Used Renault cars for sale

Used Renault cars buying guide 

If you want a used car that’s stylish, easy to live with and affordable to run, a Renault could be just what you’re looking for. There are lots of used Renaults to choose from, whether you want an affordable hatchback, a family-friendly SUV or a pure-electric car.

Renault is known for its fuel-efficient petrol and diesel engines, but many of its latest cars are offered with hybrid or plug-in hybrid power that could give you even lower running costs.

Which used Renault cars are for sale?

There’s a wide range of used Renault cars available, ranging from compact hatchbacks to seven-seat SUVs and MPVs.

The Clio is one of Renault’s most popular cars, thanks to its chic styling, affordable prices and low ownership costs. Next up is the Megane, which is available as a five-door hatchback or practical estate.

Renault’s range of SUVs stretches from the compact Captur to the large Koleos, with the Kadjar, Arkana and Austral in the middle. If you’re after something that’s even more family-friendly, with seven seats and a flexible interior, take a look at the Grand Scenic MPV.
You can choose from several hybrid and plug-in hybrid Renault cars, and a range of pure-electric cars.

Are there any hybrid or electric Renault models?

You’ll find a number of used Renault hybrid or electric cars to choose from. Although production of the pure-electric Renault Zoe stopped in March 2024, its popularity over 11 years means there are lots of used Zoe cars available. The other pure-electric Renault is the Megane E-Tech.

E-Tech is Renault’s name for a range of hybrid, plug-in hybrid and pure-electric cars. The Megane and Captur are available as plug-in hybrids, while the Clio, Captur, Arkana and Austral are available as full hybrids, also known ‘self-charging’ hybrids.
