Renault Clio Sport Tourer

Renault Clio Sport Tourer

The Renault Clio Sport Tourer based on the Clio III is one of the most compact estate cars on the market. It has the same wheelbase as the hatchback at 2,575mm but has a 216mm longer rear overhang because of its estate rear.

The 439 litre boot can be extended to 1277mm when you fold the split fold rear seats down. The shape of the rear bumper and the low sill height of 581mm allows easy boot access with no protuberances. The boot has a removable floor flap, which when removed increases boot space by a further 72 litres.

Three petrol engines and three diesel engines are available. The baseline petrol units is a 75 horsepower 1.2 litre 16 valve. This is the manual model – when equipped with a robotized manual transmission (similiar to our Savvy AMT) the engine is tuned up to produce 80 horsepower. Next in line is a 100 horsepower 1.2 litre 16V turbocharged engine, with a peak torque of 145Nm at 3,000rpm. I wonder if somehow someone could stuff this engine into a Savvy. The top of the range gasoline in a 1.6 litre 16V with 110 horsepower and 151Nm of torque at 4,250rpm.

Oil burners are all 1.5 litre DCi engines in different stages of tune – 70 horsepower with 160Nm of torque, 85 horsepower with 200Nm of torque and 105 horsepower with 240Nm of torque.

    the last tune could be a turbo diesel variant, with that torque, overtaking seems effortless, wish proton would have got that engine instead, then savvy be selling like hot cakes

    well lately french car design, probally what they mean ‘design’ is to be different, well.. some may like it, some not,
    for me not really, some citroen ok,

    apart from recaro seat which is for me superb, french car is very good at seat ,comfy but not sagging, citroen zx, renault 19, even the tiara 1.1(its gene), seats is soothing, but renaults car pedal is flatten bit, with smallish ballish contact bit like u step on a pebble, clonky gear,unspirited engine, crude plastic,

    not sure lately

    lol..
    the video ad is just like 24 drama series. it starred by clio and not jack bauer.

    anyway, the engines package is just fine except the rear end design. something missing and not proportional. perhaps the latest french design??

    but the 1.5 diesel got a lots of torque.

    can we use minyak masak ser murni as replacement for diesel oil?

    Overall design not too bad…the1.2 liter 16V turbo will probably be top economy pick(non-diesel), with enough grunt for that weekend trip up Genting…

    Quite an odd shape this Clio Sport Tourer is I must say . It doesn’t look cohesive at all. What’s next ? Clio Sedan perhaps ?

    BTW Paul, I reckon the 1.2L 16V Turbo charge engined could fit into the Savvy engine bay assuming the engine mounting points are the same.
