Presented in March at the Geneva Motor Show, the fifth generation of the Renault Clio arrives in the Portuguese market in September and the responsibility it carries is great. After all, the French model is the absolute sales leader in the Portuguese market, despite the growing success of SUVs.
Developed based on the CMF-B platform (which it shares with the new Captur), the Clio will be available in Portugal with a total of four engines (two petrol and two Diesel) and four levels of equipment: Intens, RS Line, Exclusive and Initiale Paris.
The gasoline offer consists of the 1.0 TCe three-cylinder, 100 hp and 160 Nm and no 1.3 TCe 130 hp and 240 Nm. The Diesel offer is based on the Blue dCi in the 85 hp and 115 hp variants with 220 Nm and 260 Nm of torque, respectively.
How much will it cost?
The most affordable version of the Clio, the Intens with the 1.0 TCe engine of 100 hp starts at 17,790 euros . As a comparison, in the generation that will cease to function, the cheaper version, which is still available — the Zen version with the TCe90 engine — starts at €16,201, that is, it is about €1500 cheaper.
