  Renault Captur 2020 Road Test 25 Oct 2019 (roadtest)
  The ‘All-New’ Renault Captur for 2020 catches up with newcomers to the small-but-tall crossover class that now includes the similarly new Nissan Juke on the same ‘CMF-B’ platform
• 
  Renault Zoe 2019 Road Test 2 Oct 2019 (roadtest)
  Meet the new 52kWh Renault Zoe II with an increased EV range of up to 247 miles in WLTP tests. It succeeds the previous 41kWh version, offering either 107HP and 225Nm torque or 135HP and 245Nm torque, so is more sprightly than VAG’s new Citigo, Mii and Up, getting to 60mph in 9.5 seconds

  Renault Clio 2019 Road Test 21 Jun 2019 (roadtest)
  The UK gets the ‘all new’ fifth generation Renault Clio V in November. From next year there will be a 1.6 litre petrol Mild Hybrid with two electric motors, a multimode clutch, a 6-speed gearbox and a 1.2kWh lithium ion battery that can run for a lot of the time in the city

  Renault Kadjar 2019 Range Road Test 7 Dec 2018 (roadtest)
  The New Kadjar for 2019 is essentially a revamp of the original 2015 Kadjar with a new 1,332cc 4-cylinder chain cam alloy block petrol engine shared with Mercedes Benz, Nissan, Dacia and other Renault models. In the new Kadjar, outputs are 140HP with 240Nm torque and 160HP with 260Nm torque. A 6

  Renault Koleos 1.6 dCi 130 2017 Road Test 22 Jun 2017 (roadtest)
  The Koleos is Renault ’s largest and most luxurious SUV, which pushes it into a completely new and rather crowded part of the family car market, where comfort, practicality and value are key to success.  To be fair to Renault

  Renault Twingo GT 2017 Road Test 8 Apr 2017 (roadtest)
  The Renault Twingo GT should be the perfect antidote to modern, heavy, stupidly powerful hot hatches like the Ford Focus RS. It’s affordable, cheap to insure, has a modest 110PS power output and yet it’s light and fun, with an enjoyable exhaust note, livened up styling

  Renault Grand Scenic dCi 160 2016 Road Test 13 Sep 2016 (roadtest)
  It's been 20 years since Renault introduced the first Scenic. Back then MPVs were new and (sort of) exciting - if you can imagine such a thing. Just like Britpop. Fast forward to today and the MPV has been replaced by the crossover and SUV when it comes to being flavour of the month

  Renault Clio RenaultSport 220 Trophy 2016 Road Test 20 Jul 2016 (roadtest)
  Like the standard Renault Clio, the Clio RenaultSport has been getting a revamp, and this applies to both the 200PS ‘200’ and the 220PS 220 Trophy version. The price of the 220, still the only small hot hatch with a 6-speed EDC transmission, is £22,030
• 
  Renault Clio TCe 120 2016 Road Test 15 Jul 2016 (roadtest)
  The Renault Clio will be refreshed in September. Still the same classy and very attractive shape that differentiates it from other small hatchbacks. But now with the option of a more powerful 120PS 1.2 TCe engine with 6-speed manual or EDC transmissions and an uprated 110PS 1.5 dCI

  Renault Megane GT 2016 Road Test 10 Dec 2015 (roadtest)
  For its 2016 Megane, Renault couldn’t simply relaunch just another mid-size family 5-door. Without resorting to gimmicks, they had to make it both different and better in at least one respect from every other ‘C’ segment hatchback. So they gave
• 
  Renault Kadjar 2015 Road Test 8 Jun 2015 (roadtest)
  Remember the last couple of occasions Renault dipped its toe in the small SUV waters? Probably not, but give yourself 10 points if you recall the short-lived Koleos. And a bunch more for the plastic-clad, jacked-up Scenic RX4. Other than those, it wasn’t until last year’s

  Renault Twingo 2014 Road Test 28 Aug 2014 (roadtest)
  For our first drive in the new Renault Twingo TCe 90 we had a long wait. We’d been itching to get our hands on one ever since the Twingo stole the 2014 Geneva Motor Show in March. It re-thinks small car design. In particular, where to put the engine. Rear

  Renault Captur 2013 Road Test 24 Apr 2013 (roadtest)
  The Renault Captur is one of half a dozen new small SUVs rushing to fill yet another market niche discovered and brilliantly exploited by Renault’s Alliance partner, Nissan. First

  Renault Zoe 2013 Road Test 22 Mar 2013 (roadtest)
  To my mind, the Renault Zoe at £13,995 is the first electric car to make complete sense. The obvious virtues of an electric car are the environmental ones of no tailpipe emissions and the practical ones of no condensation and no hydrocarbons created on a cold start

  Renault Clio Renaultsport 200 2013 Road Test 20 Mar 2013 (roadtest)
  in the ointment. And it's a big gearbox-shaped fly. The new Clio Renaultsport comes with a new EDC (which stands for efficient dual-clutch) gearbox as standard. It's all inspired by Renault F1 so you get paddleshifts and even a launch control system. But here's the rub - this is the only gearbox choice - there's

  Renault Clio 2013 Road Test 9 Oct 2012 (roadtest)
  Like the Peugeot 208, the new Renault Clio IV for 2013 has moved upmarket. There are no stripped out base versions. Renault seems to have left the task of providing them to Dacia. Instead, we get a very attractive, classy looking and well-equipped supermini that has grown in size
• 
  Renault Twizy 2012 Road Test 2 Apr 2012 (roadtest)
  The Twizy is a car that could only come from Renault. The French brand occasionally goes a bit loopy, giving the world cars that look more like concepts than production ready models. The Avantime and the Vel Satis are prime examples. They may be hit and miss but you could never accuse
• 
  Renault Clio Gordini dCi 106 2011 Road Test 13 Dec 2011 (roadtest)
  The Gordini badge may not be that well known, but it can actually trace its origins back to Formula 1 racing the 1950s. In its most recent incarnation it has graced performance Renault models, most recently the Renaultsport Clio, complete with trademark
• 
  Renault Wind 2010 Road Test 2 Jul 2010 (roadtest)
  Despite the ever presence of the Mazda MX5, Peugeot’s 206 and 207CC and Vauxhall’s Tigra, the demise of the last generation Honda CR-X left a gap in the market for small two-seat roadsters that weren’t necessarily all-out sportscars. So Renault has filled

  Renault Grand Scenic 2009 Road Test 16 Apr 2009 (roadtest)
  Just as Renault was first in Europe with a full size MPV (the innovative Espace), it was also first in Europe with a mid size MPV. Now we are into the third generation of Renault Scenic. So is it just change for the sake of change, or have they managed to make
