Renault Clio V Hatchback (2019)

Product Overview
Renault Clio V is an affordable subcompact hatchback in production from 2019. It is available with a range of inline-3 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.0 to 1.6 liters.
Compared to its predecessor, the Mk5 has only incremental styling changes, though its engines are modified with more complexity and worse projected reliability.
The official fuel economy rating is exceptionally rosy, though it may cast more doubts on the trustworthiness of the regulators and perhaps the owner's own sanity than it relates to reality.
Another plus is the small 10.4m (34.1ft) turning circle.

Reviewer score 40%Renault claims 80% of urban driving in the Clio E-Tech will be done in EV mode and that improves around-town fuel economy by about 40%. We saw about 50mpg on an uncalibrated fuel economy meter. There are several driving modes: Eco, which prioritises battery electric drive up to about 44mph if there is sufficient charge. Hybrid, which blends petrol and electric motors for maximum economy; and Sport, which priorities performance.

Pros
- Powerful petrol engine
- Comfortable to drive
- Good fuel economy
Cons
- No automatic gearbox
- Fiddly infotainment system
autocar[2]
Reviewer score 72%The E-Tech hybrid powertrain in this Clio features technology ‘inspired’ by Formula 1. The powertrain is based around a 1.6-litre engine that’s boosted by two electric motors. Both electric motors are charged via recaptured energy stored in a small, 1.2kWh battery.

Pros
- Superb ride and handling
- Impressive fuel economy
Cons
- Pricier than comparable superminis
- No hybrid option
autoexpress[3]
Reviewer score 81%The Renault Clio is one of the best options in its class. Uprated infotainment, with 7-inch or 9.3-inch central touchscreens, feels lightyears ahead of the slow, clunky and confusing system used on the old model. Standard equipment also helps push the Renault to the top of its class: all Clios come as standard with LED headlights and auto-folding mirrors.

Pros
- Best-in-class cabin
- Excellent infotainment
- Excellent standard equipment
Cons
- Lack of practicality
autoexpress[4]
Reviewer score 74%All versions of the Clio feature a central display angled towards the driver, underlined by a row of rocker switches. Iconic cars get a proper seven-inch display with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Space up front is good but the passenger seat sits tall. The 391-litre boot is a very good size and the opening is wide too, but there's a huge lip.

Pros
- More fun to drive
- New infotainment system
- Decent fuel economy
Cons

- Lack of standard equipment
autoexpress[5]
Reviewer score 79%The Renault Clio has been around for 30 years, and it has never been better than this latest generation of the French runabout. Arriving in UK showrooms this month is an all-new variant, the E-Tech Hybrid, which becomes one of only a handful of hybrid superminis. The engine is a 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol but it's supplemented by two electric motors, a small 1.2kWh battery and an F1-style clutchless gearbox.

Pros
- Powerful hybrid powertrain
- Comfortable to drive
- Excellent infotainment system
Cons
- Cheap to buy and run
- No clutchless gearbox
autoexpress[6]
Reviewer score 82%With a 391-litre boot, practicality is great for a supermini. The Clio easily swallowed a chunky buggy, pram and bags. There's plenty of space up front, with a comfortable driving position. The Renault is fun to drive, with sharp and precise steering.

Pros
- Comfortable to drive
- Stylish looks
- Decent fuel economy
Cons
- Bootlid design is irritating
- No volume knob
autoexpress[7]
Reviewer score 71%The French supermini is one of the more pragmatic choices in this sector. It still represents great value for money, and adds refinement, comfort and strong technology to its positives. Since its launch in 2019, when the Mk5 Renault Clio went straight to the top of its class, Renault has streamlined the range.

Pros
- Good value for money

Cons
- Lack of tech
- Not as fun to drive as rivals
carmagazine[8]
Reviewer score 78%The E-Tech model wears Play trim (£19,595), with standard Bluetooth phone connectivity, lane keep assist and traffic sign monitoring. Trim upgrades come in £1000 steps, with Iconic adding 16-inch alloys, keyless entry and 7.0-inch touchscreen. The official mpg figure is 64.2mpg, with 98-99g/km of CO2 emissions.

carmagazine[9]
Reviewer score 78%The interior of the new Clio is very different, and much better. The plastics and cloth used are better, and the swoopier, more curved, more horizontal design of the dash adds to the impression of width. The standout feature up front is the central touchscreen that comes as standard on higher-spec Clios. With the rear seats up, the boot is now the biggest in its class, at 391-litres.
