The 2012 Renault Clio Sport Tourer is sized to meet the demands of customers looking for a compact vehicle that allies personality, practicality, and lots of luggage space. This “supermini estate” has one of the largest luggage areas in its class at 439dm3 (VDA)1, a gain of more than 50% over Clio III hatchback (151 dm3). The intuitive asymmetrical split-fold rear bench frees up enough space to yield boot capacity of 1,277dm3 (VDA)2 and a loading length of 1,450mm. The floorpan can be removed to create a totally flat, protrusion-free surface with a low loading height, which makes the boot easily accessible. At one metre in width between the rear lamps, the boot can easily accommodate all sorts of luggage and objects.
Like the rest of the Clio III family, 2012 Clio Sport Tourer draws on Renault's expertise in travelling comfort. The Clio III family’s outstanding spaciousness is again a feature of Sport Tourer, particularly at the rear, where it sets a standard in segment B. The warm and welcoming interior, meanwhile, provides great travelling pleasure. The sensation of space and light is further emphasised by a panoramic electric sunroof 1.29m long and 0.86m wide. The sunroof has an antipinch function and is operated by a rotary one-touch control.
2012 Renault Clio Sport Tourer with a length of 4.2m, the same 2,575-mm wheel base as regular Clio, a carefully proportioned 822-mm rear overhang, and a raked rear hatch, this estate car iteration of Clio exudes dynamic performance and driving pleasure. The feisty, powerful, status-enhancing front end is faithful to the Clio III family spirit. The rear lines are integrated into a harmonious, attractive whole. The bumper is designed to ensure perfect ease of access to a boot which is among the most spacious in segment B. The refined styling of the rear screen, the angled hatch complete with spoiler, and the bespoke roof bars firmly single Clio Sport Tourer out as a car built for the pursuit of leisure. The elongated glazed area of the quarterlight and the clean, flowing lines of the roof pillars produce a dynamic profile.
Built on the Renault-Nissan Alliance’s common platform B, the Clio III family are sound road holders and boast acclaimed handling qualities. Clio Sport Tourer comes with a choice of four petrol (75 and 80hp 1.2 16v, 100hp TCE, 110hp 1.6 16v) and three diesel engines (70hp, 85hp and 105hp 1.5 dCi) and offers a peerless trade-off between driving pleasure, performance, and fuel consumption. Loyal to the Clio III family tradition, it stands out for its acoustic performance and standards of comfort worthy of a higher segment. This new Clio model is both economical and ecological, thanks to powertrain packages like the 1.2 16v, 100hp TCE, and 1.5 dCi, which all meet the requirements of the Renault eco2 label. Equipped with Renault’s third-generation System for Restraint and Protection (SRP3), Clio Sport Tourer enjoys the full benefit of Renault’s safety expertise and affords all occupants optimum protection.
Designed and built on Renault-Nissan’s platform B, which also underpins Clio III and Modus, it will be manufactured in Renault’s Oyak plant in Turkey, which also produces Clio III, Mégane saloon and Clio II saloon. Some €40 million were invested in the plant to produce Clio Sport Tourer. It is now one of the most quality- and cost-efficient facilities in the Renault group and has been certified compliant with ISO 14001 since 1999.
