2017 (171) Renault Clio

This generation of Clio has a definite 'big car' feel to it, with luxurious features such as climate control and sat nav coming as standard on many models. The Clio certainly looks the part and stands out from many of it similar-sized rivals with its sporty, coupe-like profile. The interior is quite bold and innovative and comes with a nifty touchscreen infotainment system. There is a great driving position thanks to the multiple levels of adjustment in the drivers seat and steering wheel. There is over 300 litres of space in the boot which is among the best in its class and can be expanded to 1146 litres by folding the split rear seats. The light weight and strong steering of the car make it very responsive and enjoyable to drive while the mainstream engine line up give acceptable performance for excellent economy - every Clio returns at least 50 miles per gallon.
