Inovev forecasts around 75,000 Renault Twingo E-Tech vehicles sold in 2030
- Renault has unveiled the new all-electric Twingo E-Tech (A-segment), which will go on sale in spring 2026. It remains quite close to the concept presented last year but features five doors, like the latest Twingo sold from 2014 to 2024. The new model's one-box design is reminiscent of the first version presented in 1992 (which only had three doors). Measuring 3.79 m long, 1.72 m wide, and 1.49 m high, the Twingo E-Tech was designed in-house (and no longer with the help of Mercedes, as with the previous generation) in both Europe and China. The main advantage of the Twingo E-Tech compared to the Renault 4 E-Tech and Renault 5 E-Tech is that it will appeal to customers looking for a more affordable electric car (under €20,000).
- Given its low price, the Twingo E-Tech is positioned as an economical city car, hence its 82 hp electric motor coupled with a 27.5 kWh battery, allowing for a limited range of 263 km in the best-case scenario. This model is not yet the E-Car envisioned by the European Commission, as it is €5,000 more expensive, but it remains one of the least expensive electric models on the market today, although the Dacia Spring is even cheaper (€17,000).
- The Renault Twingo E-Tech is expected to lead to a future Dacia of the same dimensions and also a future Nissan. These three vehicles will be produced in the same factory, in Novo Mesto, Slovenia. Inovev forecasts 76,000 Twingos sold in 2030, plus 46,000 Dacias and 28,000 Nissan derivatives, for a total of 150,000 cars.
