RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT GROUPE RENAULT

New CLIO Presented at the Geneva Motor Show, the New Renault Clio is synonymous with versatility, proving its ability to move easily in both urban and open road conditions. It gains in comfort and agility with the introduction of the new modular CMF-B platform developed by the Alliance and its new finely-tuned chassis. The New CLIO is at the heart of the Group’s strategy to reinforce synergies within the Alliance. An interior revolution Driving position quality and ergonomics were priorities for the New Clio’s interior design teams. High end materials, soft touch dashboard and door panel upholstery and central console contours, refined treatment of furniture: the passenger compartment is getting an upgrade in terms of quality. More compact to free up space, the New Clio’s all-new "Smart Cockpit" focuses on the driver and includes more technology. Its wave design accentuates the impression of width. With the largest screens in its category, it serves a resolutely modern ergonomy for a more immersive driving experience. Lastly, the New Clio democratizes unique innovations in the segment such as electric parking brakes, particularly useful in urban areas. A modern, more expressive exterior design Sleeker and more dynamic from all angles, the New CLIO retains the sensuous curves of the previous generation. It gains in expressiveness whilst retaining its sleek profile. At the front, the hood includes ribbed bodywork for a sculpted effect. The grille is enlarged and the front bumper enhanced with a more expressive grille for more efficient engine cooling. In terms of size, the New Clio is 12 mm shorter (length 4,050 mm width 1,798 mm) but gains in passenger space. The body is 8 mm lower (height 1,440 mm) and up to 48 mm at the end of the spoiler to increase aerodynamics and sportiness. The 17-inch wheels (depending on the version) accentuate the vehicle’s dynamic impression. Details such as the shark fin antenna, 100% LED headlamps, flush tailgate and chrome surround for the side windows contribute to the New Clio’s modern exterior style and, as with the interior, to improving quality. A new range of engine technologies including Renault’s first E-TECH hybrid In addition to the gasoline 1.0 SCe engine (3 cylinders; 5-speed manual gearbox; 65 and 75hp) and diesel 1.5 Blue dCi engine (adapted to new pollution standards with the integration of the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system; in two versions: 85hp/220 Nm and 115hp/260), the New Clio benefits from three new engines: TCe 100, the highest level of versatility 1) Unique in the Renault range, the 1.0 TCe (3 turbocharged cylinders) is the latest engine resulting from the Alliance’s synergies. It includes the latest technologies such as a turbocharger with electrically controlled waste valves, an exhaust manifold partially integrated into the cylinder head, dual hydraulic variable valve timing on the intake side and specific steel coating for cylinders

(Bore Spray Coating). With 100hp and 160 Nm torque, this new generation engine gains 10hp and 20 Nm compared to the TCe 90 that it replaces, whilst reducing consumption and CO 2 emissions. With emissions calculated from 100 g/km*, the New Clio TCe 100 is positioned as best in its category for the gasoline version. This engine also provides optimal driving pleasure, thanks to torque gains from low speeds for more responsive driving. The TCe 100 is initially offered on New Clio in combination with a manual 5-speed gearbox. It will also be combined with a latest generation X-TRONIC automatic gearbox. Suited to European uses, it offers maximum flexibility for urban use. It also benefits from the D-STEP function to reproduce the behavior of a multi-transmission gearbox for varied trips and for brisk acceleration. The TCe 110 engine will also be offered in a dual LPG fuel version for maximum savings and reduced polluting emissions. E-TECH, the hybrid according to Renault to 2) combine efficiency and driving pleasure For over 30 years, the Clio has embodied the everyday, modern car that offers the best in automotive technology to the greatest number. The New Clio is no exception to this tradition with the offer from 2020 of a "full hybrid" engine called E-TECH. A first for Groupe Renault, which has built on its know-how as a pioneer and European leader in electric mobility to offer a unique hybrid experience for the New Clio. This E-TECH technology was developed and patented by Renault engineering. It uses components designed within the Alliance, such as its new generation 1.6 liter gasoline engine specifically redesigned for this purpose. It is accompanied by two electric engines, an innovative multi-mode gearbox and a 1.2 kWh battery. TCe 130 FAP, for maximum driving pleasure 3) The 1.3 TCe FAP engine appears on the New Clio after having proven itself on the Captur, Megane, Scenic and Kadjar. Offered in its 130hp 240 Nm version, it is combined with the automatic 7-speed EDC gearbox and replaces the TCe120 to head up the range of engines on the New Clio. This latest generation engine highlights all of the dynamic qualities of the New Clio, for a more exciting driving experience in all situations. The dual clutch EDC gearbox makes driving more flexible and enjoyable, while contributing to reducing consumption and CO 2 emissions. To make driving even more pleasurable, the New Clio TCe 130 EDC FAP will be equipped with paddle shifters. The New Clio offers the most comprehensive driving aids in its category to make driving easier, reinforce safety and make trips more serene. They are available in three families: Driving, Parking (under the Renault EASY DRIVE label) and Safety. Among the developments that enrich the New Clio’s offering are the 360° camera and active Emergency Brake Assist with cyclist and pedestrian detection, which are two firsts in Renault’s range. The culmination is the Traffic and Highway Assistant, a unique service in the versatile city car segment. Renault EASY DRIVE: the most comprehensive driving aids on the market
