Technical Specifications
Both models are classic hatchbacks with a 5-door configuration and a seating capacity for five people, but their engines and performance tell different stories.
The Vauxhall Astra caters to a wide range of consumer preferences with its diversified engine options, including Petrol MHEV, Petrol, Diesel, Plugin Hybrid, and Electric. Power ranges from 110 to 225 HP, demonstrating a broad power spectrum. The Astra also boasts a flexible choice of transmissions, including Dual-Clutch Automatic and Manual Gearboxes, all operating on a Front-Wheel Drive system. This variety allows it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h between 7.5 to 10.6 seconds, depending on the model.
In contrast, the Renault Clio comes with more limited choices but still manages to offer Full Hybrid, Petrol, and LPG variants. The Clio’s engine power tops at 143 HP, which is less than Astra’s most powerful offering. Its acceleration time ranges from 9.3 to 17.1 seconds, indicating it is designed more for efficiency than high-speed performance.
