Grand Tour was once the name for a big trip to the sites of classical antiquity, which was common among the educated classes. As Goethe traveled to Italy, so go for the 50-year German families to the south, when the attractions even more sun and sand hot as statues and sonnets. Grand Tour is also the name for the Renault station wagon. The latest addition to the series is launched in April 2013 Clio Grand Tour. We have tested it.
Bold, but rough
The Mileage dCi 90 has a 1.5-liter turbo diesel with 90 hp. The two-valve diesel delivers 220 Newton meters and its maximum torque enough momentum for everyday life. Despite complex piezo-injection engine running slightly rough when accelerating you can feel the vibrations of the motor on the steering wheel. In the category of NVH (noise, vibration, harshness, ie noise, vibration and roughness) deserves our diesel, at best, average note. Also that the diesel needs a little preheating even in summer, detuned slightly. Similar to the cold start to restarting the engine is due to the standard start-stop system is not always easy: Who can come to fix the clutch, is sometimes faster than the automatic and the unit via the engine start button must start.
Green button for green conscience
Fuel consumption is only 3.5 Renault liters per 100 kilometers - also compared to the competition, a very good value. We needed our test drives as usual anymore, but our 5.5 liter are still economical. For the low consumption in addition to the start-stop system and the automatically closing grille opening, a regulated oil pump, a brake energy recovery, a special coating on piston skirts and cam as well as a map-controlled swirl control are responsible. A special feature is the optional Eco mode. This is engine power and torque are throttled and the air conditioner is energy efficient. Thus, the consumption is to be reduced by up to ten percent. In practice, one does not feel the reduced force. Whether improved with the pressure on the Eco button the green conscience, is probably individual.
