What’s new? Renault Clio 2024 face lift (Esprit Alpine) 

I bought this same model and I love it. It’s way better than my previous Peugeot 208. The hybrid part is better than I expected as well. I’m very happy with it.

Nice review tish always like the new shape clio every time I see it on your channel x

Points that I like 1. You can disable keyless entry via the infotainment system. (Helps prevent keyless relay theft) 2. The oil dipstick is easy to read 3. Engine is naturally aspirated, no turbo lag and the electric motors assist acceleration really well 4. Fuel injection is port injection not direct, therefore no carbon build up on the intake valves and performance issues over time 5. Automatic gearbox is a clutchless design, less maintenance (i.e. no clutch replacement ) 6. Disc brakes all round, easier to replace over drums if you are into DIY 7. Sport mode livens up steering and acceleration response 8. Comfort, road noise levels and cabin quality. Points I do not like 1. You cant view the exact tyre pressures on the dash / infotainment, only see green / yellow / red status 2. There is an additional coolant reservoir for the electric motors, something else to keep an eye on 3. No heated front windscreen, icy weather means scrapping and using de-icer 4. Door mirrors are not heated 5. Infotainment system is not the most responsive 6. UK model does not come with 360 cameras and park assist 7. Cost 8. Order delivery times, some franchised dealers quoting up to 6 months, whereas Renault Retail may get you one in less than a month. And Shadow Grey is the best colour to order 🙂

Ford have made a massive mistake dropping the Fiesta & will come back to haunt them !

great review as always tish hope you are keeping well

great clio review tish xxx

Thanks for the review. Beautiful little car. Ordered the manual tce Esprit Alpine version and will have it in April😊. Could you please do a review of the manual one? Cheers

Good review as always, Tish! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥇 I owned a 90 cv tce Clio and I enjoyed it very much. Comfortable, handily, not very noisy, and with a consumption average of 7,3 l./100 km mainly in urban areas. ❤ I think that this new hybrid engine fits well in this car. 👍 But you’re right, I don’t like the rear doors handle either. 😅

I really like this car, colour, spec and simplicity of the range, nice presentation 🎉

The new styling really freshens up the look of the Clio. Great review Tish.

Got a hybrid 1.6 evolution 2 days ago....62 mpg on first run...incredible....go easy on the accelerator and 60mpg easily possible. 0% also a good shout! Ceramic grey also lovely!

Gets a thumbs up from me. Pretty big for b segment hatch

I’ve had my Clio for just over 2 years. It’s been a great car. Fully intend to get this new model at the end of the year. One of the main reasons I chose this car IS the design of the rear doors and the hidden handles. In my opinion it makes the car more attractive and almost coupe like. Always thought 3 door cars look good. Very sad I think that there is now almost a total absence of 3 door options on the market. That’s the main reason I’ll stick with the Clio (for now!).

Was never a Clio fan but this and the previous generation I really like. Wouldn’t say it’s a small car anymore but everything above it have increased in size also.

Luv for Trish from all over Greece!

The Clio is and always has been a great car.

Quietly stylish car, a good option if you're getting bored with brash Peugeots. Some interesting technology too on the hybrid with its "dog box," and no worries about where to charge it. I'd consider it next time I throw money away on a car😂

11:26 Nice small car.

I am thinking about the Renault Clio

An ice car 👍

In other markets this is the new Mitsubishi Colt. The Renault Captur is the new Mitsubishi ASX. Mitsubishi are out of the UK though so the closest relatives are the Nissan Micra and Nissan Juke for those looking for something the same but different. Think the Dacia Sandero and Dacia Duster are the other relations

In my country, Belgium, Renault isn't exactly cheap or affordable. None of the European car brands are actually. Yes you can get an ultra basic Citroen C3 with an interesting starting price but that one is almost more basic than a Dacia Sandero but with a higher price than the latter. None of the German cars have offerings that you could call affordable, not even the fake German brands like Ford and Opel. You have to either opt for Dacia or to the brands who still offer ulta compact cars such as Toyota with the Aygo X, Hyundai with the i10, it's twin the Kia Picanto or some Suzuki compact models (although they are more expensive but offer massive discounts on a regular basis which is kind of silly). But even these cars aren't really affordable when you know that their prices more than doubled compared to 5 to 6 years ago (and please don't give the bullshit about inflation and parts shortages). This means that what is called "affordable" is in fact what would have cost you for a well equipped small family car a few years ago. In my book it's called "stealing, ripping off, scamming people...

I'm convinced been looking at lots of new cars to replace my Kia.. The Clio is the one

I am surprised they aren't popular on British roads. I see them everywhere here in northern Croatia, especially in orange. IMO they overtook Fiesta and Corsa here. We looked at one but ultimately decided to go with a used kia (which is also hugely popular). I like the way these look and I think Renault has an opening to come out with a spicy version that replaces Fiesta ST given that they screwed up the last gen spicy one and Fiesta is going extinct.

Question: will the new Toyota Crown be released in the UK? And more importantly, will it be the Crown Sport or the Crown "Signia?"

You can get a sofa, a bedroom lamp, even a toaster with built in usb points. But it seems overlooked on so many 4/ 5 seater cars. Its not rocket science is it, manufactures count the number of sestbelts in your car at design stage and add the same amount of usb chargers.

This or Suzuki Swift Sport?

Not bad looking, it's good for city, but I think the price is a bit high & mitsubishi colt is coming with the chassis .

I think its great that there are NO cupholders, drinks ruin your interior. NO drinks in MY car allowed. lol! (own a Blue Esprit Alpine ) ;)

Why comparing to the C-HR? Seems very odd.

Nice car with promise ✅. The US made a mistake dissing all their cars (with the exception of Cadillac). Chevy should've at least kept the Cruze Hatchback & similar to Ford with the Escort. I still don't get Mitsubishi making such dreadfully small & cheap economy cars, it makes no sense. They should've revived the Starion Turbo sports coupe in a version similar looking to the 80s version. I'm glad Cadillac continues selling CT4 & CT5 Sedans in the States.

I have ordered the Renault alpine Clio , had a corsa f and found it awful on comparison. The Vauxhall brand have had a new facelift and made the corsa f lacking the sporty look inside for the price of the Clio same as the Toyota Yaris in which I test drove and the Clio has more reliability on road handling and acceleration from both competitors. The corsa f and Yaris left me wanting more from sporty look, feel and more importantly the drive. The new clio left them standing. So ordered one and don’t regret !

Surprised you didn´t compain about the automatic gearbox, quite a few reviewers say its not that amazing

How are the handles hard to find 😂 do people forget where they are after they bought them lmao

Shame they don't produce a diesel

What the hell is a “full hybrid”?!

I always give you a massive thumbs up for being such an intelligent (and drop dead gorgeous looking!) reviewer, Tish! 🥰😘❤

Have you got your facts right this time?🤔

Try looking at the road and not the camera when driving.

I had a 2023 1.0 petrol Clio as a hire car - the 1 litre turbo engine was punchy, but the interior was really cheap - the infotainment screen had a crack in it, as did one of the console displays. I wouldn't touch one.

I have never had a Clio or any Renault at all ,I just feel it's ok will drive ok but to me it lacks personality 😮

Renault have just gone overboard on SUV's, like many other carmakers, to the point they have very little choice now, and very little to differentiate one model from another. The world is going to be a very boring place when it's just electric SUV's on the market - not everyone want's them, but at least this Clio isn't one of them.

Renault need to kill that ridiculous audio stalk it's so outdated and also annoying. I had one in my mark 2 Clio and still they haven't evolved. I'm glad Nissan don't offer this odd thing. I still think Nissan are the better brand out of the Renault / Nissan / Mitsubishi alliance

why are people still buying minis...was horrid in 1960 and more horrid in 2023

On its last legs. Now so overpriced

They have ruined the look of the front. Ford also did the same with their Fiesta and Focus. Why are they getting bigger grilles, looks terrible. Very few facelifts improve the looks. The only facelift that was any good was the facelift to the front of the original Jaguar XF.

no diesel..not good

Hmmmm. Sadly over done. Too bling. Really did not need this much of a [quote, unquote] mid life nip and tuck. Over the years i have owned a number of Clio models. This current shape and the marked up turn in quality was a turning point. However this is a step too far. Over cooked. Peugeot have done the same 'mistake' with the superb 208. Three lion claws? Why?

It's a fossil car? Why bother buying a new ICE car when it will have a life of about 4-5 years max?

Great video review tish, looking 😍 sexy as well ❤️‍🩹

Mini is a girlie's car reason she likes the mini's Rubbish, Look naff now them minis😢 clio looks the business and they are rapid as I've had 3 of these clios Rs Then the Rs line Now this one which basically replaces the RS line, This model is relaunch of it from the 1980s alpine esprit back then. 😮😮
