Since we did not do the detailed walkaround review, we decided to bring the detailed review within the drive rather.
I have some love-hate relationship with it, it reminded me of the things was not particularly fond of when it comes to the Clio, the shifter is quite rough and needs some serious hard pulls to get into gear, I love smooth-shifting manuals as they add to the fun and helps you work quicker when feeling like driving spiritedly, it was not all gloom though as they finally got rid of the 1.2 and 0.9L 55kw/66kw engines as I was complaining about them, now this engine is a bit more punchy and brings some confidence in overtakes as it is not a heavy car so 74kw/160nm will not necessarily be boring on the long road trips. Yes it won't go up the hill like a +100kw engine but it is somewhat a serious improvement.
Clio has always been a little sensible than sporty (I am talking normal cars, not R.S) when it comes to the curve and fast cornering, it has not been as agile as the Ford Fiesta (Which I regard as the best in that department) and the Polo which is a forever loved "Let's play" car. However, it has really improved especially with the steering wheel mode settings which really work to stiffen or soften the steering wheel and the ability of the wheels to point to the direction you are asking of them. It can now add some bit of fun in that short town drives.
In town, the pillar on the right can be quite challenging together with the curves on the car, they seem a little reduced on Clio V compared to IV but the camera is now available to help you take those reverse parking like a pro. It has acceptable handling to some bumpy roads which in this class it is usually just as acceptable.
Where I never had an issue and even compared to the competition is a feeling of comfort and being in a more cozy, comfortable room for highway travel with above-average insulation for this class in relation to wind and road noise, it is sitting on low profile tyres and I am finding it still one of the best cruisers in this class, it feels well attached to the ground and you really don't get than "tin" like noise or feeling in this car at all, thanks to the choice of materials. So long trips in a Clio are still a tick for me.

I have never been impressed by a Clio until now. It is absolutely stunning
Its a beautiful looking car honestly👌🏾
I was a bit on the fence about getting this car, but this video just convinced me to upgrade from my 2020 Stepway to this top-spec Clio V. What a beauty!
A clean car, only issue is the manual gearbox but besides that, can't fault much on it.
If I were to buy a hatchback,this is the one I would go for🔥♥️,I just love how Renault price there cars and the price they advertise is actually the one you pay ,unlike other model.also the interior of this new clio hay I give them 10/10 it catched my heart ♥️ I clean,simple and good appealing..thanks for the drive review 🔥great content bro 🤝
This is a lovely vehicle honestly. One of the best alternatives. It can really make you feel like you are in a premium car, especially at top spec. Thank you so much bro🙂🤜🏾
This car looks good, no doubt. But in terms of reliability and longevity, I hope Renault gets their act up. I've heard a lot of people complaining about the reliability of the car and just getting stuff sorted when something breaks.
I think the previous Clio worked hard to calm those reliability issues down a bit and the shortage of parts was mostly owed to availability of Renault cars in the streets. Some parts are now actually just available OTC in the spare stores and thats a great improvement from 5-7 years ago. I agree that in some drastic situations you may have to wait longer. We needed the key card replaced at some point and it was being ordered from France with a waiting period obviously. Luckily we found someone outside the dealership who had them.
Yeah true ,unlike the Chinese cars,Renault has been in the market for quite some time now
4 years later and it has finally arrived, meanwhile in some EU countries they are already expecting a newer model as this is an old model.. ya nhe
I think it might get a facelift soon but due to the delay we experienced, it might also be delayed. It looks super fresh in the flash because its new to us. I just don't know how they will manage the changes as it came so late
Bro was flying in this hatch😂😂😂
😅😅😅... Need to test it properly😅
This one looks good, and I’m considering trading in my 2020 Kia Rio because of 1 reason = Turbo!!! Jeez the car screams on open and highways, especially going up a hill. But unhappy we getting the Clio 4 years after being introduced, let me wait for the automatic but I can’t forget how my friend struggled with his Renault (parts) and begged me to never buy a Renault. Please also test the Polo, it looks and feels so solid but I can’t justify the price once extras have been added, I must also consider the new i20.
They really took time with this one especially considering that it might be due a facelift in Europe soon but have to say this is a great looking car regardless.👌🏾
I did experience an issue with a Clio key but was sorted outside the dealership as they were going to take time but the more people buy the more parts are readily available.
The Rio looks nice but not having Turbo is a real issue these days especially as engines are getting smaller and smaller. For some reason I have always been struggling when it comes to the VW products. I struggle to lock a relationship where I can do a review.
Well I got the i20 here though: th-cam.com/video/-6247sGOfFU/w-d-xo.html
Fanstic in depth review as always mara ke were is da automatic modelzzz dear Renault SA
Thanks a lot Aphiwe.🙂🙂🤜🏾
Eish, I think price was an issue. One of the reasons this car was delayed was pricing. They have to keep it as low as possible and also protect it against the Kiger which is somehow a competition for 1st car these days
@@sebuwam are you saying we won't see a Clio VI? Coming to South Africa
@@amoschoma4820 Hi, I am not sure about 6. I was referring to automatic version of 5. I hear they will be bringing it though
Ugh man I love this car,wish I can afford it😢
May God bless you with it🙂
Yeah this is my favourite video because I'm planning on buying a car next year so I'm still comparing coz I don't wanna buy a Polo , you really went into detail, with that gearbox issue do you perhaps know when are we gonna autos ?
I did not expect that... thank you so much Ctjhaba😊😊🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾. I did not come across any info relating the auto or cvt unfortunately and its needed.
Wow a very improved product indeed, this one I can easily recommend, especially because of updated technology, safety features and price. Not long ago I saw a Polo 85KW R-line at about R510 thousand, and it was not even specked with IQ lights, so I'd rather get the Clio than being robbed on a daylight. Thanks a lot for the video and keep up the good work sir🙏🙏 🙏
Thanks a lot Demtumza. As promised, managed to get time to push for the test drive. 🙂
I have to say the Polo's 85kw engine is a dream to drive but the price is getting out of our hands. One thing though is that when they discotinued normal TSI golfs, they were trying to manage this as the Polo has actually grown to Golf level, even in technology. So I guess we gonna have to accept that maybe Polo is jut the new Golf TSI🤔
@@sebuwam That is true, but personally I will never spent half a million for 1.0 litre of displacement, never🤣🤣🤣
@@demtumza Its rough. Economy is against us eish. I feel the same but you just never know😅
I wish they had an automatic version. I hate changing gears.
I think they tried as much as possible to keep the price below R400K and that might have tipped the scale. I understand it might make some people doubt but somehow I forgive it as its not unusual to drive manuals in this class🤔
How much does it cost
R360K full spec
How long will it take for it to drop to maybe like 300k or under?😢😂
Some top spec variants are already at around R280K. Good car this one👌🏾
Why is Renault so obsessed with boot space when they can just widen the clio to be more spacious.
But Clio is a bit spacious compared to some cars ey
Unfortunately still the same exterior
Our Clio IV was different to this one.
