New Twingo sneak peek

Details right now are about as scanty as the contents of Jordan’s underwear drawer but the good people at Renault have very kindly released a single picture of the new Twingo before it is properly launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show on September 13.

This little hatchback, seen here in a particularly quirky shade of purple, is the first mass production car to be inspired by Renault’s new design language. The front end has an open-mouthed grille but the design is not as complicated as the Peugeot piehole. Meanwhile, the Renault logo on the bonnet has been boldly enlarged and centred in a more upright position.

Overall, the lines are clean and simple and it will be interesting to see what impact the new look will have on customers on the hunt for a small economical hatchback.
There are no details available yet as to what we can expect under the new-look bonnet but chances are, it will be fuel-efficient and CO2 emissions will be ever-decreasing. We’ll keep you posted once we’ve checked it out at Frankfurt in September.
