Clio three-box has always stood out as a model that offers a standard of travelling comfort amongst the very best in its class for its price, and New Clio three-box prolongs that tradition with the availability of a trip computer, regulated climate control and rear electric windows according to version and market.

Meanwhile, from the entry level up, a central display is incorporated into the upper part of the centre console to form an integral part of the dashboard design. According to equipment level, it gives the time, outside temperature and frequency or name of the selected radio station. More readily associated with the next segment up, this equipment further enhances the comfort and status of New Clio three-box.

Last but not least, New Clio three-box maintains its predecessor's class-topping boot capacity of 510 litres, while its fold-down rear benchseat facilitates the transport of bulky loads.

From the entry level up, New Clio three-box is delivered as standard with ABS, driver and front passenger airbags and front seatbelts equipped with pretensioners and built-in load limiters (set at 400daN), while rear passengers benefit from three heightadjustable headrests.
