2023 RENAULT CLIO E-TECH ENGINEERED HEV A

While Ford is killing off the Fiesta for good Renault is sticking by the Clio, this refreshed version introducing a new design language expressed with sharper looks and improved onboard technology. While you can still for now buy it with a regular petrol engine Renault is pushing hard with the hybrid version it introduced previously, this being one of the few electrified cars in its class and a convincing alternative to the likes of the similarly hybridised Toyota Yaris. Renaults system works differently and claims a direct technology transfer from F1, the crisp response matched with excellent fuel economy and no need for plugging in. This and its impressive refinement make it a very appealing package. Renault has a strong track record for safety and, indeed, the extra kit you get over the related Dacia Sandero is one reason for spending a bit more for the Clio. As standard you get automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, the nifty distance warning that turns from green to red if youre not leaving enough room to the car ahead, rear parking sensors and lane departure warning. Credit to the steering tweaking assistance as well its usually the first thing we turn off but in the Clios case it was unobtrusive enough to leave in place.
