Wonderful video, thanks!! This car is super awesome! And it's beautiful. I have the colour grey rafale. I picked it up last Saturday and I enjoy it every time so much! Super smooth driving experience and the quality is amazing for a car in this segment. No complaints for me!! I would really recommend this car.
I’ve bought one of these! The cheapest trim - the Evolution. It’s SO nice. Obviously a part of me wanted the Alpine trim.. but in the end, reasoned I’d never put the car in “Sport” mode anyway, as I want the car to be as economic as possible. That’s why I’m buying it! Everything is pretty much the same… you get so much kit with the Evolution.. I love it. Great video… it’s made driving a game for me, trying to get the best scores of MPG each time… :)
I'm planning on getting the Esprit Alpine Clio this weekend. You're pleased with the car? I'm switching from a 2007 Peugeot 207, so hopefully this will be a welcome change :D
I just got the Mitsubishi-branded hybrid Renault Clio last week. What a brilliant car... Chose the Colt version because of Mitsubishi's 8 years warranty.
I change my car every 2 years so I don't need 8 years warranty, that's why I bought the Clio full hybrid alpine. And it comes with these beautiful seats which the mitsubishi doesn't have. But they are principally the same. Enjoy your Mitsubishi Clio 😉👌🏻
@@esperootje The Clio is a nice car but there really is no reason to change your car every 2 years. Why do you do that? Mass consumerism is harmful to the environment and the soul.
@@rajm2626 Yeah maybe you are right, but i just like to change objects once in a while. I like to improve and have new things, i guess this makes me happy, so i am very sorry for the environment but after 2 years i think i will go for the Austral, then i want to travel and i need more space.
Good question. If you climb upa mountain road the battery should drain quickly and the petrol engine only is not powerful enough to go fast. Sport mode is mandatory in this case
I bought this car a few weeks back but sadly in the UK the speakers are not Bose speakers and there is no 360 camera, no options to have either. Apparently different countries have different tech to others. Anyone else in the UK have the same issue. I still love the car though 🤣
I put in an order a couple if days ago, knowing that the bose system wasn't available, which was a shame. But even uk sites were talking of a 360 degree camera and was a bit surprised to find out it wouldn't be coming with one. No idea why at all. I do like the fact that there aren't lists of options, keeps things simple, and better for the wallet, but they should have that 360 on the highest spec at least.
@@alecv4622 It is a shame about the 360 camera feature not being available to the UK market, I’m sure I watched a video review and they mentioned the 360 camera. I’ve had my Esprit now in Diamond black for a few weeks and absolutely love the car, the 360 camera would have been the cherry on the cake though. 😁
@tonyclee1969 glad to hear you love it. I'm in that phase of doubting if I've made the right decision and will only know when I have the car. Cheers for the reassurance:). Went for Shadow grey after flip flopping between that and ceramic grey. Maybe a more boring choice, but looks smart I think.
@@SDADanCars in the models before March it was standard. Furthermore, the adaptive cruise control, the start and stop and the lane centering assist are part of the level 2 assisted driving that the Clio should have, so in practice without a single one of these the Renault is defrauding customers
Any thoughts on the new gearbox. It's been nicknamed 'one use' gearbox, because it's designed to break very fast, and they are not manufacturing spare parts.
I have to say... Our clio with this fabulous 1.33 tce is something special. I haven't seen a 130-140 horsepower engine that close to the performance we get... By the way, I've managed with mine (and quite a few others) 8.3 sec 0 to 100😅
The hybrid is heavier, also it's configured for efficiency rather than performance. The transition between the 2 electric motors and the engine is also too slow. If only they made a proper sport mode, where the engine is always running and you get 145HP at any time, instead of only certain speeds, it would easily do under 8 seconds.
usually in hybrids these power outputs are when electric and ICE are combined meaning when the two motors work at the same time.on the motorway usually the ICE works alone though so actually you have a 90hp car.
What's better in your opinion: This exact car, the exact trim and engine, or a Peugeot 208 GT with the Hybrid (100kw) engine? They're about the same, they both look pretty sweet too imo. Or any other good option under €30,000 that isn't a Yaris? Perhaps a VW Polo but I'd be worried about the fragile DSG on that one
My parents have the new Peugeot 208, I have this new Renault Clio esprit alpine. I would suggest that you go for the Clio because it feels bigger and the multimedia works much easier and better in the Clio. Overall the Clio is a small big car. The 208 is just a small car. Goodluck with your decision.
@@esperootje I've actually come to the same conclusion that the Clio feels more spacious. And thank you for your input regarding the infotainment system. It's a difficult decision to make haha
@@SebPineda this Clio comes with Bose Audio, it sounds fantastic. The 208 has no audio upgrade. This should make your decision much more easier if you like to listen to good music!
@@SebPineda yes I can imagine. I bought my first Clio initiale Paris with the Bose sound system 2 years ago and I can't live without it anymore. It's a really good sound and I am addicted to it, and the car around the sound system is also super good and I never had any issues with it. That's why I bought this new Clio.
I wouldn't recommend B drive mode at higher speeds. The thermic engine will charge the battery on high speeds. I find it much usefull inside the city when you have traffic jam. What about the storage in the back? Do you recommend it for a family with 1 baby? We need to care with us many stuffs always, and my Auris Hybrid isn't spacious enough :)
Your Auris has not enough space, and it's a bigger car than the Clio. So why would you consider a Clio when you know it is much smaller? I have this Clio in the same colour but most of the time I am alone in the car. I wouldn't recommend the Clio hybrid for a family with children with a lot of stuff. You need the Austral 😃👍🏻
@@esperootje hello! My Auris is not Touring Sport, but hatchback :) However, my comment wasn't about space, but B mode driving - when and how to use it. Cheers!
@@andrei-vladpopa3771 yes I understand. But when you said that your Auris is not spacious enough I thought it would be a bad decision to buy a smaller Clio and I just wanted to let you know. Cheers!
Does anyone knows, if the gearbox for the thermal engine, is a robotised old school?? I am interested for this hybrid car, but i don't want those old gearbox.
I would only use the auto-hold on steep roads. The car should have a hill start assist linked to the brake pedal...which normally holds for a few seconds as you move your foot from the brake to the accelerator.
Hey, if you can, could you do a video about peugeot 208 after restyling? Im looking to buy a new car for the end of the year, and undecided between this Clio and pegueot 208 gt line 136cv.
I am French and I believe me no one is speaking about 208 Peugeot because of the engine of stellantis puretech in France we call this engine puremerde = pure shit 💩! Good look if you want have one !
The quick answer is no. This model is very new and has far better technology, horsepower and autonomy. However this year we expect a new version of Yaris. If you want a new car now, better opt for this one over the Yaris. If you want a new car after 6 months, wait until then to compare.
@@timato6971 This is the Clio 2023 e-Tech Alpine version. I was considering buying this car but the dealer made me a very bad offer with high interest so I ran away. This is the full configured version of Clio and it has more advanced electronics and assistance systems than the current 4th generation Yaris which is nearly 5 years old. The Clio promises up to 900 km on a full tank. Finally because this is the Alpine version, it has more luxurious interior. This year, we are expecting the 5th generation of Yaris which will have new drivetrain, 130 HP and updated looks and systems. As a said in my previous post, if you want a Yaris, wait 6 months for the new version.
@@timato6971 Yaris is Toyota and toyota are very reliable. I've owned a Yaris for the last 14 Years. They're great. Not as much equipment, the're frugal and reliable. The thing is all Toyota and hondas hybrids are geting a CVT transmission and although Toyota makes the best CVTs in the market CVTs are just weird and not very pleasant. The term cognitive dissonance applies here. You press the gas and the car starts making noise and acelerates on it's own time but more efficient in terms of consuption i guess.

29k eur in Poland in this exact trim. 21k eur for Alpine but manual+90hp petrol engine (not hybrid). Hybrid+auto seems veeeeeery expensive for a B class car.

very good review and you are the first person to explain B mode
You used the lane keeping assist feature. But there is also a lane centering feature, it must be turned on in the settings.
Yea true 👍
Will you test the entry level "évolution" with the sce 65 or tce 90 engine ?
do you have the chance to try it in the mountains?
I hope i will get it in mountains to
Good question. If you climb upa mountain road the battery should drain quickly and the petrol engine only is not powerful enough to go fast. Sport mode is mandatory in this case
is this brake problem not only in the B mode of the gear or is it also in the D mode?

Just put an order in myself. Did a test drive and loved it but coming from a civic sport I’m about scared this won’t feel fun to me.
I have a question, what happened to the lane centering assist button on the steering wheel, I see it's empty now.
On this version the car didn’t come with that option if i remember correctly

Yea you are right 😁👍 it didn’t have that option on the car
Any thoughts on the new gearbox. It's been nicknamed 'one use' gearbox, because it's designed to break very fast, and they are not manufacturing spare parts.
To be honest i dont know to many things about reliability… we will see in time …
In all honesty, my Clio 5 1.33, 130 hp does 0 - 100 in 9 sec + a top speed of 200 km/h on paper. Crazy that 145 hp is a bit slower than that.
