Renault unveiled the fifth-generation Clio a little over four years ago and now it's giving the supermini a mid-cycle update to remain fresh and competitive against segment rivals like the Volkswagen Polo / Skoda Fabia / SEAT Ibiza trio. It's a significant facelift considering the subcompact hatchback has a completely redesigned front featuring slimmer headlights and a wider grille with a checkerboard pattern.
The daytime running lights continue in the bumper where they're shaped like half of an upright rhombus as a nod to the Renault logo, which comes finished in brushed chrome. Interestingly, the French marque is trying to make clear taillights fashionable again. In addition, the diffuser can have one of the six available designs depending on trim level and whether it's a hybrid or not. Seen here is the Esprit Alpine, a flagship trim replacing RS Line.
