RENAULT CLIO GRAND TOUR CONCEPT: AN ALLURING, PRACTICAL AND DYNAMIC ESTATE

Blending Clio III's remarkable roadholding and sheer driving pleasure, Clio Grand Tour Concept is a car for free spirits. Its dynamic attributes allow the naturally aspirated 2.0 16-valve engine to show its full potential. It's a flexible and powerful unit, offering 215Nm of torque at 5,500rpm and peak power of 200hp at 7,250rpm, for refined and responsive everyday driving. Mated to a six-speed manual gearbox, it accelerates from 0-62 mph in just 7.2 seconds.

Únderneath, Clio Grand Tour Concept is still a Clio – and that means it's supremely comfortable and easy to live with. The practical interior is perfect for relaxing journeys. The wide, panoramic glass roof creates a bright, airy ambience that highlights the generous cabin dimensions and large boot. The elegant dashboard incorporates a navigation screen and analogue/digital speedometer. A great deal of attention was paid to interior lighting. Yellow in tone – Renault's corporate colour – it gives the cabin a certain vibrancy, which echoes the car's entertaining character. The centre console, boot floor and door trims also disseminate streaks of yellow light.

Photography and multimedia

Step inside Clio Grand Tour Concept and you'll enter a world of photography and multimedia. The car is packed wîth cutting-edge technology from Samsung Electronics Co and nothing has been overlooked. Rear passengers can watch their favourite DVDs on screens incorporated within the front-seat headrests. During a fun weekend away, passengers can capture memorable moments on a 10 million pixel digital camera, or they can film their friends on a high-definition MP4 digital camcorder wîth 2Gb flash memory. A seat and a storage box wîth retractable drawers are located in the space beneath the boot floor. When the hatchback is wide open, a photographer can sit comfortably and transfer pictures or videos to a laptop computer which folds away into the wheel housing thanks to an articulated arm. With its impressive range of electronic equipment, Clio Grand Tour Concept isn't just the ideal mode of transport for a fun weekend away – it's the perfect means to make sure you won't forget it.
