    VW has completlely lost its way with their quality and pricing. The chinese brands are flooding the market and I don’t care because the old brands were not adopting. However Renault and Peugeot are actally producing really good cars now. Renault keeping the Clio alive and offering petrol and hybrid is a move I’m all for.

      Where are these Chinese cars? I few MGs is all I see. Or maybe you’re referring to everything being made in China.

    Surely it costs car manufacturers more in manufacturering to fit different sized screens across their ranges, or even stick with analogue dials on cheaper models. Screens are cheap and cost doesnt vary much by size.

    Nice to see Renault is committed to the affordable supermini market. Will pick up sales from the discontinued Ford Fiesta and ever more expensive Japanese car makers. Ace review as always.

    I think 90bhp in a Clio is going to be painful. They’re not as lightweight as they used to be.

      Not as painful as 64 in the Picanto I got. But yeah would be cool to have a 120 or so petrol

    It’s interesting that we seem to be all moving over too automatic cars from manuals.
    Looks a lot smarter but not sure I could trust French electrics.

      Full hybrids cannot work with manual transmissions. There is basically two different powertrains which needs to be matched and power need to seamlessly transition form one to the other.

    I like the Clio a lot – it’s a good looking car and the interior is nice blend of tech and traditional controls along with a quality look. Who would have thought Renault would be leading VW in interior quality and design. Impressive !

      @@paulgraves7949 I don’t doubt the Clio is a better drive.
      However the Sandero and Clio are closley related. Just the Sandero cheaps out on shock absorbers and suspension hence the road holding isnt as good.
      Not sure about the weight difference between the two.
      The build quality isnt that much different between both.
      Same Steering wheel, heater controls. there is a lot shared between them.

    Had a 1 litre petrol one for 3 years. Loved it. Really attractive inside and out. Bose speakers were good, orange colour was gorgeous, and I really wanted to keep it, but at 6ft 4 I just could not enjoy long drives at all.

    The hybrid never made any sense to me, a thirsty 1.6 naturally aspirated petrol will ruin any decent mpg figure from the battery/motor. The new 1.2 turbo hybrid on the Austral should be a better option for this car surely, but probably too expensive for them to facilitate.

    Anyway I’m getting 60+ mpg in my diesel captur and it’s much comfier, I’ll just miss chucking it round corners. The petrol clio really is as fun to drive as a fiesta.

    If buying a hybrid I’d go for the Toyota Yaris proven reliability and up to 10 years 100,000 mile warranty if you have it serviced by Toyota. If that Clio hybrid goes wrong out of warranty it’s going to cost you.

    Nice review. I ordered a Clio 1.6 Esprit Alpine two days ago in ceramic grey metallic having test driven it. Lovely drive & packed with kit – not to mention the excellent mpg. Dealer says July delivery – which is 6 months away. I guess that’s the modern way with new cars. Looking forward to taking delivery.

    In South Africa we have something called a Polo Vivo. Previous gen polo, stripped off some specs and sold almost 50% off new polo.

    Physical dials and a reasonable sized screen combined in a sensible way? what a miracle. This seems like a promising option in the market, especially if the hybrid is as good as on paper

    Picked up a cancelled order esprit alpine hybrid in blue last week. Recommending the 1.0 is ridiculous. Most will do PCP and the hybrid will be worth much more in 3 to 4 years. I drive sensible and average 55mpg which for the bad weather we have had is pretty good
