Overview
- Renault confirms a starting price below €20,000 (under £20,000) as it targets Europe’s budget EV segment against low-cost Chinese models.
- The Twingo E-Tech uses a 27.5 kWh LFP battery for up to 263 km WLTP range and supports up to 50 kW DC fast charging with bidirectional V2L/V2G capability.
- A 60 kW motor with 175 Nm delivers 0–100 km/h in 12.1 seconds and a 130 km/h top speed, emphasizing city use over performance.
- Production is slated for Renault’s Novo Mesto plant in Slovenia with first deliveries expected in early 2026.
- Renault executive François Provost says prices for the Twingo, 4 and 5 could drop by up to about 15% if the EU’s proposed E‑Car rules pause new safety requirements.
