Renault unveiled the fourth generation of the Clio range at the 2012 Paris Motor Show in both hatchback and station-wagon shapes.
Traditionally, it named the latter "Estate." Yes, it was a practical little car, especially for those looking for an affordable transportation solution but needing a larger trunk. But, to make it more attractive, it added a GT version.
Even in the non-GT shape, the Clio showed a sporty front fascia with swept-back headlights and a narrow grille that sported the chromed Renault logo. Unlike its regular sibling, the GT sported a new bumper with a trapezoidal lower grille flanked by side grilles that hosted the LED daytime running lights. The 17" light-alloy wheels with a special design were standard. In addition, Renault offered the Clio Estate GT in the Malte Blue color to emphasize the car's sporty look even more but left the door mirrors gray. Moreover, the car featured the same spoiler as the Clio RS at the back. Last but not least, a dual exhaust was placed under the rear bumper.
Transformations followed in the cabin, too, with GT lettering on the front seats' headrests. To diminish the reflections on the dashboard, the upper side sported a speckled gray finish, complementing the gray trim highlights. The driver could enjoy the standard R-Link infotainment unit with a touch-screen placed atop the center stack. Last but not least, the aluminum pedals were included in the GT package.
But Renault didn't limit its special version to the aesthetic changes and added a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine under the car's hood. It was mated to a seven-speed automatic (dual-clutch) gearbox dubbed EDC.
