A new Renault Twingo is to arrive in the UK next month, with emissions starting from just 119g/km CO2. Priced from £10,350 on-the-road, the first models of the new city car are already available to order now.
The new Twingo boasts improve styling, revised bumper, tailgate and new rear lights. Two bright new body colours -Fuchsia and Bermuda Blue –are added to the seven existing body colours. Inside, the Twingo gains new ‘Lux Carbon’ seats with new patterns and edging picked out in stylish red stitching.
Unique in its class, new Twingo also comes with cruise control and a speed limiter as standard. Ideal around town and especially in speed camera-monitored roadworks, the speed limiter will not allow the car to exceed a pre-selected speed, whilst on a longer run, cruise control will maintain a selected speed.
Renault also introduces a brand new collection of five roof decals to choose from. Customers can also choose different colours for the door mirrors and tips of the protective side mouldings, with colours which contrast with the main body colour.
In the UK, new Twingo is powered by the 1.2 16V 75 engine, boasting 55.4 mpg in the combined cycle with CO2 emissions of 119g/km resulting in nil road fund licence for the first year (£30 from year two).
On top of its high level of core equipment, Renault’s baby car model is available with a wide range of options. Among them are climate control, electric panoramic sunroof (with an electrically operated fabric version available from April), two Option Packs and long list of exterior customisation accessories such as Renaultsport rear spoiler, and a series of decals.
The audio system in new Twingo is also improved with Bluetooth functionality, together with audio streaming with USB connectivity as standard (from March). This makes it easy to play digital music and the audio system can also be used as a docking station for the latest-generation iPhone and iPod Touch®.
An iPod-compatible radio is also available as an accessory for £235. This special audio system equally enables the use of GPS navigation through an app developed by Renault, which can also analyse the driver’s eco-performance in real time. By providing tips to keep fuel consumption down, the system helps save up to 10 per cent fuel in a practical way.
The mid-range Dynamique 1.2 16V 75 model is available to test drive now, with deliveries beginning in February.
