Clio IV Overview Manufacturer Also called Renault Lutecia Production 1990–present Body and chassis Chronology Predecessor The Renault Clio is a , produced by the French automobile manufacturer. It was launched in 1990, and was in its fourth generation in 2012. The Clio has had substantial critical and commercial success, being consistently one of Europe's top-selling cars since its launch, and it is largely credited with restoring Renault's reputation and stature after a difficult second half of the 1980s. The Clio is one of only three cars, the others being the and, to have been voted twice, in 1991 and 2006. The Clio is sold as the Renault Lutecia ( ルノー ルーテシア, Runō Rūteshia) in Japan because retains the rights to the name Clio after establishing the sales channel in 1984. Lutecia is derived from the word, a former Roman city that is now known as.
The Renault Lutecia was formerly available through, but in 1999 Renault purchased a stake in Japanese automaker. Following Renault's takeover, distribution rights for the Lutecia were handed over to Nissan locations in 2000. Rear view of the Phase 3 Clio A minor trim facelift occurred after only a year of being on sale. A new 'smooth' version of the Renault diamond badge (the previous 'ribbed' badge was being phased out at the time) and a new front seat design were the only changes. The altered design did not constitute a new 'phase'. In March 1994 (at the ), the phase two model was launched, with small updates to the exterior and interior of the Clio.
Most noticeable was the change in the front grille from two metal ribs to a single colour-coded slat. The bump strips were made slightly larger and rounder and had the car's trim level badge incorporated into them. The badges on the tailgate strip were moved up onto the tailgate itself and the tailgate strip was given a look. The rear light clusters were given a slightly more rounded bubble shape, giving the Clio a more modern look. The clusters, however, are physically interchangeable with phase ones'. In May 1996, with the arrival of the phase three facelifted Clio, the 1.2 L Energy engine was replaced by the 1,149 cc (multi point injection) DiET engine, first used in the; for some time also, versions were available with the older 1239 cc ' unit from the original Twingo. The cylinder head design on the 1.4 L E-type was also slightly altered for the phase three models in a bid for better fuel economy.
This resulted in the engines producing slightly less power than their earlier versions. Phase 3 Clio (1996-98) The phase three Clios have a slightly more noticeable update than the phase twos. The phase three has different, more rounded headlights, incorporating the turn signal in the unit with the headlight, and the bonnet curves more around the edges of the lights. The tailgate incorporates a third brake light and a new script 'Clio' name badge, following the same typeface as contemporary Renaults. Some mechanical improvements were also made, as well as the introduction of side impact bars and airbags, which were now common features on mainstream cars across Europe. Renault also released a version of the Clio in 1991.

It was aesthetically very similar, but with the addition of a 110 PS (81 kW) 1.8 L eight-valve engine, side skirts and disc brakes on all wheels. This, with multi-point fuel injection, was badged as the RSi. From 1991 a lighter tuned version of this 1.8 litre engine (with single-point injection) joined the earlier 1.7 used in the very luxurious Baccara version which was sold in some continental European markets. In addition to this reasonably powerful engine, the Baccara has a luxurious interior with lots of leather and wood, as well as power windows, locks, etcetera.
The Baccara was renamed 'Initiale' in 1997, in line with other Renaults, differing from the Baccara mainly in the wheel design. Interior of 1993 Clio Baccara During 1991, a 1.8 L 16-valve engine producing 137 PS (101 kW) (also first seen in the Renault 19) capable of propelling the car to 209 km/h (130 mph) was introduced to the Clio engine range, known simply as the Clio 16S in France (S for 'soupapes', the French word for valves), and Clio 16V in export markets. It was the successor to the GT Turbo, which was discontinued that year as the R5 range was pruned back. As well as having a higher top speed than a regular Clio, the 16S sports wider plastic front wings, an offset bonnet vent, wider rear arches and uprated suspension and brakes, and colour-coded front mirrors and bumpers. The RSi side skirts were omitted, however. Inside, the 16V model has an extended instrument panel that houses dials for engine oil pressure, oil temperature, and oil level (which only indicates on engine start). The seats are also more supportive to match the sporting nature of the model.
The non-catalyzed versions, still available in some markets, offer 140 PS (103 kW) and marginally higher performance with top speeds up to 212 km/h (132 mph) and the 0–100 km/h (62 mph) time dropping from 8 to 7.8 seconds. In December 1990, the Clio was voted for 1991, and soon became one of Europe's best-selling cars, as well as the first Renault to be consistently among the top-10 best sellers in the United Kingdom, where it was selling in excess of 50,000 units a year by 1996. UK sales were helped by a famous television advertising campaign by Publicis shot in France, featuring the two main characters of Nicole (played by ) and Papa.
From 1991 to 1993, trim levels were identical in every European country. Starting in 1993, trim levels designations became more varied across the various markets. The car was sold as the Renault Lutecia (from, the Latin name for Paris) in Japan, as 'Clio' was used there by for one of their domestic marketing networks. Clio Williams. Clio Williams In 1993, Renault launched the Clio Williams as a limited edition of 3,800 cars (1,300 more than they needed for homologation purposes) with each car bearing a numbered plaque on the dash. These sold out so quickly that Renault ended up building 1,600 more.
After the first series, due to the demand, Renault built the Williams 2 and 3, with more than 12,000 eventually being built. However, many new road cars were directly converted to race cars and when damaged replaced with another converted road car, which means that the actual number of road cars is significantly lower than the figures suggest. The car was named after the then Renault-powered Formula One team, though Williams had nothing to do with the design or engineering of this Clio. The modifications to the Clio 16S on which it was based were the work of, Renault's motorsport division. Nevertheless, this car had a Formula One link by being the sport's in. The 1,998 cc (2.0 L; 121.9 cu in) per fed by, was rated at 147 PS (145 bhp; 108 kW) at 6,100 rpm and 175 N⋅m (129 lb⋅ft) at 4,500 rpm of. It has a top speed of 215 km/h (134 mph) equipped with performance-tuned ride and handling.
Renault Clio Interior
Renault later released the Williams 2 and Williams 3 special editions, much to the chagrin of those owners who had been assured of the exclusivity of the 'original' Williams. One common mistake people can make is thinking that the 2.0 16V used in the Williams is simply a bored out 1.8 16V (F7P), whereas, in reality the large engine had different size valves, cams, stroked crank and engine oil cooler. Other differences between the Williams and the Clio 16S it is based on include a wider front track with wishbones similar, but not the same as the Renault 19, wider Speedline alloys, uprated (JC5) gearbox, bespoke four-to-one manifold, firmer suspension, and some cosmetic differences on the exterior and interior. The differences between the three versions of the Williams were largely a reflection of phase changes across the Clio range, e.g. The gradual addition of enhanced safety features and cosmetic variations. Other than this, the Williams 1 and 2 had no sunroof and were painted in 449 Sports Blue.
The final Williams 3 was painted in a slightly brighter shade of blue (432 Monaco Blue) and finally gained a sunroof which had long been standard on virtually all previous Clios. The original Williams was the lightest of the three, lacking the electrics necessary for the sunroof or the mirrors, and was the only one to support a metal plaque stating the build number. Respected motoring journalists consistently rate the Williams as one of the very best ever maderegardless of era. Its many accolades included 3rd place in magazine's 'Greatest front-wheel-drive car ever' feature in 2006 behind the newer Clio 182 Trophy and Honda Integra Type-R and 6th place in 's Car Of The Decade feature in 2004. The Renault Clio Williams was and still is a very popular rally car. The basic racing version (Gr.N) had racing suspension, different engine management, and a more free flowing exhaust.
Power output was around 165 PS (121 kW). Roll cage was made by Matter France. Bucket seats were made.

The next step up was the Gr.A car, which was fitted with 16″ Speedline 2012 rims (with optional extractors), further improvements on suspension and more tuned engine producing between 205–220 PS (151–162 kW). Front brakes were also updated with 323 mm discs and four-pot Alcon brake calipers. The final evolution was the Renault kit-car with wider arches and 17″ Speedline 2012 rims and improved Proflex suspension. Sodemo engine was further tuned to 250–265 PS (184–195 kW).

Power at rpm Max. Renault Clio RS (Facelift) Development of the X65 commenced in 1991, a year after the May 1990 launch of the Clio. In 1992, Pierre Beuzit became project manager of the X65 programme.
In December 1993, a final design developed under Patrick Le Quement was approved, with development for production commencing, so in 1994 Renault rented a 129,600-square-foot building in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, west of Paris. More than 600 people from Renault and its suppliers went to work there. The X65 project team became a laboratory for Renault's Guyancourt technical center. Forty teams were created, each responsible for a section of the car. In February 1997, management moved market launch by over 1 month from 15 March 1998 to 11 April 1998. Development ended in 1997, as pre-production units began to be constructed at Flins.
The second generation of the Clio was launched on 9 March 1998 and sold for less than €8,000, with considerably more rounded and bulbous styling than its predecessor. Part of the radical concept of the new Clio were many components made of unusual materials to save in weight and repair costs. For instance, the front wings were made of plastic (following criticisms of corrosion in this part of the previous model and based on technology developed for the ) and the material of the bonnet was aluminium in some versions. Originally the engine lineup was similar to before, with 1.2 L, 1.4 L and 1.6 L petrol engines and a 1.9 L diesel.
The project manager from 1992-98 for the Clio II was. In early 2000, a sportive version equipped with a new 1.6 L 16-valve engine was introduced, and eventually, all the older petrol engines were upgraded to more powerful and more economical 16-valve versions. In 1998, Renault launched the 169 PS (124 kW) Clio Renault Sport (also known as Clio RS for short, named 172 in the UK and sold for less than €17,500 — 172 coming from the method measurement), with a 2.0 L 16-valve engine and a top speed of 220 km/h (137 mph). The standard Clio RTE powered with a 1.2 54 PS (40 kW) engine could reach 180 km/h on its maximum. The top-of-the-range Clio, however, was the 2001, originally engineered by for a one-make racing series, which placed a 230 PS (169 kW) 3.0 L engine, sourced from the, behind the front seats, with a top speed of 235 km/h (146 mph). Production was at the TWR factory in Sweden. Production over 3 years was approximately 1513 vehicles with 256 sold in the UK.
In 2000, a few minor changes were made to the Clio range, which included revised specification levels, a new instrument cluster, and a passenger airbag fitted as standard for all models. The Clio achieved a four-star rating in 2000, which was class-leading at the time. In Japan, Renault was formerly licensed by, but in 1999, Renault purchased a stake in Japanese automaker after Nissan had faced financial troubles following the collapse of the in 1991 and subsequent. As a result of Renault's purchase of interest, Yanase canceled its licensing contract with Renault in the spring of 2000, and Nissan took over as the sole licensee, hence sales of the Lutecia II in Japan were transferred from Yanase Store locations to Nissan Red Stage Store locations.
Facelifts 2001. 2003 Major revisions were made to the mid-engine 3.0 litre V6 model in line with the facelift introduced to the regular models in 2001 including revised frontal styling, new dashboard and higher equipment levels including climate control, cruise control and xenon headlights. The power output of the engine was raised by 25 PS (18 kW) to 255 PS (188 kW), giving it a top speed of 153 mph (246 km/h) and a 0-62 mph (100 km/h) time of 5.8 seconds. Emissions are 285g/km and meet Euro IV standards 2 years before the implementation deadline. The chassis was also significantly revised with a slightly longer wheelbase and revised suspension together with larger 18 inch alloy wheels. For the Phase 2 V6, production was transferred from TWR's Swedish factory to the dedicated Renault Sport Alpine factory at Dieppe in Northern France.
Production from 2003 to the end of 2005 was approximately 1309 vehicles of which 354 were sold in the UK. In 2004, Phase 3 followed starting on a 53 Plate, this was just some small changes to bring it up to date. The front bumper was changed giving it a wide lower grille and the foglights were bulged out at the side (cars not equipped with foglights remained using the older ph2 bumper), the upper grille was changed and the headlights (which previously had black background) now had grey. The 15' alloy wheels were changed and were now a 15' version of the facelift 172 model on Dynamique and Extreme models. Clear side repeaters were added, as was a colourcoded rear spoiler (again on Dynamique spec cars).
In the South American market, the facelifted Clio continued to use the dashboard of the 1998 model and was never updated, except for the 2008 model that included the same interior of the European version with little changes, and continued having the same exterior as the phase II model. On the inside the pattern on the seats was changed for a simpler one, and the dials were changed to do away with the fuel and water temperature needles and now featured a larger screen that included a digital version of these gauges as well as the mileage and trip computer. Climate control equipped cars were given a vent in the back of the glove box so it could be climate controlled. Under the bonnet a new 100 PS (74 kW) dCi engine was available (the 1.2 16v also received a new engine developed with Nissan). Rear disks were fitted on 1.6 16v models and DCi 100 models equipped with ESP.
On this second facelift, the Clio Renault Sport's power was improved to 182 PS (134 kW) (in the UK, the designation RS 182 was adopted). For the first time there were two options in chassis stiffness for the RS model. The standard Settings (different from the non-sport models), and CUP badge chassis, 20 mm lower, larger stabilizer bars, and stiffer suspension with dark graphite alloy wheels. At the 2006, Renault exhibited a Hi-Flex Clio II with a 1.6 L 16-valve engine. This vehicle, which addresses the Brazilian market, features Renault-developed technology, with a highly versatile engine that can run on fuel containing a blend of gasoline and in any proportion (0% to 100% of either).
The new Thalia uses Clio II platform, with little modifications to the interior but has a complete new exterior In 1999, Renault launched the version of the Clio II, named Clio Symbol in Turkey and Eastern Europe, Thalia in Central Europe, Clio Classic in Asia and North Africa, Clio Sedan in Brazil and Paraguay, or Symbol in the rest of South America (except Argentina where it was called Clio). The car was intended for sale in, where saloons were traditionally preferred over hatchbacks, most notably in, where the Thalia was cheaper than the Clio, but was still about 30% more expensive than the, also sold by Renault as a model. In some Latin American markets the sedan was offered as the Nissan Platina (manufactured in, Mexico), with slight changes in the front of the car to make it resemble the. The sedan version of the Clio was facelifted in 2002, with new exterior similar to the facelifted Clio, better equipment and safety levels. In the fall of 2006, an improved Clio sedan has been offered, renamed in Eastern Europe as Renault Symbol.
This model featured the interior of the facelifted Clio II with very minor parts commonality with, as well as new standard and optional equipment, such as automatic and a. The model earned moderate reception in the domestic market. Renault introduced the second generation of the Symbol/Thalia model at the 2008 Moscow Motor Show. The new model features chrome-trimmed front grille and rear fascia, while powered by similar engines as the range. The new Symbol/Thalia was designed for the Eastern and Central Europe, Russia, Turkey and North Africa. Watchdog controversy.
The 2009 Renault Clio Hi-Flex 1.0, developed in Brazil, is a version that runs on any blend of gasoline and In April 2006, the programme aired details of over 1,000 incidents involving Clio IIs in which the flew open without warning while still being driven, usually at high speeds, and sometimes. The problem was found to be caused by the catch not being cleaned and lubricated during servicing causing it to stick in the open position. Renault investigated the issue with the aid of the (VOSA) and a 'task force' of Renault departments to test the design but found no problem with the bonnet catch and so would not issue a recall. Renault instead wrote to owners of the model and offered to 'remedy for free any catches where there has been poor maintenance'. Watchdog has since claimed other experts have contacted them with accusations that Renault was expecting people to maintain a flawed part that would corrode over time and could cost lives., Chair of the Government's Road Safety Group, later tabled a motion in the urging further action. Renault was accused by its Press Relations Manager Graeme Holt, who quit in protest, of downplaying the serious 'fault' and putting customers' lives in danger.

It is considerably larger and 130 kg (287 lb) heavier as well as being more expensive than the Clio II, and, at nearly 4,000 mm (157 in) in length, has almost outgrown the class. This was the result of a decision to move the Clio upmarket. It also brings the trademark 'Renault Card' keyless immobiliser to the Clio for the first time. The new Clio achieved a 5-star safety rating, joining the rest of Renault's family at the maximum safety rating (with the exception of the and the ). Sales began throughout Europe in October 2005. It was voted 2006, becoming the first car to win twice, defeating the rival by just 5 points. The Clio was described by several people as the new benchmark for its category and by one judge as a 'great little car that should inspire bigger ones'.
The trophy for the award was presented in January 2006 to the Renault chief executive at a ceremony in Italy organized by Auto Magazine. In June 2006 the sales of the third generation Clio Renault Sport started in France for the price of €23,000. The Clio Renault Sport is equipped with a new naturally aspirated 16-valve 2.0 L engine based on the earlier version used in the second generation Clio Renaultsport and a 6-speed. The engine develops 197 PS (145 kW) at 7250 rpm. The top speed is 215 km/h (134 mph) and 0–100 km/h (62 mph) takes 6.9 seconds. An estate version called Sport Tourer was unveiled in March 2007.
At the same time, Renault replaced the 1.4 L atmospheric engine with a new 1.2 TCe version, with 101 PS (74 kW) and 145 N⋅m (107 lb⋅ft) of torque. In the 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears over 4500 rpm the turbocharger adds 5 extra HP. Unlike its predecessors, the Japanese-spec Renault Lutecia III was not available at any dealership location, as Yanase had ended its import rights for Renault after Renault had acquired a stake in Nissan when the Lutecia II was still in production. Instead, the Renault Lutecia III was sold exclusively through Nissan Red Stage Store locations. Renault Clio RS (facelift) A facelifted version of the Clio III went on sale in the on 15 May 2009.
It features better quality materials used in the interior and is better equipped than the pre-facelift model. It is also introduced with a new Clio RS variant, intended to slot between the regular Clio and the Clio 182 RS The Clio GT has a new aggressive front end styling incorporating a black grille, extended side sills, suspension settings unique to the 'RS variant, and a twin tailpipe design with a lip spoiler on the rear end. The Renault Clio III also became the basis for the Renault Clio Gordini 20-34 (limited edition) introduced in the United Kingdom in 2010. The Clio Gordini 200 is equipped with a 2.0L F4R engine which develops 200 CV (147 kW; 197 hp; 200 PS). However, the limited edition is priced as low as the usual version. The range was reduced in late 2012, due to the launch of the Clio IV. However, in France and Spain it remained in the range as the Clio Collection and was in production until 2014.
2016 facelift The diesel range has two versions of the 1.5 straight-4 engine, one of 75 hp (56 kW) and one of 90 hp (67 kW), which can have a CO 2 emission level of 83 g/km. This section needs expansion.

In the United Kingdom, the Clio was advertised on television using the characters ' (a flirtatious young French woman played by ) and ' (her somewhat slow-witted father played by ). The 1994 advert featured as Nicole's boyfriend. The commercials were very popular and in the final one of the series it actually featured and, in a sequence parodying. In 2000, the 1991 commercial 'Interesting' was named the 12th best television commercial of all time, in a poll conducted.
Sound clips of the advert were played repeatedly on when it was discovered and his girlfriend had named their newborn daughter Nicole. In 1999, a television advert was launched worldwide for the Renault Clio Limited edition featuring a man who was saying 'Get up ah!' All the time, it was actually the only sound he can hear from a Clio passing in front of his house early in the morning, then the advert shows the five men inside the Clio and moving their heads to the rhythm of the song '. Same advertising made in Argentina with the Clio II in 2000 with this song. The Clio II advertising campaign featured French model, and French international footballer for the Clio II facelift, both attempting to define the term va-va-voom, a term later defined by the as 'The quality of being exciting, vigorous, or sexually attractive', although they state that it dates from the 1950s. In, the Clio had a trim level called Va Va Voom.
The trim level has been discontinued. In Mexico, The Clio II's latest campaign reads 'todo por mi Clio' ( anything for my Clio), depicting one would give anything to keep one's Clio safe from danger. The Renault Clio RS 200 EDC hatchback was one of the many vehicles that can be unlocked in with a certain amount of coins in the game. The latest campaign to date for the Clio was for the Renault Clio III, which featured French actress and English actor as Sophie and Ben (respectively), trying to outdo each other over the superiority of each nation via a range of cultural aspects.
