The new or rather 5th-generation Renault Clio is a stylish hatchback that might just tick all the boxes if you are looking for a small city runaround. However, while it comes standard with some very exciting features for the occupants, there are a few optional extras you should consider getting if you want to bolster your ownership experience.

But before we jump into what we think the top 5 extras are for the new Renault Clio, remember you can search for new or used Renault Clio models on AutoTrader, some of which might already have these items fitted.

Extras

1. Underbody courtesy light

The courtesy lights are fitted to either side of the vehicle and by merely walking up to the new Renault Clio or by pressing a button on the key fob, the lights will illuminate and make it easier to spot your car in a dark parking lot or see that puddle next to the door before you step into it.

2. Swan neck tow bar

Having a tow bar fitted to the car means that you could possibly fit a bicycle rack or tow a small trailer when you go on your next adventure and is always a practical addition to a car.

3. Wireless phone charger

Optionally available on some trim levels is an inductive smartphone charger. Thus, in those moments when you might have forgotten your charging cable or one of your passengers needs to top up their smartphone battery while you are driving to your next destination, you merely have to place the phone on the rubber mat and it will automatically start charging. *Note that this item only works on smartphones with inductive charging capabilities.

4. Armrest

Having an armrest fitted to the driverside seat means that you can commute more comfortably, but it also functions as an additional storage compartment for smaller items. 

5. Modular boot protection

Do you regularly load larger items into the boot? Perhaps having this waterproof and non-slip boot protection mat is what you are looking for. In addition to keeping dirty or bulky items in place and your car clean, the flap which folds over the boot sill will protect your vehicle's paint in the loading and unloading stages.
