Petrol TCe or bi-fuel Eco-G LPG options with 50-litre tank

Fuel choices centre on efficient 1.0 TCe petrol or Eco-G bi-fuel LPG versions that run on either fuel. Official combined figures sit near 5.7 l/100 km on petrol under WLTP, with a 50-litre tank for solid range.
Servicing follows a yearly schedule or every 18,000-20,000 km, whichever comes first. Basic A services and fuller B services alternate, with optional prepaid plans available through dealers to spread costs.
Safety equipment is comprehensive for the class: automatic emergency braking that spots vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists, electronic stability control with hill start, six airbags, lane-keeping assist, speed-limit recognition and a driver drowsiness alert. The My Safety button lets you manage the aids. The car earned two Euro NCAP stars in 2021, with solid adult and child scores but lower marks for assist systems and vulnerable road users.
Day-to-day ownership stays straightforward thanks to shared Renault-group parts, a three-year or 60,000-mile warranty that can extend further, and simple maintenance needs. Modular roof bars and YouClip points add practical storage options for longer ownership.
