A number of changes to standard specification on Clio and Captur
range including the introduction of DAB radio

Clio trim level renamed to align with Twingo range
Clio priced from £11,145
Captur priced from £14,295
Renault has announced free of charge specification upgrades to its Clio and
Captur models.
DAB radio is now standard equipment on Clio and Captur models fitted with
either the MediaNav or R-Link infotainment systems meaning that all, apart
from entry level versions, now come with DAB as standard. The introduction
of the DAB radio means passengers now have access to even more radio
stations whilst on the move. Both MediaNav and R-Link have also been
upgraded, with the newly-redesigned MediaNav gaining Bluetooth™
streaming, TMC traffic information and SIRI “Eyes-Free” for compatible
iPhones. The updated R-Link system has a new, clearer and more sensitive
screen, allowing multi-touch gestures such as ‘pinch to zoom’.
The Clio Expression+ trim level has been renamed as Clio ‘Play’ to bring the
B-segment supermini into line with its smaller city car sibling, Twingo.
Meanwhile, the Dynamique S Nav gets a new-look leather steering wheel and
grey upholstery.
The Clio is available in five trim levels and with a range of two petrol and one
diesel efficient engines and is priced from £11,145. Despite the specification
upgrades, the Clio is still available with numerous personalisation options
such as the GT Line look pack, coloured 16” and 17” alloy wheels, exterior
and interior coloured touch packs. Accessory packs such as the carbon-look
2. Styling Pack, a sporty Spoiler Pack, a Protection Pack to include parking
sensors and a Touring Pack with quick-release tow bar are all also still
available.
The Captur is available in four trim levels and with a range of two petrol and
two diesel engines and is priced from £14,295. Captur is the best-selling
compact crossover in Europe year-to-date in 2015 and, as of the end of
August this year, had sold over 416,000 vehicles globally since launch in
2013.
