Photos of the new fourth generation Renault Twingo have surfaced online giving the public a complete view of the car before its planned official debut. The images confirm that the popular city car returns as an all electric vehicle. Its design is a modern interpretation of the original Twingo that first launched in 1992. It keeps the retro appearance while using a zero emission powertrain.

The production version closely resembles the Twingo concept presented in 2023 - it retains the classic front fascia with round headlights, the short one box form and the rounded rear that made the original easy to spot. The new model has been lengthened to provide a practical five door body. After the positive reception of the new Renault 5, this shape appears to be another successful project from the company. For the final production version, designers added small changes for daily use including normal door handles, basic wheel covers plus reshaped bumpers with protective black plastic cladding.

Inside, the cabin layout follows the concept, but cheaper materials are used for mass production. Hard plastics appear on every surface and fabric covers the seats. A floating touchscreen sits on the dashboard but also a small digital cluster faces the driver. Renault sources this cluster from its sister brand, Dacia. Renault keeps physical buttons and knobs on the center console and on the steering wheel for the climate controls. Many drivers prefer those to menu screens. A yellow strip brightens the dashboard.

This Twingo will be offered only with an electric motor - it is built on the AmpR Small platform, which will also support the new Renault 5, Renault 4 as well as the next Nissan Micra. Renault has not released official figures, but the car is expected to use a single electric motor combined with a small lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery, which lowers costs.

In Europe, the Twingo will face many small electric competitors including the Dacia Spring, Leapmotor T03 and the coming VW ID.Every1. It will also rival slightly larger or still inexpensive EVs like the Fiat Grande Panda besides Citroën e-C3. Renault's CEO has promised a starting price under €20,000 before any government incentives, with lease offers that might drop to €100 per month. Full pricing and technical details will be revealed at the official launch.
