2008 Renault Clio Sport Tourer Pricing Announced

New Clio Sport Tourer has arrived in the UK, offering competitive pricing, impressive standard equipment, innovative features, greater load space and practicality, combined with the all the style and exterior good looks Clio is renowned for. The Sport Tourer version is a compact estate without compromising on interior space.

Ideal for customers who need the space and practicality of an estate car, but still want a car with sporty and modern looks, Clio Sport Tourer has 50% more boot space than the Clio and is priced just £850 more than the Clio five-door.

Equally suitable for active lifestyles and family outings, with great levels of comfort and safety you would expect from a Renault, Clio Sport Tourer is available in Dynamique trim priced from £12,095 for the 1.2 16V 75 to £14,495 for the dCi 106.

Prices/ engine range

Clio Sport Tourer is offered with a choice of three petrol and two diesel engines. Four of the five available are Renault eco2 vehicles, meaning they meet a strict criteria of emissions of less than 140 g/km, are 95% recyclable and are manufactured at plants certified to ISO 14001.

The engine range line-up includes the 1.2 TCe 100 petrol engine which provides the torque of the 1.6 VVT 111 engine, the power of the 1.4 16V and the economy and emissions of the 1.2 16V 75. The dCi 86 engine has CO² emissions of just 117 g/km and a combined mpg of 64.2.

Insurance groups are competitive ranging from 2E to 5E.

Dynamique – high level of equipment

Clio Sport Tourer launches in the ever-popular Dynamique trim, ensuring the interior matches the Clio’s exterior sporty looks.

Core features include equipment you’d expect from a practical estate car such as black roof bars, and the completely flat boot floor and load area that lifts up to reveal a hidden storage area offering maximum versatility.

The Dynamique trim comes well-equipped including the following standard features offered in addition to the core equipment: air conditioning, automatic headlights and windscreen wipers, 15” ‘Mahonia’ alloy wheels, cruise control and speed limiter (on the automatic version), split-folding 60:40 rear seat, six airbags, 4 x 15W RDS radio CD with fingertip remote control and double optic ‘See Me Home’ headlights.

The launch of Clio Sport Tourer also includes a Summer Special edition, the Expression, which will be offered in limited numbers and is competitively priced at £11,215 for the 1.2 16V 75 and £12,365 for the dCi 68. Expression’s interior includes a blue center console and dashboard inserts, and the trim is similarly well-equipped with standard features.

Dimensions

Clio Sport Tourer is one of the most compact estate cars on the market at just 4,202mm long with the same wheelbase as the Clio (2,575mm). Its generous loading space, 60:40 split-folding rear seat and large boot space of 439dm³ which is more than 50% bigger than the Clio, ensure Clio Sport Tourer is every inch an estate car.

The 60:40 split-fold rear seats free up additional loading space of up to 1,277 dm3 (up to ceiling; 239dm³ more than the Clio). With the smaller section folded down, Clio Sport Tourer can accommodate four adults plus luggage offering a load length of up to 1,450mm.

Boot access is exemplary, owing to the shape of the rear bumper and the very low sill height (581mm). Its removable floor ensures its boot is versatile and adaptable. With convenience and practicality firmly in mind, Clio Sport Tourer has a handy compartment for the rear parcel shelf when it is removed, under the removable boot floor. Removing this floor panel can increase the capacity by a further 72dm³.

New Clio Sport Tourer – available to order now

Clio Sport Tourer is available to order now, priced from £12,095 for the Dynamique 1.2 16V 75 to £14, 495 for the Dynamique dCi 106.
