For the first time, we are seeing the new Renault Twingo in person
We had to make the car for less than two years. We went into the order mode."
Paula FABREAT, Director of Design Projects A and B, sums up the madness of the Ranault Tringol Twingo in these words.This is the last assignment for Luca de Maso, who left in July when he left the luxury market and the track team.Since its arrival, the name has undergone a major change, focusing on the old models of the Renline company in the well-known electric design.
The underlying idea of this Twingo is similar to launches we've seen before: a city car like the Renault 5 and Renault 4, carefully crafted to stay connected to the past while offering an alternative that wins over the undecided with a design sure to convince.
Building - The basic idea is the same, but the execution is very different.
And despite everything, the results at first glance (before you get in the car) depend on.

The same spirit in modern times
We entered the ship.New Renality twins are waiting for us.With all the nests.do you want.
Their seats were made into beds.
Today, this Renault Twingo has to play something different.It is still the case that you have to be satisfied with a city car, no matter what, but clearly in cities.
Because the renault Twingo is now an electric car with a 27.8 kwh battery.It is a clean law.Europe has decided that we must go to the electric car.Car parts with strong engines, crushing must live together with the leadership of the help, it is very difficult to pay.This is not a good idea and complicated processes make the product more expensive.
Renault decided that if the future was for cars, it had two options.The first was to strike a fair price to make the car as cheap as possible.This has come out of the question of DACIA, which has a spring and the Chinese comes to force.The second way was to turn the nose of those who have money to remember the old times in Renaullult 5, 4 and now twitu.But if they want to stand out, they need to create something that people will want to buy.To make it beautiful, the French company has given these cars love and care.Trying to keep the price down.
This is how the Renault Twingo is born, which, in the absence of exact prices, will have an option costing less than 20,000 euros excluding support.The proposal is simple: combine the spirit of modularity and practicality to have a city car with minivan ambitions.The problem, and not a small one, is that the Twingo is now city-bound with that battery claiming 260 kilometers per WLTP cycle, which will certainly be higher than that in the city, but limits us to routes of 150 to a maximum of 200 kilometers.
To find the key, Renault did not hesitate to go to the place where cheap electric cars and cars created in record time triumph.Renault Twingo is the first major product created in the design and research center that the company opened in Shanghai.Designed in China, Made in Europe.Because the car will be produced on the territory of Slovenia.In particular, in the factory in Nové Město, but around it there is a network of Chinese suppliers that guarantee the costs of containment.In fact, LFP batteries are signed CATL.So they have no tariffs, but they claim to be able to bring Chinese know-how to Europe.
The situation was the same in 1992, when the Twingo was first launched on the streets.As attractive as this car is, it's got all the flesh that it has, and once again it's got a makeover.It developed Renault's platform to appreciate it and install the front axle of Tenelt 5 to make the Sonic a big car with a big, big car body.
The exterior design exercise is exceptional.Perfect, I say.
The game is pretty cool with the illuminated headlights featuring a metal sheet between the LED arch for daytime running lights and the strip with three rectangular spaces for nighttime lighting or turn signals.If we consider more than that, to save cost, they are placed at the back.At the front they frame a kind of smile with a black strip that lightens the weight of the set, and at the back they play visual with an appendage that resembles the ears of the head with Korean or Japanese memories.
"It's design in the service of performance," says Fabregat.The rear, the design team tells us, was difficult to finish.The direct light is not attached to the upper part of the body, which creates volume but makes it more difficult. We have a problem because we have lost a lot of efficiency.Again, the solution is fun and practical but always stands for the idea of finding solutions to real problems.
Inside, the solutions are less flashy but just as imaginative.The original model carried the colors from the outside to the inside.Here they tried to calm the interior but, for example, a piece of the door that retains the color of the exterior is kept.It has been stripped of plastic and left simply visible is a part of the body that was painted from scratch.Not a euro is spent to include the piece and at the same time it refers to the original design and maintains its aesthetics.
The spirit of Modularity is maintained with the attached bag.Located at the front, the Renault Twingo adds up to 360 liters measured at the roof.Most of it is stored in the bottom of the trunk.
When seated, interior space for rear passengers is truly astounding.In fact, this is the first time in a row that the back seats seemed wider to me than to me.Of course, the sacrifice is made at the altar, where the driver feels some degree of stress, and gives the impression that he may be under too much stress.
The rest of the elements followed and made of rigid plastic, but the play of colors and shapes reduces the feeling of "cheapness".If care is taken in the design, this same plastic can be from the clear not enough to pass.Here it falls into the second category.
Most likely, the car will come with a 7-inch dashboard screen and a 10.1-inch center screen.They have open graphics with Open R Link, Renault's system based on Android cars that we have already seen on other occasions, but which is analyzed to give the visual appearance of that model.This company even invented all the letters to create a new sign. As we learn from the metal bars, which are cut from the roof of the car, are included in the coating.
Sometimes everything is a matter of detail and care.
Renault Twingo has everything and more than enough.
