Renault Unveils Sixth-Generation Clio at Munich, Centering on Hybrid Power and Google-Ready Tech

Production is slated to begin in 2025 ahead of a Europe launch before the end of the year.

Overview

  • The range spans an E‑Tech hybrid plus 1.2‑liter petrol and LPG Eco‑G options; Renault claims the hybrid delivers 157 hp, up to 80% electric driving in city use and as much as 1,000 km range at 25.6 km/l combined.
  • Reports differ on the hybrid’s combustion engine size, with Renault materials citing 1.8 liters as El Periódico describes a 1.6‑liter, 160‑CV setup.
  • A new clutchless multimodal transmission manages electric and thermal drive and uses the electric motor for reversing.
  • Cabin upgrades include dual 10.1‑inch displays with native Google services and an optional 410‑watt Harman Kardon system developed with Jean‑Michel Jarre, while the safety suite offers up to 29 ADAS and a My Safety Switch for quick deactivation.
  • Renault confirmed a 2025 production start and European sales before year‑end, and El Economista reports the new Clio will be built in Turkey as the current Clio 5 leads 2025 European sales.
