Real-world fuel consumption
544,601 Renault Clio cars and vans registered in Europe between 2021 and 2024 report their fuel use through the on-board meter. Petrol versions average 6.5 l/100 km on the road, against 5.2 l/100 km in the official WLTP test — 25% more.
| Fuel | Vehicles | On the road | WLTP | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | 351,011 | 6.5 | 5.2 | +25% |
| Petrol hybrid | 128,845 | 5.2 | 4.3 | +22% |

What it costs in fuel
On real-world figures the petrol Renault Clio uses 6.5 litres per 100 km, so 15,000 km a year takes about 980 litres: €2,187 at this week's average price in France, its largest market in Europe.

| France | €2,187 | €1,739 | €1,731 |

Safety Gate, the European Union's rapid alert system, names the Clio in at least 12 alerts. European versions can differ from the North American car.
The tightening of the ball joint nuts of the front lower control arm may be insufficient due to a processing defect. The first signs thereof are an abnormal noise (clicking and/or knocking sounds) detected at low mileage. One of the connections between the whe…
An anchor point may be faulty and can cause the left rear seat back restraint system to fail. In case of an accident or hard braking, this increases the risk of injury. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of …
The positive terminal of the battery can come into contact with the heat sink on the alternator. This can lead to an electrical short circuit and to increased risk of fire in the engine compartment.
The stop switch which controls the operation of the automatic gear selection lever may not function properly. As a result, it may not prevent the gearbox from switching from ‘P’ to ‘R’ when the brake pedal is not pressed, increasing the risk of an accident.
Possible internal failure in the steering column motor control.This will result in loss of steering assistance when stationary or while driving, increasing the risk of an accident.
The catalytic converter has not been correctly welded. As a consequence, exhaust gas may leak into the engine compartment.
The dipped headlamp beams may face downwards as a result of the the headlamp beam height correction system not working. This would lead to reduced visibility for the driver at night.
Cracks may form in the front wheel hub. The front wheel hub could consequently break leading to the front wheel become detached.
The central pivot pin of the back structure of the rear bench-seat does not have sufficient mechanical strength. In the event of a violent front impact to the vehicle, heavy items of luggage in the boot could consequently be projected into the cabin causing in…
The front windscreen wiper mechanism could stop working whilst driving.
The front right brake caliper's clip could break as a result of the cylinder rupturing. This could reduce the efficiency of the vehicle’s braking system in the case of emergency braking.
It is possible that two of the four anchoring screws on the front seats of the vehicle may be missing. In the event of impact or hard braking there is a risk of the front-seat anchorages breaking.
