Everyone is already familiar with the lines of the new Renault Clio, but there are still those who have never seen the Estate version of this French utility vehicle.
At the end of January we published a rigorous review of the new Renault Clio (you can see it here), but Renault has already released photos of its “nothing boring” van. Renault wants to increase its share of the B-segment market, and for that, there is nothing better than launching a van version of this Clio. The design of this new generation Clio was one of the highlights of our evaluation of this French model, and as we can see in the images, the Estate version also promises not to disappoint.
The wheelbase from the van to the car remains unchanged, however the Clio Estate has a longer rear end, thus increasing the overall length of the car from 4,062mm to 4,262mm. As a result, there was also a "valent" increase in luggage space, going from 300 liters of capacity to 443 liters, which can be further extended to 1,380 liters with the lowering of the rear seats.
The engines on the Renault Clio Estate are the same as those on the “normal” Clio. The arrival of the new Estate on the European market is coming soon, very soon… Who knows, maybe as early as next March.
