Renault Brings Back an Icon: The Popular Twingo, Now in Electric Version, Will Arrive in the National Market with an Estimated Price Starting at R$ 100 Thousand.

The Renault Twingo, a true icon among popular cars and an object of passion for many Brazilians, is returning to the market after a two-decade hiatus. Reinventing itself, the Twingo re-emerges as an electric vehicle, now with two additional doors, and is expected to arrive with an approximate price of R$ 100 thousand. This launch marks Renault’s commitment to combine nostalgia with innovation and sustainability.

Renault’s Popular Car May Arrive Costing 20 Thousand Euros

One of the most charismatic cars in history will return to the market with a retro look, reminiscent of the subcompact launched in 1992. The new popular Renault Twingo will be the cheapest electric car from the French manufacturer, positioned below the Renault 5, which is expected to cost around 25 thousand euros (R$ 130 thousand in direct conversion).

Thus, the expectation is that the new electric hatch will be launched in 2026 costing up to 20 thousand euros (R$ 105 thousand). Even though the released images show a conceptual version, Renault claims that the electric model will be very similar to this prototype.

Renault Twingo Will Feature the Best Energy Efficiency in Its Class

The LED signature in a crescent shape and the discreet front grille unmistakably indicate a reimagining. The same shape has been incorporated into the taillights, with a simple LED strip complementing the design. There is a kind of black frame surrounding the rear glass. Moreover, the door handles are hidden in a lit circle.

The brand has not disclosed much information about the electric motor and battery. However, the brand guarantees that the Twingo will have the best energy efficiency in its category, at around 10 kWh for every 100 km traveled.

In comparison with a combustion electric model of the same class, the new popular car will be 75% less polluting. It is worth noting that several countries in Europe burn coal to generate electricity. The Renault Twingo will be built on the CMF-BEV platform. In 2024, this base will also equip the new generation of the electric Nissan March. The main rivals of the new popular car in Europe will be the new VW ID.1, Fiat Panda, and Citroën e-C3.

Discover the History of the Renault Twingo

The Renault Twingo completes over 30 years since its debut to the world at the Paris Motor Show in 1992. However, it was launched in 1993 and arrived in Brazil only in 1994. Officially coming to the national market from France with a 1.2 engine of 55 horsepower, the model had distinguishing features like the sliding and foldable rear seat, which allowed for better use of interior space.

The first generation of the model was produced between 1993 and 2007 in Europe and had over 2 million units sold during its 14 years.

In Brazil, the popular car was sold between 1994 and 2003, having sold 12 thousand units during that period. The second generation was on the European market between 2007 and 2014, while the current generation, sold in Europe, was released in 2014.

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

Stored for over 100 years, the first underwater tunnel in Latin America receives a decisive boost with a loan of R$ 2.5 billion signed in April and promises to connect Santos and Guarujá, on the coast of São Paulo, in just 5 minutes.

Chinese engineers begin filling a 217-meter dam at an altitude of 3,000 meters and prepare a 2,240 MW hydroelectric power plant to integrate hydropower, solar, and wind energy in the upper Jinsha.

Giant turbines on the seabed of Scotland have been generating clean energy for nearly a decade without interruption, and now the big promise is that tidal power could solve the biggest problem of solar and wind energy: the unpredictability that no one has been able to overcome until today.

Extreme drought is already destroying harvests in Brazil, while the world approaches peak phosphorus, an essential resource with no substitute, which can raise food prices, generate global crises, and affect billions of people.

Workers were excavating a railway tunnel when they found six vessels buried under the old port of a Swedish city, with medieval shipwrecks and the remains of a ship from the 1530s preserved under the city center.

Scientists drilled the San Andreas fault to a depth of 3.1 kilometers and found talc in the active zone; nature’s softest mineral may explain why one of the planet’s most dangerous faults slides without releasing large earthquakes.

The UN’s Adaptation Fund approved nearly US$134 million in projects, but received over US$1.3 billion in proposals, exposing the size of the queue of vulnerable countries requesting climate aid without sufficient funds to meet their needs.
