最近谍照记者在西班牙拍到了新一代Clio测试照片，同框的还有现行版车型。这辆原型车从头到脚都进行了严密的伪装，虽然如此但仍能看出，该车设计受到梅甘娜掀背车影响。不过，新车整体形状并未改变。新车长度也没有变化，但装配水平更高，因此轴距会略有增加。车辆内装已经是目前同级车型中实用性最高的车型，而新车的乘客腿部和头部空间还将进一步增加。雷诺正酝酿对新车动力系统进行大幅升级，据谍照记者介绍，该车将搭载车厂新的1.3升涡轮增压汽油引擎，功率120千瓦/150马力。预计车辆百公里加速时间不到8秒。而入门级车型则搭载一台1.0升引擎，该引擎将替代现行版搭载的0.9升引擎，功率更高，而油耗更低。而在柴油机方面，将搭载雷诺万年不变的1.5升dCi引擎，但功率更强，同时排放可满足最新标准。搭配的变速器包括五速和六速手动变速器已经双离合器自动变速器。

 

New Renault Clio Spied Testing With The Old Model

Our talented spy photographers have sent us another batch of photos with the new Clio, caught testing somewhere in Spain together with the model that’s still on sale today. The prototype is covered with tons of camouflage, but we can clearly see the car will be heavily influenced by the bigger Megane hatchback in terms of design. However, the shape will remain mostly unchanged.

 

The overall length of the car won’t be changed too, but it will benefit from a better packaging, which will allow the wheelbase to grow slightly. The interior, which is already one of the most practical in the segment, will offer improved legroom and headroom.

 

Renault is reportedly cooking up significant upgrades under the hood, and this trial car, according to our spy photographers, is equipped with the company’s new 1.3-liter turbocharged gas engine, developed in cooperation with Daimler. In its most powerful version, the motor will deliver 150 horsepower (120 kilowatts), which should be enough to accelerate the new Clio from a standstill to 62 miles per hour (0-100 kilometers per hour) in less than eight seconds.

 

A new 1.0-liter unit is expected to replace the current 0.9-liter base option, offering more power and lower fuel consumption. On the diesel front, look for another generation of Renault’s immortal 1.5-liter dCi diesel, massaged to deliver more power and meet the latest emissions standards. Five- and six-speed manual gearboxes will be available, as well as a dual-clutch automatic transmission.
