The Clio will be sharper to drive than before, too, and is set to get a wide range of small, efficient turbo petrol and diesel powerplants. The exact line-up is still being kept under wraps, but Renault’s advanced new three-cylinder turbo – previewed in the R-Space concept – is set to feature.
This 900cc unit delivers 108bhp and 160Nm of torque, and promises CO2 emissions of only 95g/km, as well as 76.3mpg combined economy. This amazing efficiency is down to a host of technologies, including a ‘pulse start’ system which allows lightning quick restarts. Plus, by combining radio spark plugs for quicker ignition and EGR Boost technology to cool and reuse exhaust gases, the unit allows more efficient engine combustion.
