The new Renault Clio 2013 is just around the corner and, in general, it is much more up-to-date, much less boring and with a sportier and more elegant design.
These attributes put him back in the fight with his already modern rivals, such as the Ford Fiest, Volkswagen Polo, Citroën C3 or the brand new Peugeot 208. We just know that rivals will not rest, so will it be after 12 million units sold since 1990, will Clio continue to thrive?
The range of engines starts with a “modest” gasoline engine with 900cc and 90hp of power, then follows a 1.5 diesel also with 90hp and a 1.2 gasoline with 120hp. But the only engine we're completely looking forward to is the LOL , which will be equipped with a 1.6 turbo engine able to debit some phenomenal 200 hp of power.
The new Clio, like the Fiat 500, also enters the world of customization, with 3 types of design for the roof. Just choose… And like other brands, it will come with 3 exterior packs, the Elegant, the Sport and the Trendy.
The interior breathes quality and technology, now offering a touch screen with a navigation system and bluetooth, similar to the respective segment. The available space remains generous, and since it remains in the 5-door format there is no shortage of space at the rear.
Does the new Clio have enough attributes to take down the competition?
