Renault Clio, the Heir Under Pressure!

At Rétromobile 2026, Renault puts its Clio to the test of its legendary past by organizing a unique and delightful family reunion.
From January 28 to February 1, 2026, Renault transforms Rétromobile into a sanctuary for the Clio. A true popular icon and the best-selling car in France in 2025, the Clio reveals itself in all its forms in “Cliorama,” a retrospective of the six generations where the newly launched Clio VI carries the heavy burden of continuing a prestigious legacy. Sporty, luxurious, accessible, technological… it must tick all the boxes to remain worthy of its name.
The Renault stand, located in Hall 7.2 over more than 900 m², offers an immersive journey through five areas — competition, novelty, sport, saga, and luxury. Enthusiasts can relive the exploits of the Clio Group A, the Clio II RS Super 1600, or the Clio Maxi “Kit Car,” while the Clio Williams and Clio V6 remind us that the small city car can also become a radical GT or a circuit icon.
One day my daughter…
At the heart of the novelty area, the Clio VI full hybrid E-Tech 160 hp embodies modernity. With electrified powertrain, bold styling, and a technological interior featuring OpenR Link and integrated Google, it aspires to be the perfect bridge between tradition and innovation. The saga and luxury areas remind us that Clio has always succeeded in blending performance, prestige, and comfort, from Baccara editions to Initiale Paris, not forgetting the collector models like the R27 F1 Team.
And for those dreaming of audacity, Renault showcases at Pavilion 4 the Ultimate Supercar Garage with the Renault 5 Turbo 3E, which is visible in France for the first time in a near-final version.
