The fourth-generation Renault Clio RS combines hot-hatch character with the practicality of a compact five-door body. It gives you everyday access to the rear seats while keeping the focus on an engaging drive.
The 1.6 EDC pairs a gasoline Renault Clio RS engine with a dual-clutch automated transmission and front-wheel drive. Automatic shifting saves you clutch-pedal work in traffic, while the gearbox also lets you select gears yourself. On a test drive, check how smoothly it pulls away and responds at low speeds.

When comparing Renault Clio RS trim levels, the 1.6 EDC powertrain is only part of the picture: the associated equipment specification is named Clio RS.
