2019-2023 Renault Clio (Mk5)
The Mk5 Clio is one of the best-selling superminis in Europe and a staple of used forecourts in France, Italy, and Spain especially. It moved the Clio noticeably upmarket with a sharp cabin, a big easy-to-use portrait touchscreen on higher trims, and the genuinely clever E-Tech full-hybrid option that sips fuel in town. For most buyers, though, the value play is the 1.0 TCe three-cylinder petrol: cheap to insure, cheap to run, and plentiful. Used prices have eased off into affordable territory, and supply is deep enough that patient buyers can negotiate, particularly in the winter lull on AutoScout24. Watch for kerbed alloys and worn interior trim on city-used examples, and prefer the post-2020 cars for the more reliable infotainment. The E-Tech hybrid commands a premium but rewards short-trip drivers with real fuel savings.
A fair price, not a deal — it's 3.5% above its all-time low, right around its 90-day average, and it dropped 1.7% this month.
