Cracking little car. We bought it for our son who is 6’ 3”” and there’s plenty of space in it. Great little runner. Would highly recommend.

Good styling and SPEC. But as with all Renault vehicles poor build quality and high depreciation.

Renault Clio (2026) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Stylish looks and chic image | Rear seat space rather tight |
| Comfortable and easy to drive | Infotainment could be better |
| Plenty of tech available | Entry-level trim is a bit basic |
Quick Summary
The Renault Clio is a long-running French supermini that has been a familiar sight on British roads since 1990, with over one million sold in Britain. The current model is an extensively updated version of the fifth-generation car, featuring a major 2023 facelift with refreshed styling inspired by newer Renault models. The simplified range focuses on efficiency and electrification, with all diesel engines dropped in favour of a turbocharged petrol and a self-charging hybrid option. It competes with popular superminis such as the Volkswagen Polo, Peugeot 208, Skoda Fabia, Citroën C3 and Toyota Yaris.
The Clio offers a grown-up driving experience with a pliant, comfortable ride and light controls, making it an easy car to drive. The 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine delivers eager acceleration, whilst the E-Tech hybrid combines a 1.6-litre petrol engine with an electric motor for 143bhp and impressive efficiency of up to 65.7mpg. With a generous 391-litre boot (301 litres for the hybrid), four trim levels from Generation to Iconic Esprit Alpine, and competitive insurance costs, the Clio provides excellent value. Running costs are economical, with the hybrid particularly compelling for budget-conscious buyers.
Best for: Buyers seeking a stylish, comfortable and easy-to-drive supermini with good fuel economy, those interested in hybrid technology, and drivers prioritising value for money.
Not ideal for: Passengers requiring generous rear legroom, those wanting the most engaging driving dynamics, or buyers seeking the most intuitive infotainment system.
Comparison vs Key Rivals
| Vehicle | CarGurus Expert Rating | CarGurus User Rating | Good/Great deals % | Overall CarGurus Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Renault Clio | 3/5 | 4.7/5 | 38.5% | 4.3/5 |
| Peugeot 208 | 3/5 | 5.0/5 | 44.1% | 4.3/5 |
| Volkswagen Polo | 4/5 | 4.5/5 | 37.2% | 4.5/5 |
| Vauxhall Corsa | 3/5 | 4.5/5 | 45.5% | 4.3/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the Clio if: You want a stylish, comfortable and easy-to-drive supermini with good fuel economy, are interested in hybrid technology, or prioritise value for money.
Consider alternatives if: You need generous rear legroom, want the most engaging driving dynamics, or require the most intuitive infotainment system.
Competitive Position: The Renault Clio is a solid, sensible and stylish choice in the competitive supermini sector. It provides a grown-up driving experience, economical engine choices and a smartly-trimmed cabin dominated by digital screens and plenty of tech. Whilst it isn't the most practical car of its type, nor the cheapest or most exciting, it performs well across all areas. The hybrid powertrain is particularly compelling for buyers seeking efficiency, and its aggressive pricing compared with rivals such as the Volkswagen Polo makes it an attractive proposition. The Peugeot 208 and Vauxhall Corsa offer better value deals, whilst the Polo provides a more premium feel and superior driving dynamics.
