最近谍照记者首次拍到了新款第五代雷诺Clio，现行版车型是在2012年上市的。不过遗憾的是，该车进行了重度伪装，特别是车身面板被遮盖得严严实实的。可以看出Clio令人熟悉的整体形状，但前大灯位置略低了一些。至于车身侧面轮廓，后部似乎仍保留了厚重的造型，但配备了新的尾灯组和重新设计的后脸。至于技术升级，新车将提供自动驾驶系统，当然这只是达到Level1水平，至多达到Level2水平。另外还有传言称，雷诺将推出纯电动版本的Clio，该车将提供数字驾驶舱。目前还不清楚新车动力系统细节。现行版搭载了一系列四缸汽油和柴油引擎和一台三缸引擎，这些引擎都很省油。而新车据说将搭载1.6升涡轮引擎，车辆0-96公里/小时加速时间不到7秒。不过，某些新车的动力系统仍将与现行版一样。预计新一代Clio将在9月开幕的巴黎车展亮相。

 

2019 Renault Clio Spied For The Very First Time

The Renault Clio isn’t well known in North America, but the fact that it’s at least a familiar name should indicate just how significant it is in the rest of the world. These spy photos are the first look we’ve had of the new fifth-generation car, and it’s been a long time coming. The current Clio dates back to 2012, so a proper redux of the popular hatchback is certainly timely, if not a touch overdue.

 

Unfortunately the car is still heavily covered up, not only with camouflage wrap but with fake body panels as well. We can see the general Clio shape is still a familiar one, but the headlights appear to sit a bit lower. As with the profile shape, the stubby Clio backside appears more or less the same, but there are certainly new tail lights and a redesigned rear fascia underneath the thick coverings.

 

Of more significance are the rumors we’ve heard about the tech that Renault will install on the new car. The company is expected to offer basic autonomous drive systems, which should certainly mean Level 1 functionality and possibly Level 2 hands-off capability. We’ve also heard a fully electric version of the Clio is coming, and that a digital cockpit could also be in the mix.

 

We haven’t heard anything yet on engine options. The current model has a range of four-cylinder gasoline and diesel mills and a single three-cylinder that are all hyper-efficient. For those seeking some excitement there’s also the 1.6 turbo that hustles the Clio to 60 mph in under seven seconds. It’s likely at least some of those engine options will carry over to the new car.

 

While this is our first look at the new Clio, we won’t have to wait years for the final product. We’re expecting the camo to come off for a debut in September at the Paris Motor Show.
