Renault Clio Lutecia Hybrid Review: Best hybrid hatchback on the market?

[@antasosam8486]

Don't bash the phone/volume stick. It's famous Renault feature, the thing we Renault drivers love and cherish!

[@saadaayla8891]

Great review deserve credits ❤️💪🏻👍

[@pintsizedbiker]

It’s a shame that the current line up has hardly any of these features. Any ideas when they might return? Heated seats, mirrors, folding mirrors, the adaptive cruise control etc? Seems silly the car is as expensive yet isn’t as good?

[@morganmtu4525]

C'est disponible sur YARIs 4 hybride

Does this have fold in mirrors as I've heard some have them on the lutecia and some don't?

[@iosonoleggenda]

RS hybrid model bough last month, no fold in mirrors.

@@iosonoleggenda I've not long taken delivery of a lutecia e tech hybrid, mine doesn't either but there will be a recall to retro fit them because they are supposed to be on it

[@ReDemPTiion2]

@@iosonoleggendaI ordered my clio hybrid rs line in February got it September mine has electric folding mirrors plus they’re heated. Might depend on when you ordered as they had to stop doing them as they couldn’t get the computer chips for them but if you get in touch with dealer they’ll be able to enable the auto folding if they can get the parts in for it

The mic’s fine, they didn’t set the levels properly 🙄

BUYER BEWARE DO NOT BUY THE HYBRID VERSION. I bought one in 2022 expecting for a high mpg after reading Renault's blurb i.e. travelling 80% on electric and driving as long as possible on electric, yes that is total BS. The first few months it appeared to be okay however when the temp drops and you need to use the heating fan the ICE will work nearly continuously you will loose at least 10mpg, at first I thought the car had a fault and returned it to my local dealer, they clearly knew the problem before I turned up because they had a mechanic waiting to speak to me he explained that even the EV battery was fully charged if the electrical load i.e. your fan is on it won't switch to the EV mode until the engine is fully warmed up, so local short trips will just use the ICE, so to get around this I switch the fan off until the windscreen mists up to use the EV mode. I am currently in dispute with Renault after learning other makes of cars don't suffer from this problem.

[@badbusdriver7160]

On any EV, the range in cold weather will drop by 25-30%, more if very cold. This is (AFAIK) well known facts and applies to pretty much anything which uses a battery, cars or otherwise. So why on earth would you assume this wouldn't apply a self charge hybrid with a relatively tiny battery?. Surely the problem here is lack of research?.

[@thetad1242]

You get paid to say this about the car? You are the only one going bombing comments on this car. Your experience, leave others. Unless you are paid bot

[@ZedsDeadOK]

@@badbusdriver7160 Two points, 1, The sales team I bought from did not explain that, 2, The Renault website at the time gave mis leading advertising, furthermore the size of the battery is not the concern re read my comment.

[@ZedsDeadOK]

@@thetad1242 I wish I was being paid, I'm trying to warn others not to fall for Renault's miss leading claims.

@ZedsDeadOK Almost all manufacturers have misleading claims about fuel consumption, yet you are here solely on a crusade.
