Renault has released a couple of pictures of the new Clio Estate, the station wagon version of the Clio hatchback, announcing that it will be showing the Clio Estate for the first time at the next Frankfurt auto show.

The Clio Estate is the production version of the Clio Grandtour concept that was shown at the last Geneva auto show. The Clio Estate has 5 doors instead of the three of the Grandtour, a panoramic glass roof that is not integral with the windshield and no LED headlamps.

Compared to the hatchback, the Clio Estate will be 23 cm longer (4,20 meters overall) and it will have a trunk with a capacity of 438 liters (+131) that grows to 1.275 with the rear seats lowered.

The engine range of the Clio Estate should be pretty much the same as that of the hatchback, which has 5 gasoline engines (from 75 to 197 ps) and 3 diesel engines (from 68 to 106 CV).

The main rival of the Clio Estate will be the Peugeot 207 SW. Sales start in the first quarter of 2008.
