2005 Renault Clio III 3door

2005 Renault Clio III 3door An all-new third technology Clio was unveiled in 2005. It uses a platform co-developed with Nissan (which Renault has a share in) that is shared with the Renault Modus and the present day Nissan Micra. It is drastically larger and one hundred thirty kg heavier in addition to extra high priced than the Clio II, the end result of a decision to transport the Clio barely upmarket. The outgoing Clio II will continue to be bought as a budget option until the release of the new Renault Twingo (expected 2007). The new Clio completed a five-star EuroNCAP safety rating, becoming a member of the relaxation of Renault's own family of pinnacle-rated client motors - except for the Kangoo - which all have the maximum protection score. Sales of the three-door model all started throughout Europe in October 2005, with a 5-door model to comply with in early 2006.

In June 2006 the sales of the third generation Clio Renault Sport began in France for the rate of 23000 euros. Clio Renault Sport is prepared with a brand new clearly aspirated sixteen-valve 2 liter engine primarily based on the sooner model used in the 2d technology Clio Renault Sport and a 6-velocity gearbox. The engine develops one hundred forty five kW (197 hp) at 7250 rpm. The pinnacle pace is 215 km/h and 0-one hundred km/h takes 6.Nine seconds.

Renault exhibited a Hi-Flex Clio with a 1.6 L sixteen-valve engine on the 2006 Paris International Agricultural Show. This car, which addresses the Brazilian marketplace, features Renault-evolved flex-gasoline generation, with a relatively flexible engine which could run on fuel containing a mix of fuel and ethanol in any percentage (zero% to 100% of both)
