NEW RENAULT TWINGO: THE RETURN OF SMALL CHEAP CARS!

EV Channels Review

The new Renault Twingo marks a significant return for affordable, small electric cars, aiming to bring EVs to the masses with a sub-£20,000 price point. The reviewer is highly impressed by Renault's ability to achieve this price, citing the use of LFP batteries and a streamlined "Leap 100" development project. Key highlights include its compact size (3.79m), surprisingly spacious interior for its class, and a cheerful, retro-inspired design that winks upon unlocking. The vehicle boasts impressive efficiency, estimated at 6 miles/kWh, and a practical boot with sliding and folding seats, offering up to 360L or 1000L when folded. The interior is praised for its playful details and physical climate controls, though visibility is noted as a minor drawback. While the base model has steel wheels and limited one-pedal driving, the overall impression is overwhelmingly positive, positioning the Twingo as a strong contender in the reviving A-segment and a direct response to the growing influence of Chinese EV manufacturers.
