Renault is gearing up to the reveal of the all-new Clio supermini - and a short teaser video has whet our appetite ahead of its public debut at this year's Geneva Motor Show. Likely to go on sale in the middle of 2019, the fifth-generation Clio will mark a big step forward for the popular small French car in order to take on the likes of the latest Ford Fiesta, VW Polo and SEAT Ibiza. An electrified powertrain option and basic semi-autonomous driving assistance features are expected to be big new additions.
The 88th running of the Geneva International Motor Show gets underway on March 6 and organizers have confirmed a total 110 world or European premieres. More than 180 exhibitors will be present at the show, including all your favorite performance and luxury marques plus a number of newcomers. Approximately 700,000 visitors are expected to cross the floors of the various halls that make up Geneva’s Palexpo convention center. Watch this Interview with Laurens van den Acker and Thierry Bolloré, Renault.
Born from the cooperation between Renault's French and Indian Design divisions, the Kiger show car is an SUV with an adventurous look exuding an attractive energy that catches both the eye and the mind. With its DNA it is predestined for the urban jungle as well as the great outdoors.At first glance, the Kiger show car stands out with its sculpted bonnet, slender windscreen and a semi-floating roof with a roof rack. On both sides, the tapered mirrors have been designed like airplane wings. At the rear, the roof drop is topped by a spoiler, giving the vehicle a very airy look. The lower section is more muscular and stockier, resting on four 19-inch wheels framed by large square arches that give strength to the exterior styling. The 210-mm ground clearance with reinforced lower flaps and prominent shoulders confirm the escape spirit of the SUV. The sporty side is accentuated by the dual centrally located exhaust tailpipes and the honeycomb patterns distributed around the vehicle.
Designed according to the "Evolution and Revolution" principle, the All-New Clio rewrites the rule book with more mature body styling and an entirely revamped interior. Featuring more sculpted lines and a more assertive front end, the All-New Clio gains in vitality and modernity while remaining instantly recognisable, despite the fact that it comprises 100 per cent new parts. Inside, the revolution is strikingly clear. The completely redesigned interior is inspired by higher-end segments, both in terms of perceived quality and available technology. These strengths benefit all motorists, bringing them greater practicality and ease in use.
Bien après son allié Nissan, Renault arrive sur le segment des crossovers compacts. Désormais incontournable, cette catégorie est en passe de supplanter, du fait d'un style plus sexy et d'aspects pratiques sauvegardées, celle des monospaces compacts. La qualité de pionnier de Renault en la matière, avec le Scénic, explique en partie le retard du Losange sur le terrain des crossovers. Résultat, le nouveau Kadjar devra affronter une concurrence fournie.
