The 21st Century Twingo is a car with the modern buyer and their demands in mind.
Its sporty and stylish good looks combine with the largest boot space in its class ensuring there's plenty of room behind the wheel and that there's enough space for four occupants and all their belongings to travel in comfort.
New for 2012 the Twingo boasts improved styling, with a cheekier front end and the new Renault design identity, plus revised bumper, tailgate and new rear lights, the French brand’s latest model is sure to continue the characterful city car’s enduring success. 
Like the first-generation Twingo, the newcomer features an expressive, appealing front end and its dynamic, playful character is underlined by its fog lights and round sidelights which are now positioned next to the grille. The ‘eyelids’ of the headlights also contribute to new Twingo’s distinctive looks.
The new Twingo is now available in warm, original new colours called Fuchsia and Bermuda Blue – to add to the seven existing body colours - which bring a touch of light-hearted fun that’s characteristic of city cars.
At the rear, there are new lights in addition to the main cluster. Located on the tailgate, they enhance New Twingo's lines and echo the front end, bringing extra shape and punch to the car. With a rounder rear bumper and a more curved form for the lower part of the tailgate, the lines are softer. There are eight different alloy wheel options and the option of an electrically-operated fabric sunroof (available in April). 
Inside, Twingo’s bubbly side is enhanced through the harmony of colour and material. The ‘Luxe Carbon’ seats feature new patterns, with edging picked out in stylish red stitching. Unique in its class, New Twingo also comes with cruise control and a speed limiter as standard. Ideal around town and especially in speed camera-monitored roadworks, the speed limiter will not allow the car to exceed a pre-selected speed, whilst on a longer run, cruise control will maintain a selected speed. Therefore, New Twingo is as at home on the motorway as it is in the city.
New Twingo sees Renault introduce an exciting brand new collection of five roof decals. Each one is factory fitted and expresses a bold, attractive character, with the contrasting motifs offering different visual themes. 
Customers can also choose different colours for the door mirrors and tips of the protective side mouldings, with colours which contrast with the main body colour. Whether ‘radical’ or ‘graphic’, the end result will not only be entirely personal but also guaranteed to be elegant.
In the UK, New Twingo is powered by the 1.2 16V 75 engine, boasting 55.4 mpg in the combined cycle with CO2 emissions of 119g/km resulting in nil road fund licence for the first year (£30 from year two). 
On top of its high level of core equipment, Renault’s baby is available with a wide range of options. Among them are climate control, electric panoramic sunroof (with an electrically operated fabric version available from April), two Option Packs and long list of exterior customisation accessories such as Renaultsport rear spoiler, and a series of decals.
The audio system in New Twingo is also new and improved with Bluetooth functionality, together with audio streaming with USB connectivity as standard (from March). This makes it easy to play digital music and the audio system can also be used as a docking station for the latest-generation iPhone and iPod Touch®.
Since its launch, Twingo has enjoyed widely acclaimed reliability and a high level of customer satisfaction, as confirmed by a long list of studies and surveys. Germany's ADAC, for example, considers Twingo’s reliability to have ranged from ‘good’ to ‘excellent’ for several years. Meanwhile, the French magazine L’Automobile Magazine put it first in its class for the second consecutive year in its overall quality ranking published in February 2011. The magazine also stressed that “with Twingo, Renault has demonstrated its ability to propel one of its cars to the top level of customer satisfaction”.
In addition to rounding off the Twingo range, Twingo Renaultsport 133 reasserts Renault's role as a key player in the small car segment in Europe.
