Renault Twingo reviews

No doubt the Renault Twingo has a certain charm to it, helped by its amazingly tight turning circle. However, despite the effort Renault has put into designing a car with a rear-engined layout, the Twingo is actually no more spacious than other city cars, while the Hyundai i10 and Volkswagen Up are also better to drive.

In our view, the small and likeable Renault is a breath of fresh air to the city car scene and we think its retro styling and colourful cabin will find plenty of appeal with younger drivers. What's more, with a high seating potion and five-doors with easy access, we think older drivers will also find the Twingo to be a comfortable urban run around."

Appears not to sacrifice the economy - so it might be bought by buyers who are merely looking for a reasonably enjoyable drive if not sporting one in a city car. Which could amount to fair percentage of those considering the current Twingo.

The Twingo is a small, cute city car that it’s almost impossible to dislike. It looks fabulously retro in a very modern way and is much less contrived in appearance than some of its rivals. Its stance is nigh on perfect and the graphics - often an afterthought that the marketing department insisted on adding at the last minute - suit the car perfectly and look fabulous.

The interior features the sort of primary colours and Playmobile chunkiness that are de rigueur these days for small city cars; despite my reservations about companies infantilising their customers, I liked it. (Which might add weight to my claim that I’m not quite the grumpy old man my family think I am.)

Though it’s far from perfect, the current-generation Twingo feels like a proper successor to the original model introduced in 1993. It’s quirky and it oozes character, that amorphous-yet-important quality that helps separate a car from an appliance. It’s an honest and endearing machine that doesn’t try to hide its flaws. It simply makes up for them in other ways, like design and personality.

The French have always been innovators, even pioneers, when it comes to small cars. The long history Renault has - as with the 4, 5, original Twingo and Clio - is continued with the latest Twingo. But it doesn't quite achieve that innovative star.

We admire the company for going down a different layout to its rivals, but at times it's very hard to see what the benefits for the customer are. What is clear is that the design - exterior, interior and interface - are in most cases a step above what rivals offer, and that is the core aspect of this car's appeal.

The reality, however, is that many of its rivals are better to drive and easier to live with. Their interiors feel more spacious and they're easier to drive. Some of that is undoubtedly down to this engine, and we'd urge you not to dismiss the Twingo entirely, but instead try the lower powered car. At the same time, we look forward to the hotter model that is being promised, and hope it finds a bit of the fun factor this car could clearly have if tuned in the right way.

Ultimately, the TCe Twingo, despite all its design leadership, asks you to make compromises for its cause. Some will be happy to do that, and we always like to get behind products that feel special, and tread a different path. The problem is that different doesn't always mean better.

The Twingo is a cute, and practical alternative to the Fiat 500, but doesn’t beat the Hyundai i10 for value for money and driving ability.

 Performance And Price — acceleration is one of the best available in this insurance group 8. 0-60 8.7secs feels very fast. Not the quiestest car ever but was expected from a car mainly made for performance. Fuel consumption is good when driving sensibly otherwise it does use alot. Overall a hugely fun car to live with and drive I love it!!

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Pros: Fast, cheap and fun

Cons: Not the fastest car available

The Renault Twingo is a car that doesn't feel particularly rear-engined to drive, which leaves you wondering what the point is. Then you begin to appreciate the benefits. The front wheels can pivot to 45 degrees, giving the car astonishing manoeuvrability. Rotating the engine and putting it under the boot floor, gives a seriously low centre of gravity, helping both handling and packaging.

Most citycars are at their best in entry-level trims, but the Twingo feels a more assured prospect with a bit more kit in it. In fact, the plush Dynamique S TCe 90 version would be our pick, and at around £13,000, it looks reasonable value against a comparable Volkswagen up! The Twingo was always a fun choice but one that struggled as a genuine all-rounder. Renault looks to have given this third-generation car the tools it needs to give the class leaders a real scare.
