Idlala ekhaya, ibrendi yaseFransi iRenault yenza isizukulwana se-4 seClio ibe yeyona nto ibalulekileyo kumboniso weParis Motor. Akumangalisi, le modeli ubukhulu becala ixhomekeke kwikamva layo.
Kulo shicilelo lwe-2012 ye-Paris Motor Show, inkwenkwezi enkulu kwindawo yokuma ye-brand yaseFransi yayiyi-Renault Clio 2013. Ibonakaliswe kwiinguqulelo ze-5-door kunye ne-van yosapho, isithuthi esincinci esisetyenziswayo sasiyinkosi kunye nenkosi. Ukwabelana ngokukhazimla ngeClio RS 200 ekhethekileyo.
Ihlaziywe ngokupheleleyo ukusuka phezulu ukuya ezantsi, siqaqambisa i-absolute debut ye-898cc turbo injini yepetroli kuluhlu lweRenault. Injini eya kusebenza njengesango kuluhlu lweClio. Kwaye ungacingi ukuba ngenxa yokuba yeyona njini iphantsi kwiClio, izakuba namandla angaphantsi. Ngokuchasene noko, le bloko encinci ilawula ukuphuhlisa i-90hp yamandla enomdla kunye ne-135Nm.
Ngaphezulu kwamanani aneleyo okuhambisa iClio encinci malunga nemihla ngemihla, okanye kwii-tirades ezinde ngaphandle kwesibheno okanye ukunyusa. Ukusetyenziswa kulandela ifilosofi efanayo "yokunciphisa ubungakanani" benjini kwaye iphakathi kakhulu, iilitha ezi-4.3 nje nge-100km. Ukukhutshwa kweCO2 kuma-99g/km.
Kodwa injini ekufuneka iphumelele ngakumbi ePortugal iya kuba yiyunithi ye-1.5 DCI ene-90hp kunye nesisa kakhulu se-220Nm ye-torque ephezulu. Uphawu lwesiFrentshi lubhengeza ukusetyenziswa kwe "parakeet" kule nguqulo. Iilitha ezi-3.2 kuphela nge-100km, iyamangalisa ngokwenene.
Kwaye iRenault ayibalibali abo bafuna isithuthi esilungele kancinci kwizithuthi okanye kwindlela yelizwe, kwaye ke ngoko embindini wonyaka ozayo iRenault iza kuxhobisa le modeli ngenjini yepetroli eyi-1.2 Tce. Injini encinci ye-turbocharged ene-120hp ethembisa ukonwabisa abo bafuna into "eqinisiweyo" ngakumbi.
Ukuba amandla ayahluka ngokuxhomekeke kwi-injini, kukho iimpawu ezinqumle kulo lonke uluhlu. Ndithetha umzekelo woyilo. Inomtsalane ngakumbi kwaye iphunyezwe kakuhle kunezizukulwana ezidlulileyo, kwaye inesibindi kakhulu kunokhuphiswano oluthe ngqo, iRenault yenze kakuhle ukukhetha iClio ukuba iqale ngolwimi lwayo olutsha lwesimbo.
Enye into ebalulekileyo yinkqubo ye-multimedia ye-R-Link equka isikrini se-LED ye-7-intshi kunye nenkqubo yokukhangela ye-TomTom edibeneyo. Inkqubo ebeka phakathi imisebenzi emininzi yemoto, kwaye evumela okokuqala emotweni ukukhuphela usetyenziso oluthile, njengeefowuni eziphathwayo.
Uphawu lwesiFrentshi aluzange luyenze into encinane. I-Clio 2013 yimveliso equlunqwe kakuhle kakhulu kuyo yonke imbono. Ngoko ke, akumangalisi ukuba uphawu lucinga esidlangalaleni ukuba lunenjongo yokulahla into eye yaba yinkokeli kwi-B segment: iVolkswagen Polo. Siqinisekile ukuba, ukuba isixa samalungu sinika isiphumo esisilindileyo, ukhuphiswano luya kuba nendongomane enzima kakhulu yokuqhekeka apha...
