New Renault Twingo To Be a 5-Door Car

[Dezire]

Renault has decided to launch its small and funky little car Twingo in five-door avatar instead of three in its next iteration. This, as Renault claims, will make the car more practical and hence more attractive for larger audience domain. The car is to be a RWD model with rear-mounted engine for more practicality.

Twingo have always been an affordable and good-looking compact car that is perfect for short city commutes. The short dimensions and ease of maneuverability have made Twingo a successful urban car, especially for female drivers.

The car is likely to follow the same modernistic and anomalous design theme as the outgoing three-door model. Expect a styled-on-budget interiors with funky little touches to address the new model. Renault is also planning to offer extensive personalization options to further enhance the appeal of the car in ever so competitive market. Now, Renault will also have to concentrate on the male buyers, as the three-door option was the only bait earlier.

Twingo will be a cheap car to run with responsive and efficient engines. However, the car is suitable only for urban commutes and taking one on the highway is not the best of the things to do.

Therefore, for city dwellers, new practical approach and Renault’s clever fixed price servicing should make this new Twingo a car worth considering.

Fully Electric Renault Twingo ZE Revealed With 250 Km Range

The Twingo Z.E. is Renault’s seventh fully-electric vehicle after the Twizy quadricycle, the Zoe, the Kangoo Z.E. and Master Z.E. vans, the Samsung SM3 Z.E. and the K-ZE sold in China, which is based on the Kwid retailed in India. The latest addition to the list, the Twingo Z.E. is introduced with the sole purpose of being an affordable EV for city driving.

The ICE Twingo’s 1.0-litre naturally aspirated and 0.9-litre turbocharged petrol engines have now been replaced by an electric motor that generates 81 hp of maximum power and 160 Nm peak torque. That might not sound like a lot, but is enough to take the small hatch from 0 to 50 kmph in just 4 seconds, while the top speed of the car is 135 kmph.

The EV comes equipped with a 22 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which will help it do 180 km based on the WLTP cycle. However, the small EV is intended to be used in the city, and the regular WLTP cycle tests the vehicles based on 57% city, 25% suburban, 18% highway driving.
