The Renault Clio has been a well-known name since it first arrived in 1990. In the small hatchback category, it has always been a favorite choice, especially for people who want a practical, comfortable, and budget-friendly car for daily use. Renault has now confirmed that a brand-new version of the Clio will be launched in 2027. This model will be larger, sportier, and equipped with modern technology compared to its predecessor.

Design and Models

This sixth-generation Clio is slightly bigger than before. The front grille is smaller with a sharper bonnet, giving it a bolder look. At the back, flowing lines, hidden rear door handles, and a black spoiler add a sportier feel. Renault will offer seven body colors, including two new shades: “Absolute Red” and “Absolute Green.” For the UK market, it will come in three trims: Evolution, Techno, and Esprit Alpine.

Interior and Comfort

Inside, Renault has kept the design modern yet simple. Two 10.1-inch screens are angled toward the driver for infotainment and display purposes. The steering wheel is the same as in other Renault models like the Austral. A dedicated “Multi-Sense” button makes switching between drive modes easier. The cabin is spacious enough for five passengers, with multiple storage compartments for everyday items. The lower boot lip design makes loading larger luggage more convenient than before.

Engine Options and Performance

The new Clio will have two engine options. The first is a hybrid setup that combines a 1.8-liter petrol engine with two electric motors and a 1.4kWh battery, producing 160 horsepower. Renault claims it can deliver up to 72 mpg. The second option is a 1.2-liter petrol engine producing 115 horsepower, paired with a manual gearbox. The previous Clio averaged around 55 mpg in real-world use, so it will be interesting to see how efficient this new version proves.

Price and Release

The all-new Clio will officially launch in 2027. While Renault hasn’t confirmed pricing yet, it is expected to start from around £20,000.
