How far can the Renault Clio hybrid travel on electric power?

Can you tell m how many miles the Renault Clio hybrid can travel on electric power before the electric engine kicks in?

Answered by Andrew Brady
Unlike the plug-in hybrid Renault Captur E-Tech, the Clio E-Tech is a conventional ('self-charging') hybrid that uses a small 1.2kWh battery so it won't travel any significant distance under electric power. It'll drive under electric power briefly in stop-start traffic but, as it relies on the engine for power, you won't be able to complete a journey without the engine kicking in.

Bigger boot than rivals. Impressive cabin. Much improved over the old Clio.
