Renault has revealed the facelifted fourth generation 2016 Renault Clio with prices starting at €13,700 (INR 10,33,580.08). Order books of the new Clio open this Summer (June-August) and its deliveries will commence in September. Here's how the 2016 Renault Clio is different from the 2012 Renault Clio.
