Renault's core small hatch with a long NZ used-market history.
Last reviewed: 23 April 2026
The Clio is Renault's core small hatch in New Zealand and has been sold locally through several generations. The NZ parc mixes NZ-new Clio IV and current Clio V cars through Renault NZ with a smaller trickle of earlier-generation imports. Clio RS and Trophy hot-hatch variants from the third and fourth generations have a loyal enthusiast following and hold value meaningfully better than base Clio stock. The Clio is cross-shopped against Mazda2, Yaris, Swift, and Fiesta by buyers wanting European small-hatch feel at mainstream pricing.

Who this suits
Financing notes
At $16,000 across a 5-year term at 8%, the weekly repayment sits at roughly $73 a week or $317 a month (indicative). Clio residuals sit close to the mainstream average, so a 3 to 4 year term with a reasonable deposit is usually the cleaner structure than a 5 to 7 year stretch.
Model-specific questions
Yes on NZ-new Clio IV and Clio V cars with complete Renault NZ service records. The 0.9 and 1.0 TCe turbo petrol engines are well-understood mechanically and parts supply is straightforward through the Renault dealer network. On older Clio III cars a pre-purchase inspection focused on timing chain and water pump work is worth the modest cost.
Usually yes, by a meaningful margin. Clio RS 200, RS 220 Trophy, and related hot-hatch variants have a loyal enthusiast buyer pool that cross-shops Fiesta ST and Swift Sport rather than a generic small hatch. Expect a 3-year-old RS to retain 10 to 15 percentage points more of its value than an equivalent-age base Clio, which supports a longer loan term comfortably.
Our finance partner compares multiple NZ lenders. Calculator inputs travel through to the application, and the partner returns a formal estimate after the lender's credit assessment.
Disclaimer
A car loan is a commitment that runs for years, and repayments come out of the same pay cheque as everything else. Before committing, it is worth modelling the weekly and monthly cost against the household budget, which is what this site is built to help with. Borrowing at a level that stays comfortable on a bad week, not a good one, is widely regarded as the safer frame.
Carfinance.org.nz earns a commission from a partner brand when a visitor applies through this site and their application is approved. That commission is paid by the partner, not the applicant, and it does not influence the rate the lender offers. We refer every visitor to the same partner because they compare multiple New Zealand lenders on the applicant's behalf, so the recommendation is not driven by a sponsored deal. Every figure shown on this site is a modelled estimate based on the inputs entered; the actual rate, fees, and repayments are set by the lender after assessing the applicant's circumstances and own credit decision. Carfinance.org.nz is a calculator and information tool. We are not a lender, not a broker, and not a registered financial adviser. Any decision about whether a specific loan suits a specific situation is best made after talking with the lender, and for amounts that materially affect the household, with a registered financial adviser.
