The Renault Twingo: The Stunning New City Car

These days, consumers look for more in a car. They don’t simply want something at a good value, with a reliable and solid package. No, today’s motorist wants a car with style and visual appeal. In answer to this growing trend, Renault has released the second generation Twingo.

Unlike the first Twingo, which wasn’t even released in the UK because it was not engineered to accommodate right hand driving, the newest Twingo delivers on chic charm. This makes it a compelling rival for other city cars that are known for their style, like the Mini, Citroen DS3, and the Fiat Panda. Best of all? It’s available for right hand driving.

Benefits of the New Stylish Twingo

When it comes to style, the newest Twingo rivals many other city cars. But what other benefits does it offer?

• Colour and Trim Options- Prefabricated style is one thing, but who wouldn’t love the opportunity to choose their own? With the Renault, you can. A variety of trims and colour options are available to provide an air of individuality to every Twingo as it rolls off the production line.

• Economical Benefits- As with most vehicles, the steering on the Twingo is by pinion and rack. However, these car parts are powered electrically, allowing the system to weigh less and offer economical benefits.

• Updated Platform- When it comes to Renault parts, all the basics are covered, but also updated. There are disc brakes in the front and brake drums in the rear, torsion bar and coil springs at the rear and coil springs and struts at the front, and the anti-lock sports a fully equipped Electronic Brake Distribution system.

• MPL- One of the biggest benefits to owning a Renault Twingo is that, even in mixed driving conditions, the mpl, or miles per litre come close to the official figure (12.18mpl.) On average, the actual mpl is around 11.9 mpl, a thing a beauty during a time when petrol prices are still very high.

Disadvantages of Driving a Twingo

• Engine- While there are plenty of Renault parts that make up a good car, the engine is probably the most important, and with a Twingo, you only have one option: a 1.2 litre 74bhp unit. While this engine may be enough for most individuals, the lack of choice is somewhat disappointing.

• Power- Although the company claims that the car can go from zero miles per hour to 62 miles per hour in 12.3 seconds, this is somewhat of a stretch. You reach power at 5500rpms, which means achieving high speeds is somewhat of a waiting game. For this reason, the Twingo is best utilised by individuals who live in cities or small towns, where high speeds are often unnecessary.

Ready to Invest in Renault?

While there are several benefits to the stylish new Twingo, consider carefully whether those benefits outweigh the cons in your mind. Are you satisfied with less power if it means updated Renault parts? Will you trade certain car parts and engine choices for a stylish and customisable exterior? The choice is up to you.
