Renault Clio V

Subcompact Hatchback

Product Gallery

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% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autocar have found:

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

Reviewer score 81% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

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
