RENAULT CLIO (2001-09) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.5 DCI 65 EXTREME 3
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The RENAULT CLIO (2001-09) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.5 DCI 65 EXTREME 3 is a small, three-door diesel hatchback, aimed at drivers wanting affordable, practical everyday transport. In the UK, the Clio sits in the supermini class, where it competes with cars such as the Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Corsa and Peugeot 206. Its compact size suits town streets and parking, while the hatchback layout adds useful space for shopping or luggage.
The 1.5 dCi engine is known for frugal running, making this Clio a sensible choice for commuters, new drivers and budget-conscious households covering regular miles. It suits one or two people, or small families comfortable with tighter rear-seat access and space in a three-door car for everyday local trips too.
Among rivals, it offers compact dimensions, diesel economy and a useful boot, rather than sporty pace or generous rear accommodation. Mycarcheck.com logged 83 checks covering 59 VINs; examples averaged 117,000 miles, 7,000 annual miles and 4.3 previous keepers. Average private-sale valuation was £200, a guide, not a guaranteed asking price.
