RENAULT UNVEILS FOURTH-GENERATION CLIO

[Penn]

Rs badge and front and rear bumpers Isnt it? No flared arches or anythig special?

No custom body panels at all on the new RS Clio so yep, no flared arches.

 

[Zoe]

Eugh not a fan of this at all :shock:

The last lot of renaults are such a good looking bunch too, shame :?

 

[TripleJay]

hmmm, with this new generations coming up ive learnt to wait and see it in the flesh to judge/comment (appart from AFTA Twingo rear back :mrgreen: ). For instance i dont like the exterieror in this colour, but the interior in black is much much better than the one in red ive seen on slovak servers...

Found it, looks like a circus is in town :roll:

Please shoot me now, RENAULT WHY............?

 

[Mike_Robo]

just read on Evo that the RS edition is paddle gearbox with twin Clutch

 

[MovingShadow]

I like it as well.

Especially the interior is a big upgrade and looks more inviting to be around in than the previous Clio's.

 

[Peter]

Will this be the new RS? Or just another bad Auto Express mockup?

 

[JMR]

Front grille is a bit big and low for my liking.

just read on Evo that the RS edition is paddle gearbox with twin Clutch

And whats bad about that?

 

[Mike_Robo]

Dunno i just like a classic manual box, i do like it tho, especially the front splitter

if it ever breaks and its not under warenty anymore you will notice the price for repairing that will be the bad part :lol: for the rest if it works lots of fun

It might look a bit ordinary but I'd say it looks better than the current shape in non-RS guise.

Let's face it, it's the RS we all care about most so let's see how that comes out,

 

[jra3d]

An RS should not be a 5 door simple!! Don't mind the gearbox idea tho!

 

[Peter]

5 doors for family and a bit more comfort.
paddle gearbox for better use on the track.
and a turbo'ed engine for better fuel economy from day to day.

Sounds like a car full of compromises. And not really a excelling roadcar for track use like previous RS models.

I'll just wait and see before I make my final statement on it.

I love it! And when u think compared to the current Dynamique spec clio its stunning looking, this is a step forward in design a lot of people don't like the new twingo but when it's next to mine im sad to admit mine looks very dated especially from behind, I've also seen more new ones on the road down here in Plymouth than the old ones so they r obviously reaching out to a few more people!
The current press at the moment are also pushing for cars even hot hatches to have 5 doors, look at the megane RS 265 losing against the golf and ST purely as it is not available in 5 doors as in terms of driving thrills the meg beats them both! That's the way it goes 5 doors seem to be coming back into fashion sadly

New Clio Grandtour?

 

[weebob]

They just seem to be swinging between ugly (RS 200 & new RS 133) and dull (new Clio) in recent years.

The last nice looking Clio was the 197, yes it's looking dated now but it's a shag lot better than this Kia somethingorother / poxhall Astra crossbreed.

Will give it a couple of things, interior looks nice and a good choice of normal engines
