Renault's new Twingo EV arrives in 2026, will sit underneath the forthcoming Renault 5 & Renault 4.

Breaking: Renault Twingo to return in 2026 as sub-£17,000 EV

Electric Twingo replacement will be designed and manufactured in Europe and serve as brand's entry-level EV

Renault will revive the Twingo as a new sub-£17,000 EV that it claims will offer “best-in-class” efficiency and serve as a key part of an expanded European line-up of seven EVs.

The new city car, which will sit underneath the forthcoming Renault 5 and Renault 4, was revealed as part of a Capital Markets Day event for Renault Group’s new Ampere EV spin-off firm.

Renault Group boss Luca de Meo described the new Twingo as a "silver bullet for sustainability mobility" and a key in the firm's quest for an affordable EV.

It's due to arrive in 2026 and will be designed and engineered in Europe, with de Meo promising that it will match Chinese rivals in terms of price. He added that the brand could use an outside partner to develop it.

Woah! A new Renault Twingo is coming, and it'll cost less than £17k

City car is reborn for the electric age, and it'll be cheap. Roll on 2025

A new Renault Twingo is coming! The classic city car has been given a new completely electrified lease of life, and we don’t mind a little retro revival at all.

At an Extremely Important Business Announcement (Renault Group’s 'capital markets day'), boss Luca di Meo called the new electric Twingo "real and clever" and a "silver bullet for sustainable mobility". It'll apparently cover 6.2 miles for every kWh via a "best-in-class for efficiency" battery.

Di Meo explained such efficiency will be achieved in part with better thermal management of the battery, something VW has been using to eke more range out of the ID.4 and ID.5 recently.

What else do we know? Because it's tiny it'll boast a lower consumption of raw materials to make it, and this cost saving means Renault will sell the thing for less than €20,000 (£17k), enough to keep the influx of incoming Chinese brands on their toes.

 
Renault Twingo reborn as cute concept that will spawn an affordable EV

Renault has a burning ambition to produce electric cars that cost the same as equivalently sized petrol models.

Through its subsidiary Ampere, which is now listed as a separate EV and software company, the French brand has a clear roadmap to achieving this with two cost effective platforms spawning new products that are both nostalgic and forward looking.

We’ve already seen the Renault 5 and Renault 4 concept cars, which will soon spawn production versions, and now the company has pulled the covers off its reincarnated Twingo design study.

Like its aforementioned siblings, it remains a concept car for now, but the company is planning to put something similar into showrooms by 2026, with a price tag of less than 20,000 euro (R395,000), in its home market of Europe.

The reborn Renault 5, set to be revealed in production form in early 2024, is set to have a starting price of around 25,000 euro (R493,000).

 
New Renault Twingo EV concept is official with incredible efficiency

Just as anticipated in a report from a few hours ago, today Renault has unveiled its new affordable electric city car, and, unsurprisingly, it's called Twingo. This isn't going to be the first electric Twingo - there was another one launched in 2020.

The new Twingo EV is promised to cost "under €20,000" and come with incredible efficiency - a consumption of only 10 kWh per 100km has been mentioned.

And that's just about the only detail that we know about the next Twingo EV - aside from the pictures showing the concept, which you can see above and below. The Twingo EV will be the smallest EV in Renault's stable, slotted under the upcoming Renault 5 and Renault 4, but using the same AmpR Small modular architecture.

Twing-oh Yes! Renault Announces Retro Rebooted Electric Twingo

The Euro-cute concept is slated to cost under €20,000

Humanity is predisposed to find three things categorically adorable, babies, baby animals, and the first-generation Renault Twingo. With recent headlines breaking news that expensive EVs are experiencing slowing sales and poor resale values, what better time for Renault to unveil its new electric Twingo. With retro-cute looks true to the original Twingo that took the world by storm in the late 20th Century, this Twingo promises to be the affordable city car Europeans especially crave, Road and Track reports:

Renault has always been focused on the cheap side of the European market, with cars like the original Renault 5 and the original Twingo, to say nothing of more modern cheap vehicles like those from Dacia, a Renault sub-brand. And Renault has long been big on cheap EVs. Renault makes the Zoe and also the Twizy, which is so small and basic that it’s not legally a full car.

With the debut of this new Twingo concept, Renault hopes to capitalize on the success of affordable Chinese EVs that currently make up 8.4 percent of European EV sales according to Associated Press reporting, as well as its own preexisting affordable EV the Renault Zoe.
