Renault makes the Clio hot hatch even hotter with Black Edition treatment

If you’re after a Renault Clio Sport 200 or 220 Trophy and don’t think it’s quite ‘hot’ enough, then Renault has a solution that might just bring its little pocket rocket to the boil with new a Black Edition trim.

It’s available exclusively with the 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine tuned to either 200hp (197bhp) or 220hp (217bhp) for the Sport 200 and 220 Trophy, respectively, both of which get a six-speed dual clutch automatic gearbox with steering wheel mounted paddles.

Both versions return 47.9mpg on an official combined cycle and emit 133-135g/km of CO2 with the 0-62mph sprint taking just 6.7 and 6.6 seconds for the Sport 200 and 220 Trophy, respectively.
