The renewed RENAULT Clio will also be available as Esprit ALPINE

Renault revealed just over four years ago fifth generation Clio, and now he has given it a refresh to keep the compact Frenchman fresh enough and competitive with segment rivals like the trio VW Polo, Skoda Fabia in Seat Ibiza. It's quite an extensive overhaul, considering that Renault's compact hatchback now has a completely redesigned front end with thinner headlights and a wider radiator grille.

The daytime running lights continue into the bumper, where they are shaped like an angle half of an upright rhombus in style Renault logo. It is interesting that Renault is trying to make transparent rear lights fashionable again. Interestingly, customers will be able to choose between six rear bumper designs, depending on the level of equipment and whether it is a hybrid or not. We see the model in the pictures Clio Esprit Alpine, which replaced the RS line.
