Surround Front Speakers with Logo, Handsfree Keycard with Push Button StartStop Function, Handsfree Technology and Renault Bass Reflex System, Headlights Automatic On, Headlights Black Surrounds, Headlights Daytime Running Lights, Headrests Front Height Adjustable, Headrests Rear x3, Heating System with Pollen Filter, HSA Hill Start Assist, ISOFIX Child Seat Fixing Points Outer Rear Seats, Lane Change Function, Lightly Tinted Windows, Lower Door Protector Black Gloss with Chrome Insert, Navteq Nav n Go Satellite Navigation, OnBoard Multimedia System, Passenger Dashboard Storage with AntiSlip Carpet, Power Assisted Steering Electric Variable, Push Button Start, RAID Renault Anti Intruder Device, Rear Diffuser Black Gloss, Rear Spoiler Body Coloured, Remote Central Locking, Renault MediaNav Intergrated on Board Multimedia System inc 7in Touch Screen, Seatbelt Warning Sound, Seats 6040 Split Folding Re
