Renault Clio (2023-present) 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 (2023-present) is a stylish and sophisticated supermini that delivers a grown-up driving experience with impressive practicality. The facelifted model features refreshed styling inspired by newer Renault models, a simplified trim structure, and a focus on efficiency and electrification. With a spacious 391-litre boot and comfortable, easy-to-drive character, the Clio offers a pliant ride, calm refinement and light controls that make it drama-free on the motorway and around town. The cabin is dominated by digital screens and plenty of technology across its four trim levels.

Two engine options are available: a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol producing 90bhp, and the E-Tech self-charging hybrid combining a 1.6-litre petrol engine with an electric motor for 143bhp. The hybrid achieves up to 65.7mpg and 98g/km CO2 emissions, whilst the petrol manages 54.3mpg and 118g/km. Competitively priced against rivals and with low insurance costs, the Clio represents solid value. Whilst it isn't the most practical or exciting supermini, it excels in all areas and appeals particularly to those seeking an economical, stylish and refined daily driver.

Best for: Buyers seeking a stylish, comfortable and refined supermini with good technology, those prioritising efficiency through the hybrid option, and drivers wanting a grown-up driving experience.

Not ideal for: Those needing maximum rear seat space, buyers wanting the most intuitive infotainment system, or drivers seeking the most engaging and exciting handling characteristics.
