She's back, straight from the '90s. And it's back to stay: Renault's new electric Twingo.
This model, which combines retro charm with the most advanced technology, marks a new chapter in the history of urban mobility. The Twingo, once an icon of accessibility, is renewed with a green soul, promising efficiency and an affordable cost, revolutionizing the concept of city travel.
Electric Twingo: a rebirth, a signal
The rebirth of the electric Twingo clearly shows the evolution of the automotive sector (and its marketing). Renault has decided to transform one of its most beloved models, adapting it to the needs of the twenty-first century. Choosing a '90s-inspired design is not just an homage to the past, but a statement of durability and timeless style.
The "new-old" French trap promises efficiency of up to 6.2 km per kWh, presenting itself as one of the most efficient on the market. A non-negligible figure, considering the growing importance of energy efficiency in the automotive sector.
The price, under €20.000, makes the electric Twingo one of the most accessible options in the growing electric car market. Especially taking into account the generous subsidies available in Europe, it is a particularly attractive choice for those looking for a sustainable and affordable car.
Back to the future, but also a little to the past
Luca de Meo, CEO of Ampere, described the Twingo as “the keicar European”, an intelligent concept for urban mobility. With his statement: “We need to go back to smaller cars”, de Meo underlines the importance of sustainable solutions for city traffic. Given the fact that Renault does not plan to sell the electric Twingo in the United States, its impact on the European market could be significant.
In summary, the new electric Twingo is not just a car, it is a manifesto. A manifesto that demonstrates how innovation can renew the iconic designs of the past, making them relevant and desirable in a new era. With its release scheduled for 2026, the electric Twingo is set to become a symbol of how the past can illuminate the path towards a more sustainable and efficient future.
