The big news about the new model is that it includes £2,000 worth of equipment for just £1,000 more than the standard 197. Befitting of a luxury model the interior is decked out with leather upholstery, climate control, a 60W radio MP3 CD player, and a satin chrome finish to the air vents. Exterior features include brushed aluminum alloy wheels and a satin chrome finish to the door mirrors and to the air extraction grilles in the front wings. Rounding out the other standard equipment is automatic headlamps, automatic wipers, cornering lights, tinted rear windows. With driving pleasure as the number one priority, the powerful new engine accelerates the Clio from 0 to 62mph in only 6.9 seconds - which is faster than its predecessor and any of its class rivals – while pin-sharp handling, direct steering and outstanding brakes make any journey both fun and safe.
