Eco Factor: Fuel-efficient vehicle promises reduced emissions.
Still awaiting the launch of its first eclectic car, French carmaker Renault has just announced the Clio eco2, a new eco-friendly version of the Clio. The new low emission and consumption vehicle comes with a 1.5-l dCi turbo-diesel engine that produces 86 bhp. It emits a mere 98g/km of CO2, meaning the car has 15% fewer emissions than the current Clio but fits the same price group.
The Clio eco2 has an improved fuel economy of 76.3 mpg, a 12.1 mpg improvement over its predecessor, courtesy low-roll-resistance tires from compatriots Michelin, clever engine management and aerodynamic improvements. It will not only be friendly to the environment, but also to your pockets, as it comes with zero Vehicle Excise Duty. Starting at £12,690 ($18,245), the Clio eco2 will be available in 3-door and 5-door variants when it goes on sale later this year.
