• Small city EV retains concept styling
• Super-cool interior design
• Around 185 miles of range possible
• Deliveries start in 2026
• Sub-£20,000 price tag likely

Renault is doing a great job of rebooting iconic models as modern electric cars. First we had the brilliant Renault 5, then the larger Renault 4, and now there’s this – the new Renault Twingo.

The Twingo name hasn’t been in hibernation that long, it only went off sale in 2024, but this new one takes things right back to the original car from 1992 with cute and funky styling. This car will be revealed in full on November 6, with sales starting next year.

Remember, you can buy a brand new or used car right here on Carwow. And you can sell your car, too. We’re here to help you through every step of your car-changing journey.

New Renault Twingo design – staying true to the concept

I went out to Paris last year to look at the new Renault Twingo concept, and after seeing how the brand brought the Renault 5 concept into production almost totally unchanged, I have no doubts that it’ll do the same with the Twingo.

And now there are some new teaser images which appear to prove me right (insert smug face here). You can see that the happy-looking round headlights look pretty much the same, and it’s even retained the three bonnet vents, another feature which gives a nod to the original Twingo from the ‘90s.

You can also get a small glimpse of the rear, which features similar-looking lights to those up front. The only difference I can see here compared to the concept is the three square LEDs in the centre, which likely house the indicators and reverse lights.

New Renault Twingo interior design

The Renault Twingo’s interior was also revealed last year, albeit in concept form. It may therefore change slightly when the car goes into production.

The green dashboard certainly looks the part, and the floor is made out of coloured cork which both looks cool and is more durable than carpet. Another neat touch is the knob to adjust the seats, which look like skateboard wheels.

In terms of infotainment, the new Twingo concept has a 10.1-inch touchscreen, the same as the Renault 5’s, as well as a 7.0-inch digital driver’s display. All the graphics look bright and cheery, which reflects the Twingo’s cutesy exterior styling.

New Renault Twingo batteries and range

The Twingo will be built using the same collection of parts as the Renault 5, however it will use a smaller battery than that car. Renault stopped short of telling us exactly how big the battery will be, but it did quote an impressive efficiency figure of around 6.2 miles per kWh.

Looking at the Renault 5, that car comes with a 40kWh battery in more basic versions. So, assuming the Twingo has around 30kWh of capacity, it could be able to do around 185 miles on a charge. That would be almost 50 miles more than a BYD Dolphin Surf, and that car has a battery twice the size.

When can you buy the new Renault Twingo?

The new Renault Twingo will be revealed in full on November 6 this year, and order books will open shortly after. First deliveries are likely to be in the second half of 2026.

Renault is aiming for a sub-20,000 euro price tag with this car, which equates to around £17,400. It could end up being a bit more expensive in the UK after import costs, with a figure of around £18,000 likely.
