This is how the fifth generation of Renault\u2019s best seller faces the turning point in its career, reaching the roads towards the end of the year. New Clio is the manifesto of a \u201ctechno\u201d and \u201cgreen\u201d language that does not, however, completely erase themes and inspirations from the previous series: at the front, which is the most deeply redesigned part, the \u201cNouvel\u2019R\u201d logo stands out in satin chrome, with new graphics made up by two side-by-side\/overlapping diamonds. It is set on a support from which two horizontal bars depart to connect to the headlights, but slimmer, over a grille with a digital weave that is increasingly in vogue today, shaded towards the edges thanks to a play on shapes. The lower part instead retains its inspiration from the world of racing.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-2 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background has-mask-background nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1216.8px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-image-element \" style=\"--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-1 hover-type-none\"><a href=\"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ACT07061.jpg\" class=\"fusion-lightbox\" data-rel=\"iLightbox[fc004b0d2561a4e953f]\" data-title=\"ACT07061\" title=\"ACT07061\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1170\" height=\"780\" src=\"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ACT07061.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ACT07061.jpg\" alt class=\"lazyload img-responsive wp-image-58845\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271170%27%20height%3D%27780%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201170%20780%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271170%27%20height%3D%27780%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ACT07061-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ACT07061-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ACT07061-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ACT07061-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ACT07061.jpg 1170w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background has-mask-background nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1216.8px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p>The most characteristic elements are however on the two sides of the front end itself: the large \u201cmouths\u201d of the previous model are replaced by a complex vertical pattern incorporating segmented daytime running lights, a theme also picked up inside the headlights themselves where the \u201cC-Shape\u201d, typical of the last generation of Renault models, disappears.
