New Renault Clio Three-box Is Set To Continue On Its Momentum

More Refined Lines and Higher Quality Interior

PARIS - September 4, 2006: With production totalling more than 500,000 cars since the model's launch in 1999, Clio threebox – which is sold in 64 countries and known as Thalia, Symbol or Clio Classic depending on the market – has proven to be a genuine success story.

To continue on this momentum, Renault will launch a new evolution of the model in September 2006.

In addition to its status-enhancing modern exterior styling and new, more refined interior which places the accent on improved perceived quality, New Clio three-box boasts a level of comfort and safety equipment more readily associated with that of the next segment up. Meanwhile, all these modifications combine with an extensive range of powerplants and a revised choice of equipment levels tailored to match the needs of its owners as closely as possible.

Thanks to its even more attractive line-up, its affordable price tag and its unique quality of travelling comfort and finish, New Clio three-box has plenty of arguments in favour of its continued success, not only in Europe but also in growing markets where it faces increasingly fierce competition.

New Clio three-box will be distributed notably in central and eastern Europe and in France's overseas departments, as well as in Greece, Russia, Turkey, the Maghreb countries, the Gulf States and in certain South and Central American countries.
