The supermini segment has always housed interestingly designed vehicles. The new Renault Clio supermini is a perfect example of how this trend is continuing.
The new Clio combines Renault's chic new design language with the snug feel of a supermini, ultimately creating the perfect competitor for the new breed of Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa.
But as with most superminis, the new Renault Clio will have to prove it can handle each and every aspect of supermini competition - from practicality to efficiency.

i love this new Clio! the design ... is brilliant!

[@janrdoh]

Did you dress to match the car or was it just co-incidence .

[@livc44411]

+1 review!

[@TheShotokanWarrior]

ITS a good Starters car, IMO! ;) Love it.

[@CarKeysUKOfficial]

haha! It was coincidental but it does look planned! What are your thoughts on the new Clio then?

[@skidrowdie]

A friend has this car and overall it's a pretty nice car.

[@pablodz81]

nice review i like hopw you show the good and the b ad points , still , this car is perfect for me, i just need the money now

[@KHGuitarFreak1988]

I do have to say, just like the Renault Megane RS 265 (presumably on all the Renault range for the current models), it bugs me quite a bit when they have not moved the start/stop button over to the driver's side for the right hand drive conversions. I mean, the freaking start button is on the other side of the centre panel... :\

[@dakiwi40]

i must say best review of this car on you tube IMO - we are considering the dynamique s option as trade up from my mrs beloved fiat 500 - we have also driven corsa / fiesta / swift - and the clio wins us over on looks / options available / boot space - the big issue is we are looking to trade in our 500 and the trade in price and the Renault APR on finance of 7% apr makes this a very expensive option say if we stayed with a option from fiat @ 3-5%apr

[@Leodenche]

I LOVE CLIO

[@hybridangel3403]

Can I get a umbrella fold buggy in the boot and a few bags of shopping? Or would I be better with a captur?

[@titus.ugrin91]

The car that you were driving had a 0.9 tce 90bhp engine, not a 1.2 75bhp ! And it did not have the R-link, it had the Media-Nav. Read the brochure mate.

[@janrdoh]

Funky nice looking car ,If I was in the market for this sort of car I would probably buy one but only with a bigger engine .

[@paulmolyneux9503]

Anyone know the music at the begining?

[@w-james9277]

That dose look nice, I still have a 2005 clio and its MPG is shit and the interior is made of plastic but it is really nice to drive, small enough to fit into tight spaces and was really cheap when I bought it.

[@laroucheroi]

love this car

[@luisalbertomarinrobayo2690]

Muy elegante y bonito

[@KHGuitarFreak1988]

I might have to try out the Sport version... XD

[@newscarrelease4629]

wish this car so cool

[@Hannah591]

Great review video, one of the best I've seen about this car! Unfortunately this car costs about £155 in tax now due to recent government changes.

[@livdinion]

how will tall drivers manage in this small car?i'm 1.93,i think it's 6.2 or 6.3 converted in imperial.And how is the 75 bhp 1.5 dci to drive?

[@buca9696]

Manual windows, less electricals to go wrong.

[@chrisbest1000]

$300AUD and you get electric package..plus its pretty cheap in Australia for what you get.

[@gorgonzo1a]

Not on Renault, they are attached by a steel cable which can rust and snap. dont think you get around it by electrical windows cus renault use cheapest materials for the electrical harness.

[@chrisbest1000]

gorgonzo1a Not as cheap as your grammar.

[@gorgonzo1a]

get over yourself and try some more cars, Renault really is low end quality.

[@chrisbest1000]

gorgonzo1a for the price of it in Australia, the gear level is up there. I have owned a couple of cars already, so cheers.

[@mattnutt2738]

Ordered mine. Clio Dynamique S in white with black trim. Got mine in diesel. :)

[@Wayneandjayswildadventures]

I'm thinking about ordering tomorrow, flame red, but I really want the r-link system.the one they have available don't have it grrrr

[@kenhignett1341]

How’s it going after 4 years have you had problems

[@jamessaunders4265]

@@kenhignett1341 My mom has had hers for 2 years and she had it brand new and no problems at all. It does only have 8k miles on the clock though but the only thing she has had to spend on it is fuel (obviously) and servicing. Every time she has it serviced at the dealer they tell her that it is like a new car since she looks after it so well.

[@PC-ij3sh]

nice car I'm loving it

[@jan267]

that's not the r link, is just smart nav...

[@olbrzym11]

1:22 Aww.. It is not an R-link!!! It is standard Media Nav system. I have watched maybe 5 or 6 reviews and in every single one reviewer named Media NAV an R-Link. What is wrong with you guys?

[@gorgonzo1a]

If you are going to buy this car, whatever you do, get the four cylinder engine instead of the standard 3cyl that is rubbish, horrible noise and it shakes the car about when idling. also you can only have auto transmission with the 3cyl

[@japanpower4676]

does it work with android

[@maximc7089]

Would have been a better video if we could actually see the car. Black car, black interior, dark day and no lighting. Great combination!

[@TheShotokanWarrior]

awww the windows... just killed the experience.

[@eddiej1980]

4:45… 8 years later. The Ford Fiesta has an underside like a tea bag whilst the clio looks like new. That’s the difference

[@virgin26]

Plus the Ecoboost engines are rubbish

[@Dreadzedan]

A truly masculine looking supermini

[@RWL2012]

I have the same 1.2 16V 75 engine in my 04-plate Clio, it was introduced in 2001... and it's in a bigger heavier car so of course it's going to feel underpowered!

[@RWL2012]

Anyway as others have pointed out, this is actually the 0.9 TCe 90 turbocharged three-cylinder so should perform just fine...

[@MrAnders1976]

The newer 2013 Clio is actually lighter than the previous model.. But they must have changed the gearing to make it more economical but made it accelerate slower..

[@RWL2012]

Ahh yes they offer it in both a "regular" engine and "Eco" version

[@lovenessngwana9988]

I saw this car on this KZbin And I bought it brand new I feel like I am on the moon. I really enjoy everything in it. Thanks renault, you made it my way

[@ShepherdDAD]

Letsatsi Makua is it worth it? Hows the mpg?

[@tyadin]

its awsum

[@richl]

Oho black Betty ))

[@RWL2012]

diesel does MPG in the late 80s? yeah right, just those greatly exaggerated lab figures...

[@PerplexedTheta]

Diesel engines are more efficient. Just a fact. They're also filthy and a cunt to maintain, we know six years later ;) 0,9L turbo unit is where its at. Same horsepower and still has great l/100km (mpg)!

[@zachtamele7356]

my carr

[@Sebibo31]

Always 4 stars..,. Cmon

[@StrallyMan]

THIS CAR IS TOO SEXY, BETTER THAN CORSAAA

[@Thanos2274]

who is this is ,,,SONG,,,??

[@danludvigsen1974]

only a few more days till i get my clio 0.9 expression with clima/rain sensor/key-free.

[@Rottensteam]

I test drove it today, great little car. The steering is spot on!

[@livdinion]

pretty expensive,only the base model is cheap.I don't like the 0.9 tce and the 1.2 tce is out of my price range.With these prices i'm willing to incline to a peugeot 208 1.2 vti.Oh and those plastics on the steering wheel seem very cheap and kitsch

[@SandroGarcia96]

Who had the idea to shoot a black car in black background?

[@Whiponized]

Good first car?

[@scarsolp]

Got it as my first car about a month ago and I love it

[@Whiponized]

Scarso u must be very very extremely rich

[@thodoriskaramourat8462]

I prefer the captur than clio

[@GETTHEDEUCE]

-I remember proper cars where you needed your wits about you to drive, now we have a sat nav screen to take your eyes off the road, cup holders to make sure you drive with one hand while drinking a coffee & blue tooth phones to distract you while you talk to your wife about what’s to eat when you get home, thank god for mobile phones & technology

[@dazzamcg2369]

i think most of the population steer with one hand with the other resting somewhere anyway even in a basic car but for the rest yeah

[@noelsandberg8774]

Ideology Arab army life play.

[@lightningleaf23]

Annoying Wirral accent

[@xxxkurikurixxx]

ur jacket much more better than thise car

[@Benny8940]

I hate hidden door handles. It spoils the looks. Why do they do it?

[@dieselmiro7241]

Bullshit, it's the worst car ever ! everything is rubbish and not comfy

[@magrev69]

French cars are crap i would never buy another one.

[@paulmolyneux9503]

Anyone know the music at the begining?
