Renault expands Clio and Captur bi-fuel offerings

Overview

Renault continues to expand its Eco-G bi-fuel (petrol-LPG) offerings for the Clio and Captur models. The manufacturer highlights its position as the only automaker providing factory-installed dual-fuel systems, utilizing over 15 years of experience. These systems are integrated during production and carry the same factory warranty as standard engines.

The technology is designed to reduce fuel costs by up to 60% and lower CO2 emissions by approximately 10%. To maintain petrol capacity and luggage space, the LPG tank is typically installed in place of the spare tire, though some reports note a reduction in trunk volume due to the tank's location under the floor.

Specific technical details for the Clio 6 LPG version include a 1.2-liter three-cylinder turbo engine producing 120 hp and 200 Nm of torque, paired with an EDC dual-clutch automatic transmission. While the vehicle can reach a maximum range of 1,450 km under optimal conditions, Renault guarantees a mixed driving range of at least 1,200 km. The Captur Eco-G turbo 120 offers a similar total range of up to 1,400 km. While the driving experience is described as smooth, some observations have noted vibrations at idle and an intrusive stop-start system.

Renault has further expanded the Clio lineup with the 1.2 Eco-G 120 hp Techno version, utilizing a 6-speed EDC dual-clutch automatic transmission. This expansion positions Renault and Dacia as unique players in the European market as alternative fuel sales rise.
