Renault Clio (2027) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Good balance of comfort and fun	Rear seats could be roomier
Very decent for boot space	As yet unsure on prices and specs
Great infotainment system	No Renaultsport version planned

Quick Summary

The new Renault Clio, entering its sixth generation, features a dramatic styling overhaul with a larger body, aggressive front, and coupe-like roofline, while retaining its practical five-door setup. It offers impressive boot space of up to 391 litres and adequate rear passenger room, alongside an updated interior with quality materials and a class-leading infotainment system, especially in higher trims with Google software. Driving dynamics are direct and fun, with an efficient self-charging hybrid (1.8-litre, 158bhp) and a new 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine, both offering a comfortable and responsive ride.

Despite its UK launch being delayed until 2027, the Clio is expected to be priced similarly to the current model (£19,000-£26,000) and promises excellent running costs with the hybrid E-Tech achieving up to 72mpg (official) and around 55mpg in real-world driving. While it faces strong competition from other superminis and hybrids, its blend of efficiency, practicality, advanced tech, and engaging drive makes it a compelling all-rounder for those seeking a modern and well-equipped small car.

Best for: Drivers seeking a modern, efficient, and practical supermini with a great infotainment system, or those looking for a comfortable yet fun-to-drive small car.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising maximum rear passenger space, or those who need a car immediately (due to its 2027 UK launch).
