  • Believe it or not, the Renault Clio is Europe’s second best-selling car behind the Volkswagen Golf. The all-new fifth-generation Clio has a lot to live up to, then, so how will it take the fight to its numerous rivals - cars like the Ford Fiesta, Volkswagen Polo, Vauxhall Corsa and Peugeot 2008 - many of which are very good indeed? The answer is with style and technology, says Renault, so does the Clio deliver. Auto Trader’s Road Test Editor Ivan Aistrop goes to Lisbon, Portugal to find out.

    You say it can't match the Polo on the plushness side in terms of materials? Are you serious. The new Polo is just hard plastic everywhere apart from the top of the dash. The Clio has more soft touch surfaces. This is a typical biased journalist thing to say. VW no longer makes interiors that are plush. They've started using more hard plastic than anyone else. They're honestly not as great as all of them say it is inside.

      Plush doesn't have to mean soft touch materials.. It just means expensive feeling so that can be down to the tactile buttons with a satisfying click or the feel of the leather. Can mean a variety of things which having owned a vw I believe they still do albeit the difference is not as big as it once was

    I’ve driven in both the new Clio (100hp) as the current Polo(95hp). While the Clio does look more luxurious when you sit in it, the Polo feels more luxurious. And then I’m talking about the steering wheel, buttons, the screen etc. The cabin of the Clio is quieter tough.

    All these reviews could only be realistic and somewhat objective if the reviewer could not see the badge of the car or if for example this car came with fake vw badge. Like this however we are presented with prejudices and cliches stuck deep in the mind of the reviewer which are simply not trrue.

    I'm sorry but the materials in the clio are better than in the polo, it's got more soft touch materials, even on the door tops which the polo doesn't, i've seen many reviews that confirm that. To me, the Clio 5 has one of the best quality interior of its segment if not the best.

    To all who criticize VW POLO on the quality of its interior. Go check the competition first and then judge. I laugh at the other person below who said that the interior of the new Clio is better than the Polo. Where did he see one? They are not on sale as yet! Who's biased then? Quality on the new Polo is way ahead of its current competitors. I went a year ago when in search of a new supermini, the current Clio is way behind, all plastics, controls, seats feel so cheap I walked away right away, only one close to Polo was the Fiesta and if it had better rear passenger space and boot I would most probably had chosen it instead of the Polo, because the way it drived was way better than anything else. The Seat Ibiza on the other hand also had not quality interior, the materials seemed cheap, it was all hard plastic and even the boot floor it was made as of plain carpet, not well carpeted lid as in the Polo. Polo is the best all rounder, this is not only my opinion after driven and seen the competition but also the opinion of most of the experts. So better be carefull and do your research before voicing your negative opinion about something you only saw on youtbe or on tv.
