Our spy photographers track down a 2014 Renault Clio crossover for the first time. The car, built on the basis of the hatchback of the same name and codenamed J87, received a modified radiator grille and an increased body.
The prototype is heavily disguised, but our spies say the production version will receive moldings and plastic wheel arches..
The interior is likely to be completely identical to the hatchback. This means the R-Link infotainment system awaits us, featuring a 7-inch touchscreen display, TomTom navigation, internet connectivity and access to the Renault app store..
The engine lineup is likely to include:
900 cc see turbocharged three-cylinder TCe 90 unit with 90 hp. and a torque of 135 Nm.
1.5-liter four-cylinder DCI 90 engine with 90 hp. and 220 Nm of torque.
1.2-liter four-cylinder TCe 120 with 120 hp and 190 Nm of torque.
Interestingly, the novelty will not receive an all-wheel drive system. We cannot predict how buyers will react to this..
Crossover Clio will be presented in mid-2013 at the Geneva Motor Show.
