Renault Clio Sport Tourer 1.6 VVT Expression auto 5dr Review

For Top-of-the-range petrol-engined Clio estate with an automatic gearbox as standard. For the money you also a CD player, electric front windows and side airbags.

Against Unless you really need an automatic, the higher buying and owning costs of this model are hard to justify. It has by far the worst economy and emissions of any model.

We wouldn't recommend buying an automatic model, but if you have to have one, this is the one to go for.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

The Renault Clio Sport Tourer is an unusual beast. Estate cars are traditionally large vehicles, designed to maximise carrying space, but the Clio’s size means it’s more of a lifestyle choice than a workhorse.

Supermini-based estates rarely sell well in the UK and the Clio’s limited appeal means that resale values will be weaker than on the hatchback. The Sport Tourer might be almost as good to drive as the conventional hatchback model, but there isn’t the same range of engines and trim levels available.

The cheaper models don’t use the classier cabin materials found in Dynamique TomTom models, and the smaller engines will struggle to haul the car around if you do load up the boot.

The Renault’s chief rival is the Peugeot 207 SW, which is a much better seller. Having said that, the Clio is still a good car, and if you can negotiate a sizeable discount, it's definitely worth considering - if you don’t need anything bigger.
