Product Overview

Renault Twingo III facelift is an entry-level subcompact hatchback in production from 2019. It is powered by either tiny I3 petrol engines that displaced 0.9 or 1.0 liter or an electric motor aided by a battery capacity of 22kWh.
Compared to the pre-facelift, the facelifted Twingo remains toy-like. It is ugly and poorly built, and one is better served taking the bus.

Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:
The Renault Twingo is one of the forgotten cars for sale in the city car sector. With its rear-engined layout, it sounds like it should be sporty, but while a GT model was offered, the Twingo isn't much fun to drive. Where it performs best is when it's used as a city car, where its super-tight turning circle and nippy engines deliver a drive.
