Renault is celebrating 25 years of its favourite supermini by giving the hugely popular Clio a fresh makeover.

Distinctive new features include a redesigned nose along with LED headlamps and for the first time the car will be available with Renault’s latest 1.5-litre 110 dCi diesel engine mated to a six speed manual gearbox.

Another change to the power line-up sees Clios fitted with the Tce 120 petrol engine also available with manual transmissions in addition to the current auto models.

And the list of options has widened too with the likes of automatic parking and a BOSE sound system as well as a number of new paint jobs including red, white and blue finishes and restyled alloy wheels.

The latest Clio will hit the roads in late October and Renault says it will be announcing prices during the summer.
