This is the new Renault Clio!
Looking at it you may not think the Clio has changed that much compared to the predecessor… And when it comes to exterior design, you’d be right! However, once you peer under the skin, you’ll find the Clio has actually undergone a number of changes since the last generation.
Once you're inside, you’ll find a fully revamped interior, with a big infotainment screen and soft-touch material throughout the cabin! Under the bonnet, there’s a number of engines to choose from, including a range-topping 1.6-litre hybrid that’ll achieve 140hp & 64mpg!
But what do you think, would you choose a Clio over alternatives such as the Fiesta, Polo, or a carwow favourite - the Peugeot 208?! You’d better keep watching to see if you should!

So glad you're still reviewing "Sensible" cars as well as the expensive/faster cars. Keep up the good work Matt.
But no one watches it
@@marthannus7620 Other than the 331k people (at time of writing this) that watched it within the first day of the video going live? No, nobody watches it........
@@joebos123 Totally agree with you. Silly comment by Mark Hannus. Yes I’m sure he only drives Ferraris, Lambos, Bentleys, McLarens etc. Carwow I’m certain gets majority of their business from “sensible” mainstream cars as us mere mortals can afford.
@@marthannus7620 stupid
@@marthannus7620 yeah mark
My father got this exact car as shown in the video. He is delighted from the performance. In his opinion the car strikes an amazing balance between sportiness and comfort, for someone who doesn't live in a racing game.
Only thing that could be better is Wind Noise and general sound proofing. When I test drove one, the wind and road noise was so loud that it made me actually go a segment higher. And wind/road noise is key for me because I drive a lot of motorway for work. Which is a shame because the rest of the car is so great. Maybe they should have skipped out on some of the soft plastics, and put the money into sound proofing. Or just you know, make the car 500-1000 pounds more expensive. Quiet cabin >> perceived luxury. Which is why the Polo does so well for most people.
Or you just do a Toyotra Yaris, which has both a cheap cabin and poor sound insulation... so you could say this is still miles ahead of that car.
@@CyAn-S then why even bother looking for a hatchback?
@@Solivigant. because there are plenty of hatchbacks that are way more refined than this.
@@CyAn-S i like how everybody is complaining about wind noise. While noise my car produces is unbearable. Tyre, engine, wind noises are really loud.
Seats squeak, suspension squeaks, all loose plastic rattling around. It's so funny :)
@@CyAn-S This is pretty at odds with my own experience with a rented Clio which I drove for about 300 km on the motorway. I found sound insulation pretty impressive, especially considering that it was the entry level trim with the smaller diesel engine (85 or 90 ch don't remember). Felt like I was driving a bigger car, just with an out-of-this-world mileage.
I've bought one for my wife this january, Intens (highest spec here in HUN) with the 1.0 engine, and in this orange color. I'm ~190cm tall and 120kg, fit perfectly in the front seats, as a matter a fact when my wife is driving and I'm sitting behind her to overwatch the 11months old boy in the child seat, well I could travel back there for longer distances.
The 1.0 engine is quite good, bit weak at lower RPMs but from 1700-1800 it is quite good. Fuel consumption is OK, in the city with lots of 3-5km drives is around 7L/100km (33.6 MPG), I've done some highway and motorway round as well and it was around 5-5.5L/100km (47-42.8 MPG). Just for comparison I have a 2014 Octavia with 1.4 103kw TSI and that does 8L/100km (29.4 MPG) in the city and easily does 5L/100Km (47MPG) on the highway, so for the city Clio, for the countryside and highway Octavia, but the size of the cars make this so evident :)
Clio has around 5000km in it, so still breaking in, I'm expecting 0.5L lower consumtion.
It is a surprisingly good car, nowadays I found myself in to sit almost everytime into Clio when I'm just going into the city with for just couple of kms, easier to find parking places, front and rear sensors are good, kamera (when it's not dirty) helps a lot, boot space is enough for the Babydesing Dotty baby trolley, and the orange color is just awesome. Chicks comeing to me all the time to have chitchat about the car, never happened with 2x times more expensive black saloon Octavia with 18" alloys and Bi-xenon.. BTW the front LED headlights are freaking good, brighter than the Xenon in the Octy..
Suspension is more comfy than sporty with the 16" alloys, but here in Budapest you can barely find good roads..
All in all good car, worth the price (in january 4.500.000 HUF, ~11.000 GBP, today it is 5.500.000 HUF, ~13.600 GBP, thanks crap HUF :) ) the orange color was free because it was some kind of introductory action, 0% interest lease..
Recommended, drop the french car hatred, just sit in one.
Great review!
How is the reliability?
@@fabulousprofound I have the old version of Renault Clio, it has over 5 years now and never had a problem with it.
How about the diesel one
@@fabulousprofound this is a 10 months old, ~5000km in it car so obviously no problem with it, but that is not an achievement :)
I'm not worried with the 4 years extended warranty.
I got a clio myself. Love the car and it never let me down.
Is it that exact same model/generation
@petterhny you are probably from 1950 or something... It has changed a lot how reliable they are. I'ts at 290.000 right now.
@petterhny haha oké but still no problems at all. You are a true hater
@petterhny jaloux et mauvaise langue 😋👅👅
The best in its class in my opinion.
I was able to use one, and it feels like the category above. The quality is insane!
Ya that's what I love because they cut back on things you don't need so that they can give you things of top-notch quality
Your comment is insane!
It's a Renault after all haha only Dacia and Ssangyong are worse...
(my opinion of course)
@@d0ll0b ya is the Micra the same car just different logos I'm a little bit confused
I always wonder who drinks those big bottles while driving 🤷
@@oscarsalazar2166 ya good question
Matt Renault Clio is a fantastic car. I drive it for the last 6 years as a leasing car (I am a sales representative). Perfect steering for driving in the city and for easy parking, it grips well, so it's very funny driving it on a twisty road.
The 1.5 diesel engine is one of the best I've ever driven. No problems at all, no oil consumption, fantastic economy (4,5-5,1 Lt/100km)
Funny you mentioned oil consumption. That used to be the mainstay of VW diesels. I've never driven a French diesel car that consumed any significant amount of oil
You are right. I use a 1.5 dci too (5 years). All i did was regular maintenance once a year. During hot summers, even if you use it with A/C on, max 5 liters per 100 km in city. Drops to 2-3 liters on highway.
Honestly I feel like it is the best B segment car at the moment. From the build quality to the impressive dynamism (even if it isn't the best). It was a MIND BLOWING improvement compared to the mk4, for sure!
@Steve Bourbon Mat said otherwise
Build quality isn’t dictated by how soft touch the plastic are. Should be panel gaps, the processing finish of the plastic mouldings and the solidity of everything.
Yep! Motoring journalisms are obsessed with soft touch, I can't remember a review when it wasn't mentioned at some point. But how often do you touch any part of the dashboard? You'll be touching the wheel, gearstick, and buttons!
@@nickbotfield I will say, as someone with a 1.0 auto RS line clio (21 plate) the wheel is incredible, It is so soft and quite frankly nicer than the wheel in our XC60 T8 R-Design which is about 3x the price brand new!!!
The orange paint in real life is stunning.
I went to see renault clio when i was buying a car and i was surprised by the good quality on the inside, i believe it has the best infotaiment screen from all the others
"Almost as tight as my pants, so you won't be able to fit much in them..... oh :(" 😂
I died. Lol
I know where is coming from haha
Lmao wait what 😳
his look of disappointment when he realized he burned himself hahaha
Hello guys! What think about this ?)))))))))))))))))))))))))))) czcams.com/video/29PxWwN9_p4/video.html
I have just bought this car in the exact colour with all the bells and whistles and absolutely love it. It’s quiet on the motorway, the Bose speakers are amazing, the interior quality is the best Iv personally ever had (had a corsa and fiesta before this) and it’s so high spec.
Heated seats, wireless phone charger, reversing camera with 360 view, front and rear parking sensors, lane departure warning, easy park assist, ambient lighting etc
I absolutely love it!
Bought the Intens trim (1 below RS line) in August with this 1.3 Aut engine here in DK. After driving much more premium cars in the past this new Clio is such a positive surprise, a really wonderful all-arounder. Agree with Matt on slightly worse visibility than in a Polo, the gearbox used to be a little jerky when cold but this has been quite improved after 3k km. It is such a grownup car that actually doesn’t mind to be trashed around in the morning rush hour. I really love it.
Do you have automatic air conditioning on your car? Can you confirm whether the AC light remains on all the time or switches off when you push auto??
@@natsirt0088 it turns off and on in automatic mode depending on the temperature outside... I bought mine in january so still has not gone on but above 16 celsius or so it goes on
I never though i'd like a Renault. But this one looks really good
You should check out their Laguna Coupe
@@maciekkokoszka7916 Megane IV RS?
@@Evokyr also nice
The Renault Talisman is nice, shame you can't get it in the UK
I wish i could buy a Peugeot or Renault in the US. Love renting them in Europe
You get everything from modest hatchbacks to hypercars (and even one or two bikes) on this channel. What's not to like! 👍🏼
Well, the modest hatchbacks.
UK prices of everything on this show

That's a huge step forward in terms of interior quality. I had the old clio several times as a rental car and it was so cheaply build in the interior and had an unintuitive multimedia system, but the new one looks really good. And I think they made some progress on the reliability
I own the previous version with the 0.9 tce and I have to say that that tiny engine is a lot of fun. The interior quality is not so great, though, but overall I think it's one of the best in its class, as well as the new version.
I had an old Clio with the 1.2TCE engine and it was fantastic. This looks even better
The 1.2TCE was a little gem of an engine. Cheap to run but so much fun on the country roads.

We bought this car last month rs line with high specs and we couldn’t be happier and impressed with the overall performance.
Absolutely loved finding your channel when I looked for “renault clio”!
Told me all I need to know!
I bought a Clio 5 Intens TCe 100 5spd manual in January and I have driven 14000 km since new. I have been very satisfied with the whole car. The engine isn't going to win any races but it has a good torque for everyday driving and the consumption is very reasonable. The 5 spd box has the ratios pretty wide apart so that makes the car feel a bit slow but just drop in to right gear and floor it and it will move nicely.
I don't understand why people are always fighting in the comments about which (small) car is 'best'. If you do, you are missing the most important point: any small car you can buy today is 'good'. Compare the new Clio, the 208 or a Toyota Yaris to literally ANY car you drove quite happily only 10-15 years ago. Look at what you are getting now! Any car you buy today is safe, well-equipped, easy to drive, economical and better for the environment than anything that was available only a few short years ago.
If you're not old enough to have driven a car 10 years ago, then you can't even know which car is 'best' because you probably have little to no frame or reference. My first car was a 15-year old run down Suzuki Swift with a passenger door that wouldn't open anymore because the car had previously been stolen and rolled. Also, if it was at all wet outside the car would just skid around like it was dancing on an ice skating ring. Compared to THAT, this car is 'best'. Any car you can buy today is 'good'.
Now what I like about this particular car is how much safety equipment it gets as standard. Some other brands make you pay extra for things like emergency brake assistance, but on the Clio you get everything even at the lowest spec. I think that's also part of the reason why it's so popular.
Personally, I own a Clio Mk. 4. It's not perfect, but I like it well enough that I decided to upgrade to this car, the NEW Clio. I test drove the hybrid E-Tech version twice and I was so impressed with it that I decided to shell out for that, even if it was almost prohibitively expensive compared to the normal 100 bhp petrol version. It's quite a lot better to drive than my current car and I can't wait for it to get here. I wish there were more English language reviews of the E-Tech hybrid version because it really is quite good and very good fun to drive. It's no rocket like a Tesla, but it'll happily power away at the lights and remain very economical while doing it. I also loved the overall quality and quietness in the cabin. That's the biggest improvement over the old car for me, and what wind and tyre noise I do still get I don't really mind at all.
Mat just bought this RS Line! I love it I've had Golfs, Polos, 3 seat Ibiza Bochanegas/cupra and only criticism is wind noise at 70 mph
Can't believe this was labeled shortlisted. That only seems to be the case with 95 % of the cars you review, very helpful 👍
Most cars don't differ that much in terms of value so you shortlist them and which one to pick is based on what matters most to you. You won't go wrong either way. A buy means that the car is so good at its segment that most people should just not think about it and buy it. A consider should be reserved for cars which are not completely horrible, but for most people will be found lacking, so people should only consider them in case there is something they really need in that car. Seems like a nice system.
It’s between this and the Peugeot for me, little cars with nice, big car style interiors.
Yessss!
I have been waiting this review for almost a year now
I was looking to this time when you start doing the 2021 models. I started to watch carwow last October 👌🏼love this channel Mat 👏🏼
Agreed, looks like we have an S Class of the B segment In the interior department. French designers really have fashion sense, and a very stylish way of interpreting it (fashion) that just works wonders on the end product. I'm glad they have also improved the quality of materials which has always been questionable.
The current Polo looks absolutely dreadful in comparison.
Well it is almost 3 years old now. Things move fast.
@Yule Calma what are you talking about. I never said a Polo was bad. I was just stating it was almost 3 years old, so it is logical new cars from 2020 look more modern amd have more features.
@Yule Calma I drive a Golf 8 so none. But if I had to choose a Polo. Yaris is underwhelming at best.
@Yule Calma The Clio is better, drive and see, the race is bad already, if you want to drive very well, you will get a Fiesta, besides it remains simple in terms of driving.
I believe there's a new version coming out soon (according to the VW UK website).
HI CARWOW, Love your videos Matt!!
I've would go for Paris Initiale version. You get leather seats, 360 degree camera, parking assistant, heated seats and steering wheel, shark antenna, special alloy wheels, better materials inside and outside. Great little car.
I was lucky enough to tour Windsor Castle before the fire. Glorious.
We have one at home and I love it! Great job, Renault! 😍
Thank Mark for keep on testing normal joe’s cars. Please keep on doing it.regards from Madrid
(in extremely surprised voice) "This interior is nicer than a VW Polo's!"
you know, it's not hard to be better than Volkswagen xd
Golf 2 jebote bog
As a VW fan it's kinda true
The French know how to make supermini's with some flair like the 208 which also looks great. This Makes the Polo, Fiesta and Corsa look boring.
it's a disappointment it won't be coming to australia.i looked at the previous model out of interest when it was time to seek out a replacement for my old micra k12.i ended up buying something used and korean.
I agree
@Gibbon my thoughts exactly !
The Fiesta in particular looks crap compared to the Clio and 208!
Personally I don’t think the new Corsa is a bad looking car at all though..
Peugeot took care of that!
Renault's design team are doing a pretty fantastic job at the moment
At making junk.
Howdy, awesome video as per usual Mat! Just by reading the tittle, I sensed a French battle!😸
love the new video you guys are amazing!
Polo with better suspension then Clio?! Never in the world...a VW?...the stiffest car in the world ?!

Mdrr 😂
@@pedroveiria1232 Merde 😂😂
Mdr de lol.
the quickest detailed video ive ever watched. this guy is so funny
About time that this car got reviewed. So there is a sport mode which gives better response with accelerating and more sporty steering. Also from my experience, the automatic dual-clutch transmission isn't clunky at anytime, and pretty quick too. The car is really enjoyable and fun. The interior is designed by a Dutchman. The trim levels are interesting though. Where as in most countries the highest trim level is going to be the RS, here in the Netherlands we've got the 'Initiale Paris'. This trim adds complete beige/cream or black leather seats. Also more trim details on the outside.
Spanish viewer here. I've just bought this car last month, ended up going with the RS Line 1.3L in black.
To me the biggest upside of the car is its interior. About the back seats, it's a Clio so there's not much surprise about the space.
When wanting a more spirited driving I highly recommend putting it in sport mode, which makes the steering tighter, fixing the lack of connection that Matt talked about, and the gearbox shifts quicker.
One big thing that I haven't seen any review talk about (neither the spanish or english) it's that you can throw it into manual by holding the upshift paddle for about three seconds, doing this while on sport mode give a quite sporty driving experience (despite obviously still being in a Clio)
And a big fail to me is not having disk brakes on the rear axle in any specification apart from the 1.5L diesel version, the car brakes great without them but the look is really unflattering.
Thanks for the video guys!
I recently rented a base model one and didn’t even notice it had rear drums until I saw them. So pretty good way to cut down the price along with a normal am/fm radio. Some people don’t care about those thing and I think it’s fine.
I think the newer models now have rear discs brakes
Existe una opción extra en la que incluye el freno de mano electrónico y el botón “Autohold” en la que los frenos traseros son de disco, es la única manera de poder conseguirlo con esos frenos…
The design is great..i have a Megane and i'm quite pleased with it
Great video. Could you do a specific video on the E-tech hybrid Clio soon please?
Can't wait for the captur review.PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN
10 years ago you could buy a Clio for £9,000 it has now over doubled in price. Can I just ask everyone... has anyone who has stayed in the same job (no promotion) had a £10,000 pay rise?
The UK inflation is off the charts.
In my oppinion is the best small car, and the design is great! Renault makes somegood engines also!
But not a good car when it comes to reliability
Yea Renault engines run like a tank.

@@Evokyr You’re mad
@@Evokyr especially the interior, it feels so cheap.
@@danisantos3255 i bought this car over an Audi A1, VW polo which i test drove. Went with the peugeot because it felt more premium than the other 2.
@@danisantos3255 wtf. Peugeot 208 interior is far from looking cheap, maybe the only thing I would point out is the side supports on windows made of hard rubber and has a smaller panel. If you compare this Clio with the gt line version of Peugeot 2020, apart from that it has way more futuristic and expensive looking. Also has carbon fiber looking material, clicking responsive buttons, a 3D cockpit, customizable interior lights, USB type-c(yes we are in 2020), WIRELESS phone charger) I just don't know man, there so many expensive-looking things in the Peugeot 208, that's why it got the 2020 car of the year.
Now, I do agree the design is not for everyone, it is more bold and innovative, maybe a target for a younger generation.
Love the Clio and the improvements with each one.
Yay a everyday car, can u do the corsa next. Love those types of reviews
kinda surprised you are reviewing it this late since it first came out in 2019 but I'm not complaining, another review is another review
I always wonder who drinks those big bottles while driving 🤷
I do. Usually have it on the passenger seat, or in a bag. (For long journeys), other than that, 1l sport bottles are my go-to, along with coffee.
Always have them big bottles on my car.i work in the middle of no where with no water supply so usually have 4 or five in the car for the work day, and I put them on the passenger seat, and they all shoot into the footwell under breaking, so would be cool to have door bins big enough to put at least one in, for the drive to/from work. Just to have a drink handy.
Oh okey.. I rarely do long trips with my car. When I do a 0.5l bottle is enough for me. And my door bins are really small! (BMW 3 series)

The first Renault I like and would consider buying for decades. Its because of the highly improved interior quality. The orange paint is gorgeous.
Hello Mat, As usual you do a great job with reviews, I am looking forward for you review of Renault Arkana. When do you plan to put it. Thank you.
It's the best in it's class of course, i only hope we get an optional manual gearbox with the RS Line trim and the 1.3 TCe 130hp engine
They are actually scrapping all the 1.3 TCe's now for this car and replacing them with the Hybrid e-tech one. I looked at the Dutch website just now. It is pretty sad. Even the R.S. line now only has a 90Hp 3 cyl TcE and the e-tech Hybrid. This drops the car a few spots in the supermini segment for me. That 1.3 TcE was a great engine for this class of car.
Wtf 208 is so much better
@@pap_chr5063 I prefer the Clio personally. Although I do love the headlights and the taillights from the 208
@@crabrangoon2493 hmm my mum drives a 2020 clio rs line. She wanted the 208 but the gt line was too expensive for a daily driver. Our Clio has a cheap asf interior and it's a bit outdated. 208 has a much better interior quality and it's more hightech as well
5:16 I saw the sadness in your face after you said that.
Always enjoy your reviews. Please review the Renault Captur.
Well done Matt your review's are so funny. I enjoyed it.
The Renault Clio has been a very good car since it’s introduction in 1990. The Clio V is a very good car: solid, comfortable, economic, quick and great looking!
Solid isn’t a word many Clio owners would use to describe their cars.
I knew a Clio owner, who spend more time in the garage
@@JamesSmith-uv9og typical English non sense and lack of objectivity
Never knew i would say this.
I would still prefer The Peugeot 208
the 208 is nice but the interior is a bit gaudy looking.
Its a nice car :)
I would prefer 208 over this just gor the driving position.
Finally a review, we also want one for the captur
Yup thats exactly my little car, same specs and the color. Long waited for 208 but bought this one. No regrets 👍
I've had this car for 4 months now, the satnav does indeed show in the digital speedo at the top right, just have to put in an adress and cycle through the different options on the display
Play this at 0.5x speed and Matt sounds like a posh Drunk Englishman! Classic
@United Swordz EXTRA the video bro, the video
Bought new Clio in 2013 and still have it, been totally trouble free, absolutely no intention of changing it..
Drove the automatic with 130hp engine in rs line last year, and was very impressed, would definitely consider when my 3 years up with my current iconic
Decided to stick with a Clio following test drive and purchase of RS line. Big improvement on my 2015 DCI. Only negative is mpg compared!
“1 li-er”. Gotta love the British accent
"I'm Bri ish" 🤣
Mat Watson for Top Gear!!!!!
Yes iagree idid watch the topegear episode recent where the one man sat on the roof result he’s screaming was to harm my ears and result of which yes mat western also can scream andso ido thing heis a top gear presentation.
It would be awesome if you could review the new Sandero Stepway 2021 as well and compare them with the hatchbacks you mentioned. The new Sandero is supposedly based on this Clio and it would be awesome to know how it compares to its pricier and supposedly more advanced counterparts, especially concerning road handling cos that's what matters most.
I have it since one year and still love it
Beautiful car. Hopefully you guys get your hands on a Renault talisman for a review! Love the design of their grandtour version ! Need to know if it have big enough door pockets!
We don't have those in the UK 😪
@@lj2684 nooooooooooooooo..... Now I can never expect a review of Matt 😢
@@matteoclaeskens 🤣
Renault UK sell hardly any models. We no longer get Espace, Scenic, Kangoo, Modus, Fluency, Koleos, Kadjar. We never got the Talisman. There is a pathetic choice. Yet 20 years ago Renault UK was on the rise taking about 10% of the UK market. Their sales and marketing people need kicking out and replacing by people who can do their jobs properly. I'm on my second Renault both bought new snd each time the buying experience has been dreadful. Coupled with high spare parts prices I don't think I could stand the stress of buying another
I do not know if it's better than the 208 (haven't drove it yet) but it is much better than fiesta/polo/corsa etc.The fact that it looks very similar to the (beautiful but underrated) Megane is an extra plus!
Thanks Matt. Most useful as usual. I often tune into your channel when the Mrs is watching her soaps - even when I'm not looking for a car 😊.

I owned the previous gen and it sucked pretty much. But since i now own this car, i absolutely love it. It's a huge difference, and the exterior might look a bit like the old one (a.k.a VW style), but it's miles a head of the old ones and looks much better.
my son just purchased the RS line, after visiting several car dealers. the internal tablet style screen and internal tapestry are fab. by the way the boot size is bigger then a golf its huge for a small car.
Another small car drag race would be amazing! Peugeot 208, Ford Fiesta, Renault Clio and Volkswagen Polo
Great car, but personally prefer the Peugeot 208. I just don't like the vertically placed touchscreen display
There seems to be also a smaller one (not quite that small as that basic version Mat showed).
What about the Citroen ds3
@@RL-C3 DS don't sell it in the UK anymore.
So... is there any reason at all to choose this over a Peugeot 208? The latter appears to be superior in all respects and looks incomparably better both inside and out...
This is where carwow really shines.great informative reviews on aspects that matter.A huge request Matt if you see this.
Mazda 6 estate GT sport + Vs V60 T5 Vs Superb r line estate (220bhp).this is 3 cars I've got my eye on.
just drove the Tce 90HP, very comfortable and great engine. No pain in my back after driving ~400 km. I struggled with the media entertainment, but frankly I did not spend much time investigating how it works.
all i can say is.....
I LOVE CARWOW
I Liked before finish the video, because I know it will be great ❤️
With all due respect I know this is irrelevant but I just love your videos and how they look! I want to know what lens you use shooting car review ?? Thanks
I think Peugeot 208 is the king in the class and this Clio the close second.
9:38 lol plz look at his face when he doing that
Cheers from the Netherlands ✌🏽
I love it, and I love it in that orange paint!!
