I had a fantastic experience with Select and can't speak highly enough of Adam Brooks. When I first spoke to Adam I had an idea of the car I wanted but my priority was a short lead time. Adam took the time to talk through what factors were important to me in my choice of car and gave me several different options - including some I wouldn't have thought of. He was incredibly responsive and kept me updated throughout the whole process. I've already recommended Adam to a colleague and would have no hesitation in recommending Select and using them again.

Renault Clio Hatchback
Download vehicle brochureThe long-running Renault Clio is one of the UK’s favourite superminis, having been continually reinvented and refreshed since first being launched in the 1990s. The Clio is fun to drive, boasts great exterior styling, has a boot that’s one of the largest in its class, and enjoys a cabin so sophisticated you’d expect to find on a much more expensive vehicle.

With the Ford Fiesta now discontinued, the fight is on to become the top dog in the small hatchback market. So it’s the perfect time for Renault to update its popular little Clio with some fresh styling and some extra tech, consolidating all the more minor updates that have taken place in recent years.
It’s a story of continuous evolution, rather than wholesale changes, but that doesn’t mean nothing has changed.
Over the past year or so, the Clio has been refreshed to include a new-look engine range that combines an updated hybrid powertrain with a small, turbocharged petrol engine, and tweaks that have ensured the Clio remains fun to drive. But now the ante has been well and truly upped with a new nose and a new Esprit Alpine trim level that leverages sister brand Alpine’s F1 know-how. The question is, will that be enough to see it rise to the top?
