“The Renault Clio is already a big hit and the addition of clever hybrid technology only strengthens the supermini’s position as one of the very best in its class. Being able to achieve upwards of 60mpg in the real world, without needing to make any major compromise, is truly impressive.”

“The paucity of hybrid superminis reflects the challenge of producing them, technically and economically. But Renault’s hard work shows it can be done with little compromise. With smooth refinement and improved economy, it’s a compelling option.”

“This expensive range-topping engine with its automatic gearbox isn’t the finest in the Renault Clio range, but go a bit further down the trim level list and you’ll have one of the finest superminis on sale today.”

“The Renault Clio is a small hatchback with a plush-feeling cabin and a very practical boot, but it doesn’t look as eye-catching or feel as comfortable to drive as some alternatives.”

“Renault has delivered an excellent package with the new Clio. The quality of the materials in the cabin are particularly good and aside from some road noise intrusion, the driving experience is close to the best in the supermini sector.”

“With its neat looks, the premium feel to the interior, keen drive and affordable pricing, even in R.S Line trim, the Renault Clio looks like a serious contender in the supermini sector. Although we’d prefer a manual option and more affordable Clio trims such ‘Iconic’ might be a better fit for fleet.”

“It might not be the most fun or comfortable small car, but the Renault Clio is reasonably comfortable and handles tidily enough, especially with the 1.3-litre engine under the bonnet. However, the Clio’s attractive high-quality interior is one of the most appealing in the class and it has a huge boot.”

“Hybrid technology offers some big benefits, notably punchy performance and impressive fuel economy. The high-quality cabin and good driving experience are boons, too. Overall, we think the E-Tech is the best model in the Renault Clio range – even if it’s also the most expensive.”

“Despite the mild style update, the all-new Clio is a real improvement over the outgoing car. Interior quality and the technology available are particular highlights. However, a lack of refinement, limited space in the back and poor visibility means it’s not as good overall as the best small hatchbacks we’ve tested.”
