Which French automaker produces the Renault Clio?

Renault produces the Renault Clio.

The Clio is a supermini, or European B-segment car, introduced by the French automaker Renault in 1990. It replaced the Renault 5 and quickly became one of Europe’s best-known small cars, combining compact exterior dimensions with practical hatchback packaging. Renault also sold the car in Japan under the name Lutecia because the Clio name was already associated with Honda dealerships there.

Renault is the single canonical answer. Dacia is a Renault Group brand, but it is not the maker of the Renault-badged Clio; Citroën and Peugeot are rival French manufacturers. The model has been produced in several body styles, including three-door and five-door hatchbacks, sedans and an estate version in selected generations.

The Clio’s success was reinforced by strong safety, equipment and performance variants. The Clio Williams performance model became especially famous in the 1990s, while later Renault Sport versions developed a major enthusiast following. The Clio is also one of only two cars to win European Car of the Year twice, alongside the Volkswagen Golf, in 1991 and 2006.
