New Clio - when can you put yer name down

[BlackClio16v]

just wondered when we will be able to put our names down for the new clio??? if i sell mine i think a new clio will be on the cards when they arrive on our shores.......

 

[dk]

which one do you mean, the normal clio or the renaultsport one?

the normal one is due in a few months but the RS one is going to be over a year away.

 

[telford_mike]

you can order the new one now as far as I know 1.2 petrol or 1.5 diesel - RS version will be a year away yet as Dave says.

1.5 dci 68, 85, 102 (I think) or 105 with the 6 speed box.
1.2 16V 75hp (Dont think we get the 80hp version)
1.4 16V 100hp
1.6 16V 110hp

We have to wait till next summer for the 19hp 6 speed RS model.
Orders wont be taken for a few months Id guess at least September.

lets hope theres a tuned up diesel variant of the RS as well. if it has 160 on tap it could be quite a motorway beastie

Nope its not happening.
I could so easily have been done a 140hp 1.9 already exists. I think there might be a sporty diesel 1.9 140hp model though just not Renault sport tunned.
I wish RS were doing a diesel Id have my name down now.

they should as this is a developing market.

I hope the 140hp is better than the 120hp i had when on hols and it really seemed lethargic, ok at cruising speeds but that was it.



I can only suppose that they get better with more miles but put me off diesels a little - spose im just used to the more free revving nature of the 172s i have

They do free up mines on 46k an its much better.
Its the ecu programming which limits there free reing nature though as well.
