Move over, “okay boomer” cars—the 2025 Renault Clio is here to prove hatchbacks can be *cool*. Think: hybrid tech for Insta-worthy eco-cred, a screen bigger than your laptop, and vibes so French even your *ouma* would swipe right. Slated for SA in 2025, this ain’t your dad’s hatchback.

• LED Lightshow: C-shaped headlights for that *Oui, chef* aesthetic.
• 17-inch Alloys: Because steelies are for NPCs.

Renault SA hasn’t spilled the tea, but leaks say:

• 1.0L Turbo Petrol: ~R350k (cheaper than a Kia Picanto GT-Line).
• 1.6L Hybrid: ~R420k (still under a Polo GTi2025 Renault Clio
