The 2011 Renault Clio belongs to the Clio III generation, built 2005–2011. 2011 was the final year of this generation, so it is the most developed version of the design. The Clio IV replaced it from 2012. Model years from 2009 onward carry the mid-life facelift, so a 2011 car is a post-facelift example. New engines for 2011: 1.5 dCi K9K 8v (90 PS). Body styles: hatchback, estate. The engine range listed for this period includes 1.2 D4F 740 16v, 1.2 TCe 100 D4FT, 1.6 K4M 16v (112 PS), 1.6 K4M 16v (135 PS) and more. Owners often keep a Renault Clio workshop manual to hand for servicing and repairs.
