Renault at Geneva Motorshow 2014

Renault has taken a fresh, bold look at Twingo. Twenty years after the introduction of the original, Renault is proud to take the wraps off the third generation of its small city car which has undergone an in-depth transformation. In addition to its cheerful expression, New Twingo is available in a choice of four body colours and is packed with innovations. Extensive personalisation opportunities are naturally part of the programme. Thanks to the positioning of the engine at the rear:

New Twingo is agile and boasts a turning circle of 8.65m, which is an average one metre less than that of its direct rivals.

New Twingo is particularly roomy thanks to the 13cm that have added to its cabin length, even though the newcomer’s overall length has been shortened by 10cm.

New Twingo is practical, thanks to its five-door architecture, clever stowage solutions, totally flat floor and a surprisingly long maximum load length of 2.20m. It is the only city car capable of carrying a boxed Swedish book shelf...

New Twingo’s best-in-class forward vertical field of view and high-up driving position are particularly appreciable when driving in built-up areas.

The boot conceals either a normally-aspirated or a turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine. Both powerplants are fuel efficient and deliver punchy performance. New Twingo is connected and is the only city car to offer a choice of two multimedia systems: the R & GO radio (in conjunction with a smartphone) and R-Link Evolution®. Inspired by the legacies of the innovative Renault 5 Turbo and the original Twingo, New Twingo good humouredly illustrates Renault’s small car expertise. In addition to the unveiling of New Twingo, Renault has chosen the 2014 Geneva Motor Show to present other new developments in its small car range, with the focus on some of the fields in which the brand enjoys extensive expertise, namely the world of sporty cars, electric vehicles and engine innovations. On display for the first time are:

- Clio R.S. 200 EDC Monaco GP: this limited edition targets a sporty and refined clientele. It is instantly recognisable by its black roof, black exterior flourishes, Pearlescent White or Platinum Grey metallic finish (depending on market) and richly equipped interior.

- Renault’s new Flexi Charger, a cable which allows ZOE owners to plug their electric vehicle into an ordinary household power socket. Renault has also introduced a new Z.E. Access battery lease plan with prices starting from €49 per month for low-mileage motorists.

- The new Energy dCi 160 Twin Turbo is a showpiece of downsizing and twin turbocharging. This 1,598cc Diesel engine delivers the driving enjoyment of a two-litre powerplant, but with fuel consumption reduced by 25%. The fuel efficiency of the Energy dCi 160 Twin Turbo makes it ideal for larger vehicles. It will notably be available for the brand’s upcoming top of the range models...
