Renault Twingo Concept.
Last Updated:
Just when you thought there couldn’t be a cooler new Renault than the new Renault 5, a new retro-futuristic Twingo is coming soon.
The Twingo (Original 1990’s model at the bottom), was a huge hit in Europe when it came out back in 1992. The first-generation Twingo was an instant iconic success. While the second one in 2007 just became a boring invisible small hatchback with zero personality.
The new concept above previews the 4th generation coming soon as an EV, just like the new Renault 5 and 4.
We saw a 1st concept in late 2023 called the Twingo Legend Concept car. And now we see an updated version of that concept called the Twingo E-tech prototype. Which is now probably very close to the production model due next year. And for the first time, we get a preview of the interior. Which seems quite fantastic for a small and cheap car.
By the time it comes out next year, the new Twingo EV will start at under $20,000. Which is quite amazing. The small Renault will share its platform with the recently introduced Renault 5 and Renault 4. Both of these also have a design inspired by their classic ancestors.
I smell a big hit in Europe and wherever this will be sold. A car that great looking for under $20,000 can only be a success. Of course, none of these 3 cool retro Renault EVs will ever make it to North America. Which is too bad.
I guess that makes 3 more interesting cars to rent next time we visit Europe…
