🚗 Introduction
Small cars are dying? Renault just said “Nope.”
While the whole industry keeps pushing expensive crossovers, Renault has dropped a bomb — the new 2025 Renault Twingo EV, a cheerful, efficient, genuinely affordable electric city car.
This is the comeback nobody expected, and honestly… it’s a vibe.
Let’s break down everything — design, battery, range, price, tech, and whether this Twingo really has what it takes to revive the A-segment.
🔥 Exterior Design: Retro With a Fresh Electric Twist
The new Twingo channels the OG 1993 Twingo energy — big friendly eyes, cute proportions, and bold personality.
Key design features:
- Adorable “smiling face” LED DRLs
- Funky headlamp split design
- Bright color options: Red, Green, Yellow, Black
- Hidden bonnet releases + minimalistic lines
- Wildly stylish modern-art–like taillights
- “Parisian Parking Aids” — bump-friendly bumper corners
- Up to 18-inch wheels (yeah, on a tiny EV 😂)
- At 3.79 meters long, it stays true compact. Smaller than Renault 5, slightly larger than Dacia Spring.
🧳 Boot Space: Unexpectedly Massive
This is where Twingo surprises everyone.
- Up to 360L boot with rear seats slid forward
- Up to 1,000L with seats folded
- Extra 50L underfloor storage
- Clip-on modular accessories for cargo and cabin
- Sliding rear seats = rare luxury in this segment
For a city car this tiny, the practicality is insane.
🔋 Battery, Range & Tech
Renault went with a very cost-efficient setup — 27.5 kWh LFP battery using cell-to-pack tech, reducing cost by nearly 20%.
Performance & range:
- 163 miles WLTP (≈260 km)
- Efficiency: 6 miles/kWh (insane for this segment)
- Motor: 82 bhp
- 0–50 km/h: 3.8 seconds
- Weight: Just 1.2 tons
Lightweight = efficiency = affordability.
It’s a smart approach for an urban EV.
Charging:
DC fast charging: 50 kW (10–80% in 30 min)
V2L support (power appliances)
Renault didn’t push ultrafast charging — fair for the battery size, but some may want 100 kW.
🧠 Interior: Playful, Simple, Smart
Renault once again proves that small EVs don’t have to be boring.
Cabin highlights:
- Body-colored retro interior accents
- Cute translucent hazard button (Twingo fans will scream 😭)
- Modular center console with clip-on 3D-printed accessories
- Google-based infotainment (Android Automotive OS)
- Built-in ChatGPT support
- Physical HVAC knobs (thank you Renault)
- USB-C ports
- Adjustable regen + one-pedal drive (top trim)
- Back seat space? Surprisingly good — even tall adults fit decently.

📦 Platform & Engineering
The new Twingo is the first model developed under Renault’s Leap 100 Program — full development in just 100 weeks instead of 4 years.
How did they cut cost?
- Only two trim levels
- One motor, one battery
- Shared AMPR Small platform with Renault 5
- Standardized components
- Carbon footprint is also 60% lower than the old petrol Twingo.
💰 Expected Price (EU & UK)
Renault confirmed it will cost below €20,000 (and below £20,000).
Likely price:
- €17,000–€19,000 in Europe
- £17,000–£19,000 in UK
This undercuts the Fiat 500 and matches Dacia Spring but offers way better design, tech, and range.
🌍 Will the Twingo Come to India?
As of now — no official confirmation.
But considering the rise of affordable EVs in India, Renault could explore localized production.
Still, for now it’s primarily a European-focused EV.
✨ AutoAkhbar Verdict
The new Renault Twingo is exactly what the EV world needed — a fun, affordable, practical city EV that doesn’t feel cheap.
Why it works:
- Retro energy
- Smart engineering
- Lightweight design
- Legit good range
- Under €20k
Fresh personality in a boring EV market
If this car hits global markets strongly, the A-segment might just make a comeback.
