That's really impressive! I never thought the theory will meet reality so well. This little car is a gem. Kudos to Renault for such an accomplishment! Now remains to see about reliability.🍀
I have an average consumption of 4.9 L per 100 km in a 2023 clio pre-facelift 1.0 Tce 90. Always max fill of 35 liters of gas and can do around 700 km. Just normal speeding. 30, 50, 70 and 80 roads. Lots of accelerating and stopping. Very pleasant to drive. Haven’t driven the hybrid and could’ve chosen that one, but preferred manual. Sad that the 1.3 dual clutch wasn’t available and won’t come back🥲
Is it normal that in the highway the live consumption at 100km is 16l/100 when a normal combustion engine goes to 6l/100km or is it normal those bursts of consumption to regenerate battery or because just cilinders are in idle and suddenly start moving an are cold? 😅😅😅
Great video, thanks! Really shows how far you can get with relatively light hybridization and increase efficiency of an internal combustion engine by a lot. What would you estimate a gasoline powered Clio with automatic gearbox would get as average fuel consumption during the same trip?
I do not know the efficiency of 100% petrol engine from Clio. But, if we remove the hybrid system from this car, in my opinion on the same route Clio 1.6l petrol would consume around 4,5-5,0 l/100 km
@@morganmtu4525And the new Toyota Yaris Hybrid 130 (HEV130) will do it for less 3 L Benzin. Of Course Toyota has the best Hybrids Worldwide - but Renault Clio is the second or third behind Toyota and Honda
The consumption at higher speeds will be similar to the previous version of this car (the same hybrid system): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-adYVO0FT3O0.html Of course, I am going to prepare such test for the present version of Clio Hybrid. Tell me also: why do you need exactly 40 km long test?
@esperootje No, I have the option winterpack. But no problem for me. Adaptive cruise control I hate it! Specially in the Netherlands with always a lot of traffic..
@@wanniwashingvideos4911 Ik kom ook uit NL dus dan praten we toch gewoon Nederlands ;-) Maar om even terug te komen op het onderwerp; ik dacht dat adaptieve cruise control gewoon standaard op de Esprit Alpine zit hoor. Maar die Highway & traffic jam optie is een toevoeging op de adaptieve cruise control. Zo had ik het begrepen.
@@wanniwashingvideos4911 Leuk! Spannend! Ik heb nog geen enkele Esprit Alpine gezien zonder adaptive cruise control. Die extra optie zorgt dat de auto in een file automatisch stopt en weer start zonder dat je iets hoeft te doen. Extra comfort. Ik ben er dit weekend over aan het lezen omdat ik gisteren een offerte heb ontvangen bij Van Mossel voor de Esprit Alpine in de kleur Rafal Grey. Ik moet gaan beslissen. Die heeft die file optie ook niet maar dat maakt verder ook niet veel uit. Dit is de laatste voorraadauto en dan is er verder geen keuze. Maar het is gewoon full option. Welke kleur heb jij besteld?
I guess a good think about these cars is that if you drive them politely you'll never have to change brake discs and pads since you're only using regen for braking.
As with Toyotas, since they can use so little braking, you run the risk of the brake disks rusting. And that can be a MOT fail. Just a word of caution, it's good to brake once in a while in this hybrid cars to clean the disks and pads.
Warning, fuel consumption is overrated if you do less than 1000 miles per month specially if you have to pay 400 euros per month for the car, OK it saves you 20 euros per month in fuel so what 🤨😒
I have ordered a techno hybrid fully equipped for 23k from wholesaler with 23% disabled discount, which costs normally 28,4k. After 48 month i can sell it easily for 18 - 20k which makes only 100 euros per month. So win win :-)

Definitely more economical than my 73 plate captur e tech engineered full hybrid. My ev system hardly comes on? Im averaging 51.1 to the gallon. Shocking
@@mahanfantastica8347c'mon be serious, how much power does your car have and how much power this hybrid has? Does diesel consume less fuel than petrol?
Feels like there is a lot of down hill i took one for a test drive and checked tbe consumption long term tbe car sales man had on it. It was 50mpg which isnt impressive at all.
One thing i dont understand. The pictogram sometimes shows that the engine is running, there is an arrow from the engine (means running, even for short time). The other thing, why the consumption goes up to 3,2liter if engine is not running? Would be nice if You explain ;)
It is important to mention that your consumption test was made in D, not in B. In B mode the results would have been even better. Great test nevertheless. Congrats
i have just purchased a new Clio e-tech engineered here in the U.K two weeks ago and its now done 386 miles and i have to say it’s the most useless self-charging hybrid car you could buy, before this i had a new Toyota Yaris and wow that car was amazing on fuel, i travel 30 mile round trip per day to work on rural A roads and averaging 50 mph and the Yaris gave me 75 mpg in winter with heater and A/C on and 85-90 mpg in the summer and did half the journey each way on battery power, but this Clio so far never goes on Battery power over 40 mph or with the heater blower on, so all I’m getting is 52 mpg to work and back, so anyone thinking of buying an E-tech Clio don't bother for the same money buy a Toyota Yaris because its light years ahead of a E-Tech Clio for fuel economy
I believe you but I have different personal experience. On the same conditions has Toyota Yaris lower consumption than Clio just around 0,2 - 0,4l/100km. So, there is no doubt that Toyota is No1 in full hybrid technic but not LY's far before other's.
So, when I consider that the only distance made with petrol engine on is more or less 30 km and go to make some calculation, it is possible to state that the petrol engine implemented in this Renault Clio has a very very bad efficiency. By my calculation the petrol engine itself used 11,76 lt each 100 km during that 30 km.
As you probably know, when you lift the gas pedal in your combustion engine car, the engine DOES NOT consume fuel, similar to situation when you braking. So tell me: why do you EXCLUDE braking and cruising from the whole fuel consumption result in your car?
@1001cars I'm saying that the use of a such inefficient petrol engine isn't the best choice when the final goal is to reduce as much as possible the fuel emission and consumption. The final result could be better by use of a more efficient petrol engine. So, about calculation: Total of 107,4 km and 3,5 l/100 km from your trip report, that means it was used total 3,759 lt of petrol. Because the petrol engine effectively worked for 30,8 km only, it is correct to calculate the real petrol consumption is more or less 12,00 lt each 100km.
@@GIUGGIOLONE As I said, you understand it wrongly. Try to answer my previous question. Also: check in the similar way efficiency of Toyota hybrid engine and tell me how INEFFICIENT it is. "Because the petrol engine effectively worked for 30,8 km only, it is correct to calculate the real petrol consumption is more or less 12,00 lt each 100km." - no, it is NOT correct.
@@1001cars well, i agree that even though if you didn't use the brake pedal in all the trip you wouldn't take much more energy back to the battery using sometimes B mode instead of braking pedal. I would do it though, you didnt ever change to B mode But I think it is better to use other driving modes in different situations to force engine to charge battery and not lose EV in moments of worse efficiency.
@@runebdrim6733 Be more precise, please :) Almost everytime when the combustion engine was ON the battery was charged. Tell me exactly when should I use different than eco mode.
@@1001cars you can use sport mode in downhills to force engine charging battery while benefitting from the inertia of going downhill. that is better than losing EV in flat roads where the engine has to work more to charge battery because you need to press the gas pedal to keep the inertia. It is not a big game changer but you can earn a few extra meters of ev mode no? Also have into account that when you are going downhill EV mode is on in eco mode and you are wasting energy
@@runebdrim6733 No, it will not be better. The only effect will be higher deacceleration and smaller amount of energy recovered. Also on flat route: it is NOT better idea to use combustion engine in such situation. Have you ever tried to drive such car in the most economical way? Show me please that you can achieve better result, especially when whole trip is uphill overall.
Yeah but you no many people takes the effort to travel 107 km in 2 and a half hours when you can do it in 45m in thr highway or do nearly 300km in that amount of time in highway
