It boasts a terrific interior, is well-equipped and remains competitively priced. Today, it’s the most enjoyable supermini to drive. Regardless of the version, the Clio stands out in its segment and is our clear choice for the best small car of 2024."

Guillaume Sicard, Managing Director of Renault UK, emphasised the Clio's enduring appeal and continuous innovation:

"Nearly 35 years since its launch, the Clio continues to set the benchmark in the supermini sector. This award not only highlights its status as the best small car but also demonstrates how it has consistently evolved to meet the changing needs of supermini customers, blending fun and practicality with electrification and increasing levels of comfort, convenience, and connectivity."

The Renault Clio, which is available with a variety of powertrains, including a full hybrid option, features bold, fresh styling that captures attention. Additionally, it offers a state-of-the-art digital experience that caters to modern drivers' needs.

This prestigious recognition underscores the Clio's unwavering commitment to delivering excellence in the supermini segment, continuing to evolve, and set new standards for comfort, convenience, and connectivity.

Smith Motors Limited, trading as Smiths Nissan, Smiths Vauxhall and Smiths Motor Group to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.

In the event of disputes we are unable to resolve the Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMI) National Conciliation Service will offer free impartial advice and when appropriate an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) service that we are fully committed to. For further information you can visit their website at www.nationalconciliationservice.co.uk or call 01788 538317.

All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
