PRINTED FORTNIGHTLY — VOLUME 461
The new Clio GT steps into the Renault range with a distinctive sporty gait.
Cocky Clio climbs into the small-car ring T
hat 21st century automotive niche, the hot five-door coupe, has a new member in the shape of the Renault Clio GT, a brother to the price-point base Clio and the hot-hatch Clio RS. With three-door car sales on the slide, the latest addition to the fourth generation Clio follows the trend in deserting a three-door body for a five-door set-up with retained coupe characteristics aided by hidden
BY DEREK OGDEN rear-door handles, therefore retaining some appeal to the fewer-door fans. Buyers want the convenience of back doors so the kids can get in and out of the back seats without the parents having to leave their front seats. The all-new Renault Clio range has been lowered, is longer, wider and with an
increased wheelbase over its predecessor, presenting a more cocky look with handling to match. Occupants also reap the benefit, with more space, which with high quality materials in the surroundings, puts them in mind of a more expensive, premium vehicle. The new Clio variant comes in two specification levels – GT and GT Premium – powered by a 1.2-litre four-cylinder petrol
engine mated with a six-speed automatic transmission. Surprisingly for a European car, no manual model makes it Down Under which is a sign of the times. Sitting in the middle of the light car segment Clio GT prices start at $25,290 for the entry-level model and top out at $28,790 for the GT Premium.

Cocky Clio climbs into the small-car ring From page 1 A long list of options can be added to the GT, while the GT Premium is already well specced with such things as 17-inch anthracite alloy wheels, rear lip spoiler, side sills, rear diffuser, front and rear bumpers including GT bumper, steering column mounted gearshift paddles, GT badging for sports seats, leather steering wheel, Renault Sport kickplates and hands-free keycard. Sitting lower to the ground, the Clio GT looks to the hot hatch RS for its appearance. Sporty styling goes indoors with bolstered-sport seats, upholstered in an exclusive GT finish with GT embroidery on the head rests, snugly holding anyone with up to an average back width. Storage includes a 1.2-litre tray above the glove box, two cup holders and additional storage for small items between the front seats, while each door has a bin that can carry a 1.5-litre bottle. The new Clio features two levels of in-car entertainment platforms – Renault’s Media Nav and R-Link. Built into the centre console, the Media Nav system, with seven-inch touchscreen, provides basic multimedia functions and is standard in the Clio GT. The Clio GT Premium has Renault’s R-Link entertainment system (an option with the GT), also a seven-inch touchscreen, voice commands and a home page
that can be personalised by the user for safer, but still potentially distracting, access to key functions. A menu with six icons provides access to navigation, multimedia, phone, vehicle, services and apps. The Clio GT is powered by the Renault TCe 120 80 kW 1.2-litre directinjection turbo engine mated to a six-speed EDC (Efficient Dual Clutch) Getrag transmission, serving up official fuel consumption of 5.2-litres per 100 kilometres on the combined cycle . With a maximum 190 Nm of torque on tap, zero to 100km/h is achieved in 9.4 seconds on the way to a top speed of 199 km/h. The Clio GT puts out a classleading 120 grams per km of carbon dioxide. Every version of the new Clio is equipped with electronic stability control, traction control, ABS antilocking brakes and emergency brake assist, plus more direct variable-rate electric power steering. Standard hill start assist also helps when taking off on steep inclines. A reinforced body and suspension, plus driver and passenger chest and head airbags, seatbelts with load limiters and, for those in the front, pretensioners protect occupants in a crash. The Clio GT has a five-year / unlimited kilometre warranty and is eligible for Renault’s capped price servicing of $299 per calendar year for the first three years.
