By constantly talking about Tesla, MG, and BYD, we forget that there is still a small city car that was once the queen of the French roads, the Clio.
It’s hard to continue existing in a world that champions the automotive revolution when you are a small hybrid city car, distinctly French, and at the end of its life. The star model of the French market since its launch, the Renault Clio naturally has less wind in its sails today. However, when you want to drive a French car, with a proven engine, you won’t look towards the neighboring lions or chevrons, entangled in the Pure Tech scandal which we shall avoid mentioning out of decency.
So buying a new Renault Clio today makes absolutely no sense. The model is at the end of its career, and Renault has other pursuits with its long lineup of SUVs, stretching endlessly. To stay the course, margins must be cut, and offers must be made at rock-bottom prices. Not in cash sale, of course, but through the très trendy LDD and LFA!
It’s said and repeated to avoid any misunderstanding: cash purchase does not excite us. But when the monthly lease drops to 200 euros with a reasonable down payment, we listen up.
The model in question is a Renault Clio Evolution E-tech Full Hybrid 145. Much more interesting than the totally listless latest combustion engines.
Regarding equipment, it’s not the over-the-top, but the essentials are present with:
- 7-inch touchscreen
- power front windows
- manual air conditioning
- rear parking radar
- automatic wipers
- cruise control / speed limiter
- and of course all modern driving safety aids
The offer is a long-term lease over 37 months and 30,000 km, with an initial payment increased by 3,000 euros. No worries — it includes three years of warranty, 24/7 assistance, and maintenance. It’s certainly not the deal of the century, but it’s not without interest. And we are even sure you can negotiate a few dozen euros off the stock models.
