Which French car company manufactures the Renault Clio?

Which French car company manufactures the Renault Clio? Renault is the answer.

The Renault Clio is a small French supermini produced by Renault. It was launched in 1990 as the successor to the Renault 5 and quickly became one of Europe’s most recognizable compact cars. The model has generally used front-wheel drive and has been offered in practical hatchback forms, with some generations also available as sedans or estates.

The name “Clio” comes from Clio, the Muse of history in Greek mythology. In Japan, the car was sold as the Renault Lutecia, because the Clio name was already associated with a Honda dealership network. In other markets, the name remained Clio, helping make it a major export model for Renault.

The Clio has won European Car of the Year twice, in 1991 and 2006. That achievement places it alongside the Volkswagen Golf as one of only two cars to win the award twice. Common mix-ups include choosing Peugeot or Citroën because they are also French manufacturers, or Fiat because it competes in the same small-car segment.
