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 grown-up supermini that delivers a comfortable, easy driving experience with impressive practicality. Following a major facelift in 2023, it 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 a range of modern technology, the Clio offers excellent value compared with rivals, particularly when opting for the efficient hybrid powertrain.

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. The Clio provides a pliant, comfortable ride and light controls, making it drama-free to drive, though it lacks the engaging handling of a Ford Fiesta. Insurance costs are competitive, and the car is priced aggressively against competitors, making it a sensible choice for budget-conscious buyers seeking style and efficiency.

Best for: Buyers seeking a stylish, comfortable supermini with good technology, those prioritising efficiency and low running costs, and drivers wanting excellent value for money.

Not ideal for: Those requiring spacious rear seats, drivers wanting an engaging and entertaining driving experience, or buyers who demand intuitive infotainment systems.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Clio if: You want a stylish, comfortable supermini with good technology, prioritise efficiency and low running costs, or seek excellent value for money.

Consider alternatives if: You need spacious rear seats, desire an engaging driving experience, or require an intuitive infotainment system.

Competitive Position: The Renault Clio (2023-present) is a strong contender in the supermini market, offering stylish design, comfort, and impressive value. Whilst the Peugeot 208 and Volkswagen Polo score higher with experts and offer more premium appeal, the Clio matches them on practicality and affordability. Its efficient hybrid powertrain and competitive pricing make it particularly compelling for budget-conscious buyers. The Vauxhall Corsa offers similar value but lacks the Clio's modern styling and technology. Overall, the Clio strikes an excellent balance between style, comfort, efficiency and cost, making it a sensible choice for those seeking a contemporary supermini without premium pricing.
