Renault announced today that the old generation Clio will be sold alongside the fourth generation, recently launched in Europe. Clio III will continue its career under the name Collection and will be sold in the same Renault dealers around Europe. The car will round off Renaults range in the city car segment, along Twingo, Modus and the New Clio.

Above the Alize will sit the Business trim package, which includes: Carminat TomTom navigation, 80W radio-CD with steering wheel-mounted remote control, Bluetooth connectivity, USB port and jack socket, cruise control with speed limiter, fog lights, electrically-adjustable door mirrors, three rear head rests and height-adjustable driver’s seat.
The customers will be able to specify either the 1.2 16V 75 petrol engine or the dCi 75 diesel powerplant.
