Renault is on fire with retro revival. After reimagining the R5 and R4 as modern EVs, the French brand brings back another icon: the Twingo. But this isn’t just a nostalgic reboot it’s a full reinvention. For 2026, the new Twingo E-Tech Electric arrives as an all-electric urban hatchback, blending charm, clever packaging, and city-friendly efficiency like no other car in its class and yes it’s officially the spiritual successor to the original.

From the moment you see it, the new Twingo feels familiar:

  • Round headlights
  • A single horizontal grille slat
  • Triple hood vents
  • That unmistakable red hazard-light button on top

It’s a love letter to the first-gen model (1992–2012), but evolved for today’s world. Gone are the two-door limitations the new Twingo keeps rear-hinged suicide doors and practical rear access, just like the outgoing model.

Even the pop-out rear windows make a return a quirky nod to the rear-engined third-gen model. It’s not about tech it’s about personality.

Despite being larger than before, it remains delightfully compact:

  • 149.1 inches long
  • 67.7 inches wide
  • 58.7 inches tall
  • Long 98.1-inch wheelbase for interior space and ride comfort

Renault offers 16-inch wheels as standard, though bold buyers can opt for 18-inch alloys because even small cars deserve big character.

Inside, the cabin trades nostalgia for usability but still winks at the past.

The exterior color flows into the interior, echoing the original Twingo’s playful two-tone style. The side trim on front doors? Not an add-on it’s painted bodywork, saving cost and strengthening visual continuity.

Tech gets a proper upgrade:

  • 7-inch digital instrument cluster
  • 10-inch central touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

But Renault hasn’t gone full touch-screen madness. Blessedly:

  • Three physical knobs for climate control
  • Dedicated buttons for defroster and air recirculation
  • Traditional steering wheel and door panel controls (no frustrating capacitive sensors)

The gear selector sits behind the wheel classic, tidy, efficient.

Where the Twingo truly shines is practicality especially in the back.

It features two individually sliding rear seats, a rare feature in any subcompact EV. Need more legroom? Slide them back. Need cargo room? Adjust each independently.

Even better: the front passenger seat folds flat, turning the Twingo into a mini hauler for skis, lumber, or IKEA furniture.

Cargo space?

  • 12.7 cu ft (360L) behind rear seats
  • Expands to 35.3 cu ft (1,000L) when folded

For such a tiny footprint, that’s impressive versatility.

Under the hood: a front-mounted electric motor sending 80 horsepower and 129 lb-ft (175 Nm) of torque to the front wheels.

No, it won’t win stoplight sprints. But it doesn’t need to.

Renault tuned it for real-world city driving:

  • 0–31 mph (50 km/h) in 3.85 seconds zippy in traffic
  • 0–62 mph (100 km/h) in 12.1 seconds
  • Top speed: 81 mph (130 km/h)

More important: it weighs just 2,645 lbs (1,200 kg) incredibly light for an EV, thanks to its compact size and modest battery.

Power comes from a 27.5-kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery durable, safe, and ideal for daily use.

Range?

Up to 163 miles (263 km WLTP) perfect for city dwellers and short commutes.

Charging:

  • 10–80% in ~30 minutes via 50-kW DC fast charging
  • Supports bidirectional charging (V2L) through an 11-kW AC charger + adapter, capable of powering devices up to 3,700 watts

Need to run a coffee maker at a campsite? The Twingo has you covered.

Production begins in Slovenia, with sales launching early 2026.

Priced below €20,000 (~$23,000 USD) before incentives, the Twingo E-Tech will be one of the most affordable EVs in Europe.

Its main rival? The upcoming Volkswagen ID.1 but that won’t arrive until 2027.

Until then, the Twingo battles:

  • Hyundai Inster
  • Fiat 500e
  • BYD Dolphin Surf

And with its mix of charm, sliding seats, bidirectional charging, and retro flair, it may just steal the show.

2026 Dacia Spring Specs, Price, and Release Date: Full Breakdown 2026 Dacia Spring Specs, Price, and Release Date: Full Breakdown After nearly 20 years covering the auto industry, one truth remains constant: buying a new car too early means missing out.

2026 Porsche Macan GTS Electric Specs, Price, and Release Date: Full Breakdown 2026 Porsche Macan GTS Electric Specs, Price, and Release Date: Full Breakdown The future of the Porsche Macan is electric and it’s already winning. In 2025, the all-electric Macan outsold its gasoline sibling, helped in part by the ICE model’s exit from the European Union. But that’s just the beginning. Starting in 2026, Porsche will retire the internal combustion Macan globally, making room for an all-electric lineup at least until a new gas-powered SUV (under a different name) arrives in 2028. To strengthen its EV momentum, Porsche has just launched the Macan GTS Electric the fifth variant in the electric lineup and a compelling middle ground between the 4S and range-topping Turbo. And yes it’s seriously quick. Powered by the same rear electric motor as the Macan Turbo , the GTS delivers: 509 horsepower in standard mode A peak of 563 hp with Launch Control engaged 704 lb-ft of instant torque (a...
