New Renault Clio E-TECH Hybrid Test Drive Review POV 2021

[@DroopyPiles]

Being from the UK, I usually avoid videos on left hand drives. But this has shown me more about the car than any UK videos. Excellent job!

[@SDADanCars]

Thanks for feedback my friend really appreciate 👍 🙏 🙂Happy was helpful

[@DroopyPiles]

@@SDADanCars In the end I yesterday signed up for the Seat Leon FR E-Hybrid, and I got to say it, it was all down to your reviews on the leon fr 2020, and the cupra hybrid, between those reviews i felt secure in my choice going forward. Extremely excited, even though its probably not until march that i will get it because of the cpu shortage.

I've just bought one, the exact model and edition you tested but it's in light grey. I can't wait for it to arrive!

Great choice David 👌 You will like it

[@loudia3651]

wow, that was a nice review. We bought this car a day ago. Within 2 weeks we will ride also in this great car !! thank you Renault.

[@SDADanCars]

Great 👍it is a super nice car 🙂

[@aalb1970]

Did a test drive in this car today . I don't know if the car was faulty, but the petrol engine would rev up at random when recharging the batteries and sometimes it sounded like a plumber was trapped inside the engine. The car drives and handles well and the lane keep assist is very effective on the motorway. But the uncontrollable revving and plumbing sounds from the engine is a nuisance. My advice is to avoid this at all cost and go for a Toyota Yaris or Honda Jazz, if you are in the market for a small hybrid car.

[@SDADanCars]

Thanks for feedback 👍

[@aslanbeats2004]

Well the engine is used to recharge the battery and also for heating it if you are in a cold environment so of course it will rev up to work like a generator

[@aalb1970]

@@aslanbeats2004 I was at least 20 degrees celsius. Perhaps the test car had been idle for some time and needed extra time to recharge the batteries.

[@aquilinorodrigo]

The Toyota Yaris is bad. Extremely bad interior, slow, loud, woeful materials and the doors sound like a tinpot.

[@nancysalama9614]

Thanks for the good review, we did not get this car in South Africa. The car is lovely

[@SDADanCars]

Thanks for feedback 🙏

[@xeniosaias]

Clio diesel starts at 18300 euros here i see no reason to chose the hybrid. And if we are to compare it with another hybrid. Well Corolla is more efficient, more spacious and with less than 100grams so no emission tax and you can get it with 23000 euros....... Clio hybrid costs 25000 euros...... kinda pointless Id say. All the prices I mention are in Greece! BTW awesome review, keep up the good job mate!

[@SDADanCars]

Thanks my friend really appreciate your feedback and great information. 👍🙂🙏 Thanks for watching my videos

[@eruma]

Actually acc. to WLTP the Clio is rated for 99g CO2/km. Regarding the costs it's true, there are other options if this is a critical aspect but if you like to go for an electrified power train, than it's so far a somewhat fair price-range. With all discounts I will get mine for a bit more than 23k Eur (Ger) but with almost all features. In fact, in Germany there is currently no Diesel option so far available, the "biggest" petrol engine you can get is the TCe90.

[@xeniosaias]

[@SDADanCars]

Thanks for feedback my friend really appreciate 👍🙏🙂

[@eruma]

Thanks for the review, just to set a few specs correctly, the overall system power is 103kW (140PS), with one combustion engine (26kW/91PS), a primary electric engine (15kw/49PS) and a secondary one (20PS) which leads to 205Nm of torque (0-100km/h in 9,9s). Consumption acc. to WLTP cycle is around 4l/100km (99g CO2/km). Therefore I'd like to ask which consumption did you have during your time testing it?

[@SDADanCars]

If I remember well consumption was around 4.5l but was kind of cold outside....👍👍

[@MrIzeQ]

Great review, what camera did you use to film this video?

[@1has9683]

Great review man! Definitely considering this car over the Toyota Yaris. One question: does the ambient (blue) lighting come as standard in the S Edition E-TECH 140 Auto, or would I have to pay extra for those?

[@SDADanCars]

From what I know it comes standard....but not sure 100%😪

[@Tshikumu]

It's standard

[@Tranquilmind89]

I am considering this and the Toyota Corolla Hybrid

[@SDADanCars]

Both are super nice cars 👍

Same

[@keithgompertz549]

This review could have been so much better if commentary had paused when we were being asked to see (as opposed to hear) how quiet the car is. It seems a good car, but a video requires less commentary, not more.

[@SDADanCars]

Thanks for feedback 👍🙏I will keep this in mind next time

I have seen your reviews for both this Clio and Toyota Yaris Hybrid. Can you share which one you like more and which one drives better overall?

[@SDADanCars]

Bernard I think both are very similar in a way but Yaris drive little better. Now Clio have a better price and it is more practical....hard to choice

[@bernardshum2719]

@@SDADanCars Thanks. Probably it depends on which one is readily available nowadays.

[@jamestaleporos9794]

What are the negatives? I am always very wary of reviews where everything seems so positive. You clearly like the car, but you don't seem to remain very neutral. You say the cabin is quiet, but, compared to what?

[@brunodias3292]

@@SDADanCars Thanks for your reply. And yeah, it's a tough choice, but both cars seem to offer a really nice experience! 🙂

[@eruma]

I tested the previous Yaris HSD generation and this current Clio and due to the reviews here online, design, costs and my own preferences, I actually bought the hybrid Clio - unfortunately I'm still waiting for delivery. The Clio is more serious/classy not that playful like the Yaris in terms of design (espacially in the interior) and a bit more sporty as well, which is directly connected to the higher power output. If you need a tow bar then the Clio has a higher towing capacity than the Yaris as well - a point which counts much for my side. Consumption wise the Yaris could be a bit better but just in a small percentage number, I only can guess around 10%. So it depends on the discounts on your local car dealer, which might be more sensible in terms of the cost of ownership. Nonetheless I could achieve some 3,8l/100km over 80km of test-driving it, mostly on country roads (up to 100km/h) and a bit of village passages. It's questionable if the Yaris would consume significantly less fuel. Just to be fair, the current Yaris offers more gadets on driving assist, if this might be important.

[@brunodias3292]

@@eruma Thanks for your reply! It's good to know the opinion from people who actually own the car and can provide such a complete feedback :)

[@aalb1970]

The Yaris is the better car IMO.

Depens what you mean by power, I think Toyota is more expensive but also it will do better in terms of technical stuff but Renault have amazing price for what it offers

[@piglet5287]

@@SDADanCars there are surprisingly few proper reviews of this hybrid Clio in the UK, especially considering its technical interest. Then again, the road testers seem mainly interested in whether a water bottle will fit in the door pocket nowadays; anything more is too technical. Renault does have a reputation here for major electronic meltdowns, but may be that's our British weather.😢

@@SDADanCars Watch your video, and see my comment above!

[@ZedsDeadOK]

If your in the market for a hybrid don't buy Renault their advertising BS states they start in EV mode and will spend 80% time in EV mode THEY DON'T watch this video the EV battery is displaying nearly fully charged yet is not using the electric motor (EV mode) to trigger the EV mode you can not use the heating fan or other electrics as the ICE kicks in (like in this video) and your mpg drops. I bought a Clio last year and have this same problem I put it in for repair thinking theres a problem with the system a mechanic told me the ICE kicks in when the electric load increases, this was not explained when I bought the car and I am considering making a complaint to Renault.

Yeah true, but i think Toyota system works like this as well, you can also use more clothes.
