The eagerly anticipated Renault
Twingo has arrived in UK
showrooms and is on sale now. UK
drivers can finally get their
hands on Twingo in
right-hand-drive for the first
time, and Renault’s small-car
success looks set to grow even
further.
In
the UK, New Twingo will be
available in two engines and
trims, both with a sporty and
stylish feel. The Dynamique trim
with a 1.2 16V 75 petrol engine
is priced at £8,375. Manual air
conditioning is available on
Dynamique as a £525 option. The
GT with the new 1.2 TCE 100
petrol engine, which is also
available on some Clio and Modus
versions, is £9,995, beating its
nearest competitor, the Fiat
Panda, on price.
Twingo GT has the best combined
mpg in comparison to its
competitors as well as the
lowest emissions, making
Renault’s Twingo the
environmentally-friendly choice.
Both versions of Twingo form
part of a wide choice of Renault
models across most of its range
that meet Renault’s strict eco2
criteria.
Renault recently launched its
‘eco2’ initiative which focuses
on the full lifecycle of its
vehicles from design right
through to eventual recycling.
Each eco2 vehicle must meet
three strict criteria in terms
of manufacturing, emissions
(being 140 g/km or lower) and
recycling.
New Twingo is an eco2 vehicle
and beneath its sporty exterior
lurks a breath of fresh air for
the environment with a frugal,
economical and ecological choice
of engines. The 1.2 16V 75
emissions of 135 g/km and a
combined mpg of 49.5.
The new 1.2 TCE 100 engine
provides the torque of the 1.6
VVT 111 engine, the power of the
1.4 16V and the economy and
emissions of the 1.2 16V 75. New
Twingo also has the lowest
emissions for a 100hp car.
With a combined mpg of 47.8, low
emissions of just 140 g/km, a
top speed of 117 mph and 145 Nm
of torque at 3,000 rpm, the 1.2
TCE 100 offers frugal fuel
economy and a strong
performance.
Customers can also, for the
first time on any Renault
vehicle, personalise their New
Twingo to reflect their own
personality with a range of
exterior decals available now.
The fashion conscious can really
express themselves and add their
own design flair to the funky
style of New Twingo. |
