Overview
- Renault confirmed a target starting price under €20,000/£20,000 for the Twingo E‑Tech, positioning it as a budget city EV.
- The car uses a 27.5 kWh LFP battery for up to 163 miles WLTP, supports 50 kW DC fast charging and 11 kW AC, and offers vehicle-to-load at up to 3.7 kW.
- Output is about 80 hp (60 kW) with 129 lb-ft of torque, a 0–62 mph time of roughly 12.1 seconds, and an 81 mph top speed.
- Production is planned at Renault’s Novo Mesto plant in Slovenia, with standard features including a 10-inch multimedia screen with Google services, a digital instrument panel, and sliding rear seats.
- Launch timing remains unclear, with some reports citing early 2026 deliveries and others pointing to 2027, while Renault says EU approval of a new small-EV class could allow price cuts of up to 15%; a lower-cost Dacia sibling is also reported in the pipeline around €18,000.
