While investing heavily in electrification — the new Zoe is a good example — Renault has not forgotten alternative fuels. to prove it is the launch of the Renault Clio Bi-Fuel and Captur Bi-Fuel , the GPL variants of the two well - known models .
Long announced, the Renault Clio Bi-Fuel and Captur Bi-Fuel are now expanding even further a range that already had petrol, diesel, hybrid (in the case of the Clio) and plug-in hybrid (in the case of the Captur) variants .
Both rely on the 1.0 TCe, the three-cylinder turbo, with 100 hp and 160 Nm , this engine is associated with a five-speed manual gearbox.
The assets of the GPL

As far as the LPG system is concerned, it uses a tank with 32 l of capacity in the case of the Clio and with 40 liters of capacity in the Captur. These, together with the fuel tank, offer a range of more than 1000 km.
New interior architecture, "printed" by Clio — a positive evolution in every way.
Bearing in mind that the price per liter of LPG is around 40% lower than that of diesel, Renault estimates annual savings of around €450/year for customers who travel around 20 thousand kilometers annually using, mostly, LPG.
Another advantage of LPG is the fact that, according to Renault, the emission values are around 10% lower.
How much?
With regard to the Renault Clio Bi-Fuel , this will only be available in the Intens equipment version and see the price starts at 18,610 euros.
already the Renault Capture Bi-Fuel is offered in Zen and Exclusive equipment levels. the first one costs from 20,790 euros while the second is available for 22 590 euros.
It is also worth remembering that under the Renault vehicle scrapping incentive program, the incentive given for the purchase of a LPG model (1,250 euros) is higher than that given for a gasoline model (1,000 euros).
Update on April 14th at 11:16 am – due to an error in the data released the torque value of the Renault Captur appeared to be 170 Nm when it is 160 Nm.
