Renault Captur (2013) CAR review

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 11 June 2013 09:00

The new Renault Captur is based on the Clio supermini platform, but offers an elevated ride height and quasi-SUV looks. It's aiming to take a slice out of the fast-growing compact-crossover car market, but is it talented enough beneath the funky garnish? Read on for the full CAR verdict. What sort of first impression does the Renault Captur make? Were ...

Renault Zoe EV (2013) CAR review

Steve Moody, 28 March 2013 12:00

This is a massive launch: the new Zoe is an electric car Renault really needs to succeed, as it’s the tip of a four billion euro arrow, fired years ago by Carlos Ghosn. Certainly, it’s a cracking looking thing, with its cute, stubby looks and stylish, airy interior that is techy without being weird. But is it four billion well ...

Renaultsport Clio 200 Turbo (2013) CAR review

3.5

Ben Pulman, 19 March 2013 09:00

This is the new Renaultsport Clio 200 Turbo, and for hot hatch fans it’s as controversial as the latest PDK-only Porsche 911 GT3. Out has gone the old RS Clio 200’s rev-hungry naturally aspirated 2.0-litre engine and manual gearbox, and in the pair’s place are a turbocharged 1.6 and dual-clutch transmission. Renaultsport is hoping the combination will appeal to a ...

Renault Clio TCe 90 (2012) CAR review

Steve Moody, 12 October 2012 09:30

Forgive my indulgence, but my first ever car was a first generation Clio RSi, and days hurtling round Wiltshire B roads were great ones: sawing at that canted steering wheel, squealing little tyres, with a broken speedo and only the rev counter and my own idiocy for guidance. It’s seems an age ago, not just for me, but for Renault ...

Used cars: how to buy a second-hand Renault Clio 197/200 (2009-2012)

3.5

Ben Barry, 20 March 2012 09:00

While Peugeot dropped the hot-hatch ball after the 306 GTi-6, Renault never really let it go. Based on the third-generation Clio, the 197 debuted in 2006, and immediately went to the top of the class. Its fizzy, naturally aspirated 2.0-litre engine paired brilliantly with a pointy front end and lively torsion-beam rear for a drive that out-classed the Golf GTI ...

Renault Wind 1.6 Dynamique (2011) long-term test review

3.5

Sarah-Jayne Harrison, 29 July 2011 13:00

Time to say goodbye The Wind blew in on the 28 December 2010 and has just recently blown away again. It was a long visit, which turned out to be a good thing as a convertible arriving in December is not the best time of year to fully test it's main selling point, however the Wind was still with us ...

Renaultsport Megane 265 Trophy (2011) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 11 July 2011 12:00

Renault’s new Megane RS 265 Trophy recently smashed the Nurburgring lap record for front-wheel drive cars. But does that translate into more on-road fun? Read on for our first drive of the new Renaultsport Megane 265 Trophy to find out... I didn’t even know there was a lap record for FWD cars. It’s a bit like hearing that Blackburn reserves beat ...

Renault Megane Renaultsport 250 (2010) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 20 June 2011 09:31

Another chance to drive the Renaultsport Megane - 20 June 2011 Jethro’s Megane 250 was in the office over the weekend before heading back to Renault HQ, so I was quick to snaffle the keys on Friday. It’s one of my favourite hot hatches on sale. Even now it’s accumulated 17,510 miles, his custard-yellow model feels as tight as new ...

Renault Zoe concept EV supermini (2011) CAR review

3.5

Chris Chilton, 21 February 2011 15:51

Renault says the Zoe concept is 90% identical to the production electric car that goes on sale in early 2012. We get behind the wheel to find what it won’t be like at all to drive. What is the Renault Zoe EV? Is it a Clio replacement? No, the Clio will continue, and there’s a new Clio on the way ...

Renault Megane 2.0 GT TCe 180 3dr (2010) CAR review

2.5

Jethro Bovingdon, 26 November 2010 09:24

This is the new Renault Megane GT. Think of it as an RS-lite. The chassis is still developed by Renaultsport but it’s tuned to be more relaxed than the full-on 250 and 250 Cup models. That anonymous Megane GT TCe 180 badge masks the fact that power still comes from a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder, but it’s optimised for torque rather than ...
