Renault plans to revive the legendary Twingo as an electric vehicle Renault Twingo EV (photo)
Do you remember such a baby as the Renault Twingo? It was a compact A-class car that appeared at the very beginning of the 1990s. Now it is planned to be revived, but in the form of an electric car: conditionally, it will be the Renault Twingo EV.
The exact parameters are unknown, as the Renault Twingo electric car is currently presented only as a concept. However, the design is already known – and the new Renault Twingo EV will follow the style of the original Renault Twingo: a single-volume body, a short sloping hood with triple protrusions, rounded headlights and lights. But all this is done with 30 years of technology development in mind – for example, the headlights will be LED, and the protrusions on the hood (the original Renault Twingo had an air intake there) hide battery charge indicators.
Another difference between the Renault Twingo EV and the original model is the use of a 5-door body instead of a 3-door body. Take a closer look at the rear and you’ll notice a door slot with handles carefully hidden.
The new Renault Twingo electric vehicle is expected to be built on the CMF-BEV platform, which will be shared by Renault 5 and several other compact electric models. The cost of the new Renault Twingo EV should be around 20 thousand euros, and the energy consumption is stated at 10 kWh per 100 km, which will allow for a fairly large range even with a relatively small (and inexpensive) battery.
However, we will have to wait for the production Renault Twingo EV: it will be presented closer to 2026 – then we will learn more details and characteristics of the new electric vehicle.
