The Clio I is the first generation of the Renault Clio, project code X57, shown at the Paris Motor Show in June 1990 as the replacement for the Renault 5. It was the car that moved Renault from numbered model names to named ones, and it won European Car of the Year for 1991. The chassis was largely carried over from the Renault 5 and 19 family, with torsion-bar rear suspension and MacPherson struts at the front. At launch it offered 1.2 and 1.4 litre Energy petrol engines and 1.7 and 1.9 litre diesels, followed in 1991 by the sporting RSi and the 16-valve Clio 16S. The limited Clio Williams of 1993 became its best known performance version. It was sold in Japan as the Renault Lutecia because Honda held the Clio name there.
