Renault Clio set for a makeover

Details of a refreshed Renault Clio, the first Renault with styling led by Laurens van den Acker, have just been announced ahead of an Irish launch later this year.

Renault says the new Clio will offer five-door practicality, but with the low, sporty profile of a coupe. It comes in three trim levels: Expression, Dynamique Nav, and Dynamique S Nav. The Dynamique and Dynamique S available with optional GT Line look pack add sportier styling touches.

Standard equipment includes front and side and curtain airbags, bass reflex speaker system, electric front windows and door mirrors, Bluetooth radio with USB port and jack socket, ESC (electronic stability control) and ETC (electronic traction control, folding front passenger seat, hill start assist, and keyless entry and ignition.
