TESTED 29.6.23, BRUSSELS, BELGIUM ON SALE OCTOBER
It would be easy to believe that the small car was in its death throes, its demise brought on by environmental legislation. But if this really is the case, nobody has told Renault. For starters, its retrothemed 4 and 5 EV concepts will soon become a showroom reality. Moreover, an all-new Clio is on the drawing board, its design as good as signed off. And the current car has just received a mid-life refresh.
