Clio loads up

Renault's new Clio estate is now on sale, priced from £12,095. Each model is £850 more than
the five-door Clio, but has 50 per cent more boot space.

The estate (below) is available only in Dynamique trim, with the entry-level engine the 75bhp 1.2-litre 16V. There’s a choice of three petrol and two diesel units, with the flagship 1.5 dCi 106bhp costing £14,495. An Expression Summer special edition is currently offered for £11,215.

Roof bars, a flat boot floor and a hidden storage area in the load bay all come as standard.
