The Renault Clio is a subcompact passenger car produced by the French manufacturer Renault. Introduced in 1990 as a successor to the Renault 5, the Clio has become one of the brand’s most successful and widely sold models. It is primarily offered as a five-door hatchback and is positioned within the European small car segment.
Designed for urban and suburban driving, the Renault Clio typically seats five passengers and emphasizes efficiency, practicality, and affordability. Over multiple generations, it has been equipped with a range of gasoline, diesel, and hybrid powertrains. The model has evolved to include modern safety systems, digital displays, and infotainment technology.
The Clio has also been produced in performance-oriented versions, such as the Renault Sport (RS) variants, which feature enhanced engines and sport-tuned suspension. Its combination of compact dimensions, contemporary styling, and everyday usability has made it a consistent presence in the global subcompact market.
