With order books opening from this summer and deliveries starting from September, the updated model brings new exterior lighting and alterations to the styling in line with the brand’s newest models.

There is a choice of two different petrol engines (90hp or 120hp) and two diesel units (90hp or 110hp), with either manual or EDC dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Renault says it has improved interior quality, paired with a new selection of upholsteries. Infotainment is upgraded to the latest versions of the Media Nav and R-Link systems, while entry-level models will include the app-based R&GO system as used on the Twingo.

Driving aids include a front parking sensor, in addition to the rear one, and a reversing camera. In addition higher-end versions can be optioned with the Easy Park Assist semi-automated parking solution.

Pricing and range details will be announced closer to the launch date, which follows the Paris Motor Show.
