Renault has just revealed the new Twingo’s interior, and it’s just as funky-looking as the 5 hatchback’s. There are plenty of retro touches, as well as all the latest tech you’d expect in a modern car.
The Twingo is set to go on sale in 2026, when it’ll have a price tag of under £17,000. Renault has remained tight-lipped about the technical details, however this city car is expected to have around 185 miles of range.
New Renault Twingo interior and infotainment
This is your first look at the new Renault Twingo’s interior, albeit in concept form. Renault has already proved that it can bring its concepts to life though, just look at the new 5.
The dashboard design looks great, with plenty of shiny materials and funky colours helping it stand out against the slightly dour Dacia Spring. The floor is made of coloured cork as well, which both looks cool and is more durable than carpet.
Other neat touches include the seat adjustment knobs which look like skateboard wheels, something which is supposed to represent this car’s urban vibe, and magnetic front seat headrests which allow rear seat passengers to mount their phone to it.
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.
When can I buy the new Renault Twingo?
It’ll be early 2026 before the new Renault Twingo hits the streets, however it’s not yet certain that it’ll be available in the UK.
If it does end up coming to our shores, the new Twingo will cost less than £17,000 when it goes on sale. That makes it just a tad more expensive than a range-topping Spring and a whopping £8,000 cheaper than the Fiat 500 Electric.
New Renault Twingo design
The new Twingo is one in a line of modernised classic models from Renault in the past few months – joining the new 5 and the forthcoming 4 electric cars. As you’d expect, this looks a lot like the characterful Twingo hatchback of the 1990s.
Anyone who remembers the original car will recognise the friendly-looking round lights up front and the bubble-like shape. The new Twingo also has the three vents on the bonnet from the classic hatch, although these are adapted to show your battery percentage.
Down the side you’ll notice that this is a practical five-door – unlike the first two Twingo models which were both three-door only. Renault has done a good job of hiding the rear doors though to give it the illusion of sportiness.
Moving to the rear you’ll notice the LED taillights which mimic the lamps up front. The way the bodywork kinks outwards beneath the back window is also very reminiscent of the second-generation Twingo from the mid 2000s.
New Renault Twingo batteries and range
The new Renault Twingo is being developed by Renault’s Ampere sub-brand – a division which focuses solely on electric cars. There’s no word yet on exactly what batteries or motors will be powering this car, but it’ll be built on the same collection of parts as the Renault 5.
Being a budget-friendly city car, the Twingo doesn’t need to have a massive battery, and Renault has told Carwow that this car’s battery will be smaller than the 40kWh pack you get in the 5 – stopping short of telling us exactly how big it is.
It has been revealed that the Twingo will be able to achieve an impressive efficiency rating of 6.2 miles per kWh, so assuming a battery capacity of around 30kWh the Twingo could have around 185 miles of range.
