First Drives Confirm Specs for Renault’s Reborn Electric Twingo

A small LFP battery with a single‑spec build aims to keep prices near £20,000.

Overview

  • Early reviews of the fourth‑generation Twingo confirm a 27.5 kWh LFP battery, an official 163‑mile WLTP range, and 11 kW AC and 50 kW DC charging.
  • A front‑mounted 80 bhp motor and a reported 1,225 kg weight shape the car for city use with quick responses, selectable regen, and a one‑pedal mode.
  • The five‑door cabin seats four and adds sliding rear seats that travel 170 mm, expanding cargo space from about 360 litres to roughly 1,010 litres.
  • Renault limits complexity to one body, battery, motor, and wheel size, after a sub‑two‑year program that paired European teams with its Shanghai ACDC hub.
  • Pre‑orders are open with sales planned in continental Europe in 2026 and UK availability signposted for early 2027, though The Times reports a December right‑hand‑drive arrival.
