Sporty And Seductive Renault Clio Gt-Line
With the increasing market shift towards engine downsizing for economy and ecological reasons alike, with the launch of Clio, Renault broke ground with the introduction of its 66kW Turbo engine and Stop/Start technology (zero emission, zero consumption when stationary plus fast restart).
While the Clio GT-Line is equipped with the F1-inspired 900cc 66kW Turbo engine found in the Clio Expression and Dynamique variants, thanks to the inclusion of the overboost function, it packs added punch squeezing out an additional 4kW and 15Nm in 2nd and 3rd gears for up to 20 seconds respectively and pushing peak power output to 70kW @ 5 250 rpm and 150Nm torque @ 2 500 rpm.
Renault's focus on the advancement of engine technology is keen and its Turbo Control Efficiency engine line-up is a direct result of Renault's F1 technology transfer prowess and capabilities. The company is, however, committed to making strategic and commercial choices that favour ecological balance.
While the performance and practicality of its 66kW Turbo engine with overboost is powerful, the reduction in fuel consumption (4.5 litres/100km in NEDC Combined Cycle) and CO? emissions (105g/km) is significant.
That engine downsizing is the way forward is undisputed and this has been demonstrated on the F1 stage where performance, fuel efficiency, quality and reliability are tested to their limits.
As is the case across Renault's entire product range, the New Clio GT-Line models come standard with a 5-year/150 000km mechanical warranty, in addition a 3-year/45 000km service plan and a 6-year anti-corrosion warranty.
