THE last Clio we group tested was a 1.0-litre petrol model in a mid-range trim level, and it emerged victorious. Will this revised car, in top-spec Esprit Alpine trim and with a hybrid powertrain (priced at £24,095), still come top?
Tech highlights
THE revisions for the Clio focus on areas such as the styling, trim levels and equipment, which we’ll come to in the ownership section. Mechanically, the updated version is largely the same car as the model that has won the supermini class in our New Car Awards for three years in a row.
