Your Guide to the New 2023 Renault Clio Esprit Alpine | 4K

The Renault Clio has been an uninterrupted hit since its launch in 1990 – and 16 million of them have been sold worldwide so far, over 1.1m of them being sold on UK shores! It has been named France’s favourite car, become an international bestseller and won two Car of the Year awards in Europe and loved by many as a city car icon. Many regard Clio to be one of the most emblematic city cars in the market, and being sold in five generations for over 30 years deems that to be more than true. Today, Clio welcomes a new reinvention for the modern world, becoming a perfect illustration of the Renault brand’s New Wave brimming with its latest breakthroughs. Its new style is even more compelling and elegant, and its chic and distinguished interior is ushering in a new cycle with the first rendering of the brand’s new design language. The new technical front radiates vigour, the light signature has been completely revamped and channels the brand’s identity, and the new taut, exact and efficient lines give this New Clio E-Tech full hybrid a more striking character and make it a vibrant status symbol with a more emotional feel. New Clio E-Tech full hybrid has also updated its technology, for instance bringing adaptive cruise control and heated seats and steering wheel to New Clio.

New Clio E-Tech full hybrid will come in a choice of trims including the new esprit Alpine. The latter’s one-of-a-kind sporty, techy and classy looks add intensity to a vehicle that encapsulates everything the Renaulution stands for.

"Clio’s success has never waned. It is France’s best-selling car ever – with 16 million sold worldwide. Now New Clio E-Tech full hybrid is taking the next step with its novel style and even sharper front face. The E-Tech Full Hybrid powertrain under the bonnet is a pleasure to drive and very economical: it delivers 145 hp and releases 93 grams of CO2 per km*. This efficient technology is here to support our customers’ energy transition in many countries."
Fabrice Cambolive, CEO, Renault Brand
* UK WLTP CO2 figures to be released in line with pricing

"Clio has enthralled us with every new generation: it has always catered to our wants and needs, kept up with the day’s trends and kept what makes it a Clio. It was important for us to be true to the values that this icon stands for. So we factored them all in, and translated them to speak to today’s conventions and introduce Renault’s new people-centric, tech-centric design. New Clio E-Tech full hybrid successfully combines generous shapes and chiselled volumes with very technical, structured, precise and efficient lines."
Gilles Vidal, Design Vice-President, Renault.

Great review Max, lovely little car and a sensible price too. Does the new Clio have a chain or rubber cam belt?

The shorter infotainment screen looks so much better. Sure, it doesn’t give as much screen estate, but it blends into the dash whereas the larger one just looks it was stuck onto the dash as an afterthought.

@7:16, small note, those 16" Boa Vista rims aren't alloys, they are steel wheels with hubcaps made to look like alloys, but are really just steel with plastic caps.

Does the Esprit Alpine come with floor mats?

[JordanGoucher]

When can we order the Esprit Trim Clio? And do you know the estimated delivery?

8:22 Overspeed prevention? How does it work? And can you turn it off? What if I'm overtaking?

[ksells]

Are you able to confirm if the esprit alpine trim has a 360 degree camera and parking assist? I noticed the buttons for it along with the front camera below the Renault logo but everywhere on their website just mentions a reversing camera only?

I can not wait to get my new clio evolution 2024

Good video. Will there be a new Captur soon? Not sure whether to order e-tech engineered Bose or wait for a potential new design

[daab]

Can I turn on the heating/ac through the app in this clip?

[umairyounas]

Where fuel button to open the tank. I could not find it

[bsdpowa]

seems like Clio is the only new model that you can get in petrol, all others are Retard Hybrid or pure electric. Shame, I really like Austral. Clio is a bit small but I have to say it looks really nice!
