Next month Renault will unveil its highly anticipated next generation Megane continuing the evolvement of the company's design DNA from the Laguna which was launched just last year. This evolvement will now spread to the Renault Clio for its mid-life facelift which is set to hit the market next year.

Our spies have caught a prototype of the facelifted model for the first time and as we can see the Renault designers have slapped large covers on both the front and rear covering some heavy modifications. One last shot of the model whilst the door was open also reveals the interior will receive a number of enhancements including chrome accents.

Renault's home show in Paris next month has come along too soon for the Clio to be ready in time and they are unlikely to want to draw much attention away from its top selling Megane model. The Geneva show next March seems are highly likely location for its world debut.

ive never liked this clio as compared to the previous version before it. the front end was just not cohesive enough. the prifile was bland and the tail not as hip as the old version. i hope they sort it out. the head and tail lights just werent stylish ebough to lift the blandish body.... im sure they will make it stand out more knowing renault.

no this really needed a facelift becuase it is pretty ugly at the moment, but this is renault so they will probably put a laguna front end on it... im not sure what is worse

Gah, the Clio is a great car already. PLEASE do not make it too dull. The current clio looks kinda sporty, which is what I like.
