Black magic for Clio’s birthday special

12th February 2010

Two decades on and still going strong! Renault’s Clio turns 20 this year, and a special edition has been launched to mark the occasion.

The car features ‘20th’ badging on the B-pillars, plus a gloss black finish for the front bumper and door mirrors. Climate control, extra-tinted rear glass and cruise control with a speed limiter are included as standard.  

On sale now, there’s a choice of four engines; two petrol and two diesel. The former are a 1.2-litre TCe turbo at £14,671 and a 1.6-litre VVT 128 at £15,421. The diesels are 86 or 106bhp versions of the 1.5-litre dCi unit, priced at £15,643 and £16,595. Only five-door cars are available.

The firm is also launching a 20th anniversary Renaultsport Clio, although it won’t be coming to Britain. But its black roof will be available as a £408 option for UK Renaultsport Clio buyers.
