Our quick take
Renault Clio RenaultSport 200 Turbo EDC Lux - 4.0 / 5
Vive la difference
Turbo power
A gearbox full of moans
The perfect compromise for UK roads
A nicer place to spend time
To recap
Renault reinvents the sporty Clio. It’s out with the hot hatch standard tick list, and in with a new 5-door, turbo charged, auto gearbox-only model. The gearbox (particularly the paddles) is a dud, but elsewhere there’s much to like about the new Clio. It’s far easier to live with on the day to day grind, but importantly it’s still up for a bit of fun when you are.
