The Ford Fiesta is shockingly going away this year while Volkswagen has hinted that the Polo's days might be numbered due to upcoming Euro 7 regulations. In contrast, Renault is determined to keep its B-segment hatchback as new spy shots reveal the Clio will get a nip and tuck later in 2023 that should stick around for 3-4 years. In the meantime, our car paparazzi spotted the camouflaged prototype undergoing testing somewhere in France.
The black-and-white swirly pattern does a good job of tricking us into believing the 2024 Clio will be more of the same. However, an undisguised car was spotted a while ago during a photoshoot, revealing significant changes to the LED light signature at the front. Attached below, the spy video presumably shows a range-topping Esprite Alpine trim level with vertical daytime running lights extending down onto the bumper à la Peugeot or DS Automobiles.
