New Deal of the Day: why this small hatchback with a huge boot is worth snapping up, with up to £4,500 off

The Renault Clio has been one of the UK’s favourite small hatchbacks for good reason: it’s practical, economical, and actually fun to drive. Having tested plenty of small cars, I can say the Clio stands out for its smooth ride, easy-to-use tech, and efficient engines.

Right now, Carwow has some of the best Clio deals I’ve seen, letting you get a well-equipped model for less than usual. Whether you want a city-friendly runaround or a comfy daily commuter, it’s a solid choice.

After reviewing dozens of superminis, I’d say few balance style, practicality, and value like the Clio – and this deal makes it even harder to ignore.

Remember, you can buy a brand new or used car right here on Carwow. And you can also sell your car, too. We’re here to help you through every step of your car-changing journey.

Here’s a great deal I’ve spotted on the Clio – over £4,500 off*

The Renault Clio usually starts around £18,995, but you can get it through Carwow from £15,613. The biggest savings are on the Esprit Alpine version, with £4,559 off at the time of writing.

The Renault Clio Esprit Alpine brings sporty style from Renault’s Alpine brand to an everyday supermini, combining looks with practical features I’ve seen make a real difference in daily driving.

It comes loaded with kit, including:

• Heated steering wheel and seats
• Radar cruise control
• Blind spot monitoring
• 9.3-inch infotainment with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto
• Sporty upholstery with contrast blue stitching.

For anyone after a Clio that’s fun to drive, packed with tech, and full of extras, this trim is a knockout. And current Carwow deals make it an even better value, balancing style, practicality, and features like few others in its class.

But why consider the Renault Clio?

If you’re after an affordable city car that doesn’t skimp on style or practicality, the Renault Clio is hard to beat. It looks great inside and out and has a 391-litre boot, bigger than any of its small hatchback rivals, making it both good-looking and genuinely practical.

The Clio has a sharp, modern look, with slim headlights, vertical daytime running lights, and a grille up front. The cabin also feels more premium thanks to a profile-orientated infotainment display and plenty of soft-touch surfaces.

Space is comfortable up front, though rear passengers will find legroom tight, and storage is sensible throughout. Compared with alternatives, the Clio offers style, practicality, and a bigger boot.

Alternatives to the Renault Clio

Still not convinced? Here are some other alternatives worth considering:

• Peugeot 208: This offers a high-quality interior and an electric variant. However, rear legroom is limited, and higher-spec models can be more expensive than the Clio.

• Volkswagen Polo: This option has refined handling and a spacious cabin, giving you a comfortable driving experience. Yet, it often comes with a higher price tag compared to the Clio, impacting its value proposition.

• Vauxhall Corsa: Affordable and practical, the Corsa offers efficient engine options and a comfortable drive. However, its interior feels less premium, and rear passenger space is more cramped than in the Clio.

Why should you listen to me? I’ve spent over 20 years as a motoring journalist, testing all kinds of cars, so I know the difference between a deal that’s actually good and one that just looks good on paper. My experience helps me spot real value, practical perks, and the little extras that make a car genuinely worth it.
