Renault Twingo (2007-) Review

Category: City Cars 4 out of 5

Summary of the Renault Twingo (2007-)

Price Range: £8,785 to £10,585

Assets

Great handling, terrific rear space, versatile cabin, very economical, lively GT version, good value.

Drawbacks

Not as cute as the original, GT engine sounds rough, interior a temple to hard plastic.

Verdict

With the new Clio upsized, the second-generation Twingo is Renault's proper supermini. It's all the car most of us ever really need, and a lot of fun with it.

Renault Twingo Review

Running Costs5 out of 5

The Twingo is well suited to today's CO2-aware world, with a 135g/km CO2 output from the Dynamique and 140g/km from the GT. Average fuel consumption figures are 49.5mpg and 47.8mpg respectively, helped by the car's sub-one-tonne mass. Insurance groups aren't yet known but will be low. Servicing should be cheap.
