The model

Read full review

It might not be the most fun or comfortable small car, but the Clio continues to be a great all-rounder. The frugal E-Tech hybrid version will appeal to company car users, but the TCe 100 petrol is our pick. Stick with the mid-range Iconic trim and you’ll have yourself a very well-priced and practical family car, although interior quality and the infotainment system can’t compete with its german Volkswagen Polo rival.

The trim

See full equipment

Second rung Iconic trim is our favourite; it gives you rear parking sensors, keyless entry and the 7.0in touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The engine

See full engine specs

This hybrid model combines a 1.6-litre four cylinder petrol engine with a pair of electric motors and a relatively small battery. It can’t quite match the diesel for fuel efficiency, yet it emits less CO2 and is in a far lower BIK company car tax bracket. It’s smooth in operation with decent performance after a bit of hesitation.
