Renault Clio 1990
Production year: 1990
No. of produced cars: Information not available at the moment.
The Clio was introduced at the Paris Motor Show in June 1990 and sales in France and the rest of the continent began then, although sales in Britain did not begin until March 1991. The Clio largely replaced the Renault 5 Mk2, although this car remained in production until 1996 at a factory in Slovenia, where some versions of the Clio were later built. The Clio’s suspension and floorpan were largely the same as the 5, which in turn was the same as the all-new R9 saloon of 1981 and R11 hatchback of 1983 – not that of the original 1972 Renault 5, despite the later 5 visually resembling the original model.
