ROMA (ITALPRESS) – Contrary to what you think, the poor supply of segment A does not depend on the absence of demand: European motorists are still interested in accessible and compact vehicles, suitable for urban life and designed to be used as a second car. The real difficulty lies in the offer: the majority of the builders have “designed the sponge” in the face of the difficulty of reconciling competitiveness, respect for the regulations and new expectations of the customers. Strong in its history and expertise in compact cars, Renault decided to see in this segment a great opportunity of growth and to collect the challenge. The new generation of Twingo imposes itself as a real game changer. It embodies the profound transformation in progress both within it – thanks to the rigorous and passionate contribution of the teams, accelerated development and competitive production in Europe – and on the market, redefining the standards of segment A: an electric and modern urban vehicle, rich in value for customers and available at an affordable price. To give life to the spirit of Twingo means to respect the DNA of the first generation, exalting it and making it even more modern. The legendary design, immediately recognizable, is combined with an exemplary habitability and modularity: five doors, two separate rear seats and sliding series in all versions, back seat of front passenger reclining, etc. All in order to obtain an optimized space that can meet all needs and to offer an unprecedented versatility, considering the price of the vehicle. Twingo E-Tech Electric blends silence, zero exhaust emissions and cutting-edge technologies with, in particular, assistance devices worthy of the top segments and the OpenR Link multimedia system with Google integrated, an absolute novelty for the segment. Its goal is to facilitate the use and adoption of electric mobility. The LFP battery (Litio-Ferro-Fosfato), perfectly dimensioned (up to 263 km of WLTP autonomy), is combined with a 60 kW bricious and light engine, perfect for urban and periurban life, where the One Pedal function allows you to deal with daily traffic without difficulty. Finally, competitiveness and price remain a priority: Twingo E-Tech Electric will be available at a launch price of 20,000 (excluding state incentives) and will be very convenient even in the most equipped versions. In Italy, it will be proposed from 9.900 euros thanks to the advantages dedicated to RPASS customers and in case of state incentives. More practical and easier than ever to use, Twingo E-Tech Electric establishes a new standard for segment A, remaining faithful to the pioneering spirit of Renault and the original Twingo. It responds to the expectations of today’s European customers and brings a breath of optimism to the city. Produced in the Slovenian Novo Mesto plant, Twingo E-Tech Electric will be ordered in 2025.
