2026 Renault Clio Esprit Alpine (Full Hybrid E-Tech 160 HP) Acceleration Test

Описание: 🎥 2026 Renault Clio Esprit Alpine (Full Hybrid E-Tech 160 HP) | 0-100 & Review | Joe Black

The iconic Clio has been refreshed for 2026!
We are testing the top-spec *Esprit Alpine* version featuring the *Full Hybrid E-Tech* powertrain with a combined output of **160 HP**.
While a base Clio starts at *€19,600* (84,900 PLN) in Poland, our sporty hybrid test unit bumps the price up to *€25,100* (108,900 PLN).
Is a sporty-looking hybrid supermini truly economical and fast?

🔥 JOE'S TEST REALITY CHECK:
Renault promises a sprint to 100 km/h in 8.3 seconds.
*My Dragy measurement (0-100 km/h): 8.6 seconds.* ✅
(A very solid result! The car is agile, and the hybrid system reacts quickly to the throttle).

⛽ *SHOCKING CONSUMPTION (Factory vs Reality):*
Renault claims this car sips only *4.0 l/100 km* in the combined WLTP cycle.
During our dynamic test drive:
*Joe Black Test: 8.4 l/100 km!* 😱⛽
(That is more than double the factory claim! When you push those 160 horses hard, they get very thirsty).
