The particular Clio’s 4th generation keeps the exact same platform, albeit deeply changed, along with various 110kg taken off it. At release time, motors will be two raw TCE direct injection turbos: a 3 cylinder, 0.9-litre alongside 89bhp along with a 4 cylinder 1.2-litre alongside 114bhp. At the diesel front perfectly receive two variants of the extensively updated 1.5 dCi, alongside 74bhp and also 89bhp.

The gearbox for Renault Clio 1.0 TCE is actually the exact same five-speed guide as the particular existing Clio but yet with revised linkage and various ratios. The particular steering is actually new, with electrical electric power assistance and also a faster rack.
