Two years ago, the South African public fell in love with the Renault Clio GT-Line thanks to its sporty good looks, sexy swagger, street-smart attitude and 66kW 0.9-litre turbocharged engine. But now, thanks to the automotive engineering genius behind some of the most iconic modern Renault cars, we’re proud to announce the facelifted GT-Line model that now pushes out an incredible 88kW/205Nm from its 1.2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine that was up until this point only available in the Expression EDC model.
In a Word – IMPRESSIVE!
This beast of an engine is mated to an extremely responsive six-speed manual transmission and according to tests performed by Renault in Europe it provides a 9.0-second 0-100km/h kick in the pants that tops out at about 199km/h. This in our opinion is rather impressive when you take into account the Renault Clio GT-Lines asking price of just under R265,000* at the time of launch.
Amazing Looks Are Now Legendary Looks!
The Renault GT-Line has always looked the part of street racer, but the new facelifted version available in South Africa has taken this amazing look one step further and launched it into the visual stratosphere. Just take a look for yourself to see what we mean:
These new improved looks now include a unique styling kit that includes a unique front bumper, 17-inch titanium alloy finishes, matching exterior mirrors, eye-catching side strips and a sporty rear diffuser. And it is not just the outside that has received an upgrade, as the inside now sports an impressive set of model specific upholstered front seats that include Renault GT-Line embossed headrests, a Renault Sports style leather steering wheel, and an ergonomically designed leather gear knob.
Kitted Out and Ready to Go!
The new look Clio GT-Line now comes standard* with a 17.8cm MediaNav touchscreen infotainment system with satnav, cruise control, automatic lights and wipers, rear park distance control, air conditioning, and front and rear electric windows.
Renault Reliability Guaranteed!
Over the past few years Renault has made a good name for itself when it comes to vehicle reliability, so it comes as no surprise that the GT-Line also now comes with the same three-year/45 000km service plan and five-year/150 000 warranty that is standard across the entire Renault Clio range.
