Renault’s New Clio Enters Sixth Generation With Hybrid Flagship, From €19,900 in Early 2026

Renault sticks with petrol plus full‑hybrid powertrains to keep the Clio affordable against its own electric models.

Ein Normverbrauch von 3,9 l macht den Vollhybrid zu einem der sparsamsten Kleinwagen am Markt.
Das Einstiegsmodell startet bei 19.900 Euro und der gefahrene Vollhybrid bei 24.200 Euro.
Der Radstand ist zwar nur um einen Zentimeter auf 2,59 m gewachsen, doch legt der Clio in der Länge um sieben Zentimeter zu und streckt sich nun auf 4,12 m.
Der Kofferraum fasst je nach Antrieb bis zu 391 l Ladung.

Overview

  • First‑drive reports confirm a bolder look and larger footprint, now 4.12 meters long with the wheelbase increased by about one centimeter.
  • The cabin moves to digital instruments and a touchscreen running Google software, aligning navigation and infotainment with Renault’s EVs.
  • The range pairs a 1.2‑liter three‑cylinder entry engine (85 kW/115 PS) with a Full Hybrid E‑Tech setup using a 1.8‑liter petrol engine, two electric motors, and a 1.4 kWh buffer battery.
  • The hybrid delivers roughly 116–118 kW (158–160 PS), posts a quoted 3.9 l/100 km, can reach 180 km/h, and is claimed to cover up to 80% of city driving on electric power.
  • Sales start shortly after New Year at €19,900, with the Full Hybrid from €24,200, and no full battery‑electric version is offered in this generation.
