Facelifted 2024 Renault Clio Gains Big Espace-Style Grille | Carscoops carscoops
introduced the fifth-generation Clio at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show, and the word from France is that a facelifted model will hit our screens later this month, and Europe’s streets soon after.
We’ve already had a sneaky peek at the finished result thanks to spy video that emerged in February showing the updated car beingalongside a camera car in Turkey. But these are the first shots we’ve seen of a prototype being tested by Renault’s R&D team on real roads. The camouflage around the nose hides boomerang-shaped DRLs that we know hang down below the headlights because we saw them on the undisguised car being filmed. But we can clearly see the facelifted car’s very different grille treatment. Can’t remember what the current one looks like? Renault’s tests team provides a real helping hand here by following the new car with a pre-facelift example allowing us to easily make out how much wider the new grille is.
While these images don’t show us what Renault has planned for the interior, we’re confident that there won’t be any major surprises. Minor upgrades to the upholstery design and improvements in standard equipment levels are likely, but the basic dashboard architecture will remain the same. One option Renault might explore though, is to make the 9.3-inch touchscreen and 10.2-inch digital gauge pack standard across the board. Currently they’re only fitted to higher trim levels in some markets.
