There are several posts on various French car forums of owners complaining of the same issue.
The dealer and Renault will tell you that is how it is supposed to be.
I don't have one, but that is what I have read on the subject. Sorry it's not the answer you were looking for.

 

We had a member with a new hybrid recently who had trouble starting his car.
Would press the button but no engine sound
Turned out he was expecting the ICE to start every time and not realising that when system was happy with the battery, EV took over. It actually had started and was waiting for him.

As with Andrew, I have not got one but the tale above and many from other forums where EV/hybrids are more common is that the systems are not always doing what you think they should but working to load/power/charge algorithms that make sense to them.

Not saying that yours isn't faulty, just keep an open mind, if you are not happy, run it back to the dealers and discuss

 

My "stop/start" system cuts in less often in this cold weather, especially on short runs - I guess the system is protecting/charging the battery, so maybe your Hybrid is doing the same thing?

 

I agree with everyone here. Also my mpg went down from 60mpg to 43mpg in cold...Hybrids in uk not great for colder weather.Mine feels like the ICE revs in 2nd for ages before it actually decides to say o like there is a 3rd gear too lol. TBH its the noisiest ICE 1.6litre i have ever had.

 

It's because you have the heater on and engine runs to get the temp you are asking for , if you turn the heater down to lovw and fan off it will run in electric mode until battery needs charging

 

I just bought a Clio Hybrid as well. I was initially driving in My Sense mode and getting low mpg like mid 30s. I changed to Eco mode with auto climate control set at 18 C and getting an avg of 60 mpg per the onboard car info.

In the morning since it’s cold nowadays, the ICE does charge the battery for a couple of minutes and switches to EV. I move the car after it has switched to EV.

 

That sounds like you have a good routine because 60mpg sounds very good at this time of year. Some owners have mentioned reduced mpg in the cold winter weather.

Enjoy your new car - I tried to buy an e-tech around the end of Covid and couldn't get one, so picked up a nearly new petrol, which is still a great car. Maybe EV or hybrid next time!!

 

I’ve just bought a Clio Hybrid 2023, 1500 miles on the clock. I broke down on the motorway with the battery light on and a warning saying electrical fault, stop. Hazard lights didn’t work, wouldn’t drive over 20mph then just went dead and the sos went off without me touching it. Renault are saying there’s nothing wrong with the car. Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen.

 

I've just read your post and my son's 2023 Etech Clio has suffered a similar problem twice now. Was the problem eventually resolved and do you know what the cause of the breakdown was? Thanks.

 

Hi can you please tell me if your wing mirrors “park “ when you switch off the engine?

 

Renault clio 2024 techno hybrid. Can't get mudflaps. From renault

 

After Covid Lockdown there was a shortage of microchips, and one of the things Renault did to keep building cars was to omit auto-folding mirrors, maybe your car is one produced during that time?

I believe they initially said they'd retrofit them, but then never did. I couldn't even get a new car at the time....
