The 2025 Renault Clio is a hybrid hatchback with FWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the Gen 5 LCI generation. The 1.6 E-Tech Hybrid Esprit Alpine is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured 1.6 E-Tech Hybrid Esprit Alpine version develops 145 hp and 205 Nm (151 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 9.3 seconds, which is measured, with performance geared more toward normal driving than acceleration. Top speed is listed at 180 km/h (112 mph). Its power output is about 20% above the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 6% quicker than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Fuel economy and range
The listed fuel consumption is 4.2 L/100km. Fuel-tank capacity is 36.0 litres (9.5 US gallons). Recorded CO2 emissions are 96 g/km. Consumption, emissions and range can be measured under different regional procedures, so like-for-like comparisons should use the same market and test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,050 mm (159.4 in) in length, 1,798 mm (70.8 in) in width, and 1,440 mm (56.7 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,583 mm (101.7 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 301 litres (10.6 cu ft), expanding to 979 litres (34.6 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,250 kg (2,756 lb). That cargo volume is about 10% below the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of E-Tech Full Hybrid 145 and 1.6 E-Tech Hybrid Esprit Alpine. Across the range, the specifications span 145 hp and 9.3 s, while listed starting prices run from $22,600-$25,200. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby hybrid hatchback models from the same period, the 2025 Renault Clio is strongest on power, while cargo capacity stands out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
