The front of the first Twingo

The Renault Twingo is a four-seater microcar made by the French manufacturer Renault . It was introduced in the spring of 1993 and, with several million units to date, is one of the best-selling mass - production models among passenger cars . In Germany alone, over half a million first generation Twingo were sold.

Development history

Beskid 106

One of the main inspirations for the design of the Renault Twingo was the prototype Beskid 106 from the Polish manufacturer FSM , about ten years older , which was supposed to replace the small car 126p manufactured by FSM at the time under a Fiat license . The Beskid 106, designed by the Polish designer Krzysztof Meissner , had a mono-box room concept that was new at the time and had been aerodynamically optimized. FSM or its design company BOSMAL had the Beskid design protected, but since the car did not go into production and the patents could not be extended for financial reasons, Renault took over the concept.

In October 1992, Renault presented the Twingo designed by Patrick le Quément at the Paris Motor Show in Paris , which, with its unusual design and interior concept, was offered for almost 15 years without any significant changes.

The name Twingo is a fantasy word from the copywriter Manfred Gotta . The name should sound cheerful and original. Renault wants to combine two ( English twin ) vehicle types (small car & minivan) in the Twingo .

During its 14-year construction period in France, the first Twingo in Germany found more than 500,000 buyers. It was produced until June 28, 2007 in the Flins-sur-Seine plant ( France ); During this time, 2,478,648 units were built. After that, production continued in Colombia for the South American market until June 8, 2012. In total, over 2.6 million units of the first generation of Twingo rolled off the assembly line.

The first generation was introduced in March 1993 with an initially 40 kW (54 PS) 1.3-l OHV engine with timing chain, which had been used in the Renault 5 and various other Renaults since 1972 (C-engine). A folding roof was available as an optional extra from October 1993 at an additional cost of DM 800  .

In September 1994 the driver airbag became standard in the Twingo, followed a month later by the Twingo "Easy" with an automatic clutch system (advertising slogan at the time: "Shifting without clutch ").

In September 1995 the front passenger airbag became standard, and ABS was available at an additional cost.

The D7F engine with a displacement of 1.2 liters was installed in the Twingo from May 1996. Initially, it also produced 40 kW (54 PS) before its output was increased to 43 kW (58 PS) in August 1997 and to 44 kW (60 PS) in January 2001.

Interior concept

The interior of the vehicle can be flexibly redesigned in just a few simple steps. The rear seat can be moved in its position in three stages and can be folded completely forwards as well as folded backwards. The two front seats can be moved on a rail in the direction of travel and the seat angle can be adjusted. If you remove the headrests, you can fold the backrest completely back and get a two-meter-long lying surface flush with the rear bench, which is also folded back.

Facelift

The vehicle received a comprehensive model upgrade for phase II in the summer of 1998 (painted and modified front and rear bumpers, new dashboard in the interior and technical changes). Newly introduced in 1999 was a version called “Initiale” with leather seats, air conditioning and an optional navigation system . At the end of 2000 it was extensively modernized under the sheet metal cover (including safety technology, brakes, motor) for phase III.

In autumn 2004 the Twingo received another slight facelift (phase IV) , recognizable by the Renault rhombus on the tailgate.

In August 2004 the D7F engine with 8 valves was replaced by the D4F 708 with 16 valves. The performance of the entry-level engine remained unchanged at 44 kW (60 hp).

The Twingo I was economically successful and popular as a second car. The contemporary design, the interior concept and the folding roof , which is available at an additional cost, contributed to this.

safety

A Twingo with front and side airbags reached 2003 Euro NCAP - Crash test in the evaluation of occupant safety 23 from a maximum of 35 points, three out of five stars and ten points two stars out of four possible in the evaluation of pedestrian safety.

reliability

The 1.3-liter engines with an underneath camshaft and bumpers used until 1996 had more frequent rattling valves . Leaky coolers caused engine damage due to overheating, especially between 1993 and 1995. Until the model update in the summer of 1998, the front axle springs were likely to break, but Renault can replace them on goodwill regardless of mileage.

Special models

On the occasion of the opening of the “Galaxy” attraction in Phantasialand in Brühl , the headquarters of Renault Germany, a special model (“Twingo Galaxy”) was produced in 1994 in a number of around 200 vehicles, the identification of which was a large number of stars sprayed on, and that exclusively in the Rhineland was sold.

Greenpeace used a Twingo as the basis for the Twingo Smile study presented in 1996 .

In 1997, on the occasion of the documenta X in Kassel, the special edition Kultur Twingo was launched in an edition of 100 vehicles, which included, among other things, a season ticket for the documenta X events in the purchase price.

The second generation of the Twingo was shown for the first time in March 2007 at the 77th Geneva Motor Show . It finally came on the market in July 2007.

The Twingo II is technically very similar to the Clio or Modus . It has the same platform as this one and is almost 17 cm longer than the old model. The strongest and fastest model of the vehicle, which is available in five equipment variants, is the RS (Renault Sport) with 133 hp. Production was relocated from France to Slovenia to Revoz in Novo mesto . A diesel engine has also been offered since the model change.

The design of the front section shows the relationship with the larger Clio and is less recognizable than the previous model. In the interior, the typical central display with digital speedometer has been retained. The Dynamique, RS and GT variants are equipped with a tachometer on the steering column as standard. The steering wheel itself is height-adjustable and a non-slip shelf with a nub structure offers space for smaller items. With the exception of the basic Authentique model and the two sport versions GT and RS , which have a folding rear seat back, there are individual seats that can be slid at the rear, which enable a variable trunk volume of 165 to 285 liters when the backs are folded up.

The design of the car has been criticized as being dull and extremely conventional. Unlike the previous model, it is not designed in a revolutionary way and has a pleasant effect.

Equipment variants

All Twingo have ABS with electronic brake force distribution and brake assist , side impact protection , belt tensioners and two airbags (only with the basic Authentique model - all others have additional front side airbags, and head airbags for the front and rear for an extra charge). Furthermore, electric windows, radio central locking and an electric power steering.

  • Gordini RS (only 1.6 16V with 98 kW)

Special models

The Twingo Nokia was a limited special model that came onto the German automotive market in November 2008. This Twingo was based on the Dynamique, but offered additional technical features. The rear window and the side windows were tinted, an audio connection box offered the direct connection of a USB device, a Bluetooth hands- free system and a CD radio with MP3 function were then basically included. In addition, Renault had signed a contract with the mobile phone manufacturer Nokia to deliver the Nokia 6110 Navigator with UMTS and GPS to every car sold .

The Twingo RS is the top version of the GT sports model and offers a newly developed 1.6-liter 16V petrol engine with 98 kW (133 hp). The RS is offered in the versions "Normal" and "Cup". The track width of both axles is about six centimeters larger; In addition, the car has stiffer springs and dampers, a body that has been lowered by ten millimeters and 16-inch wheels. The “Cup” variant on 17-inch wheels is only six millimeters lower due to the flatter tires and has a longer rear spoiler. Both versions offer sport seats, alloy wheels, aluminum pedals, air conditioning, leather steering wheel and ESP with ASR (can be switched off) as standard . Curtain airbags (windowbags) for the front and rear are only available for an extra charge (380 euros).

safety

The Twingo II in 2007 reached the Euro-NCAP - Crash test in the evaluation of occupant safety 28 of more than 35 points, four stars out of five and eleven points, two stars out of four possible in the evaluation of pedestrian safety.

Facelift

On January 14, 2012, Phase II, a revised version of the Twingo, appeared on the European market. The front and rear design was revised. This version has the smiling, cute face of the previous version.

Convertible version

A hardtop coupé / convertible based on the Twingo II, previously shown in the trade press via Erlkönig-Bilder as Twingo CC , was finally presented at the Geneva Motor Show in spring 2010 under the model name Renault Wind .

The third generation of the Twingo was developed together with the Smart variants Smart Fortwo (453) and Forfour . The four-seaters are also manufactured together in one plant. The model was shown for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show 2014. At the 2013 Milan Furniture Fair , Renault showed the first glimpse of the new Twingo with the electrically powered Twin'Z concept vehicle . As part of the Monaco Grand Prix of the 2013 Formula 1 World Championship , Renault presented another concept vehicle, the Twin'Run . This is powered by a 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6 engine with 235 kW (320 hp), which is supposed to accelerate the vehicle to 100 km / h in 4.5 seconds.

In contrast to its predecessors, the Twingo III has an underfloor mid-engine in front of the rear axle and rear-wheel drive ; the installation location of the engine is unusual for a modern small car. For maintenance work, the engine is accessible via a screwed hatch in the floor of the trunk, the battery and windscreen washer tank are located under the front hood, but there is no additional storage space available. The Twingo is ten centimeters shorter than its predecessor, but the wheelbase is 13 centimeters longer. The turning circle is 8.65 meters.

Two engines were available for market launch: a naturally aspirated engine with 999 cm³ displacement and 51 kW (70 hp) and an engine with exhaust gas turbocharger , 898 cm³ displacement and 66 kW (90 hp). Both engines meet the Euro 6 emissions standard . According to press reports, the standard consumption of the naturally aspirated engine is 4.5 liters / 100 km and 4.2 liters / 100 km with the start-stop system, which is available for an extra charge .

After the Renault Clio from 2012 and the Renault Captur from 2014, the Renault Twingo was the third vehicle with which Renault's new chief designer, Laurens van den Acker , converted his new design line, which was given with the Renault DeZir, into a series vehicle.

Delivery of the Twingo III began in September 2014.

Since November 2016, the sporty version of the small car has been available as the Twingo GT , which, according to Renault Germany, has been on the market at a price from 15,490 euros. The 80 kW (109 PS) 0.9-liter turbo engine (ENERGY TCe 110) with a torque of 170 Newton meters in the rear accelerates the small car with three cylinders from 0 to 100 km / h in 9.6 seconds. So far it is only available for the GT and is based on the ENERGY TCe 90 with the following modifications:

  • 23 percent higher air flow
  • 12 percent lower intake air temperature thanks to additional air intake
  • Higher speed of the turbocharger
  • More powerful fuel pump for more throughput
  • More powerful water pump for better cooling
  • higher maximum speed of 6800 rpm

In order to emphasize the “sporty character”, an additional air inlet was installed on the left rear fender in addition to the existing inlet in the wheel arch. There is also a gearbox with shorter gradations, 17-inch wheels, double exhaust pipes, a lowered body with optimized ESP and steering with variable ratio, a reactive (sensitive) accelerator pedal and longitudinal stripes on the roof. The color magma orange can be selected as an eye-catcher. An automatic 6-speed dual clutch transmission (EDC) has also been available since March 2017 .

A facelift was carried out on the Twingo in May 2019. Headlights and front apron have been slightly revised. There is also a new infotainment system and revised engines. There are now two three-cylinder engines, each with a displacement of 1.0 liters and 65 and 73 hp. Furthermore, a turbo engine with 0.9 liter displacement and 93 hp is available, which can be combined with a dual clutch transmission.

In February Renault presented the series as a battery-powered model Twingo ZE with the electric motor from the structurally identical Smart models. The lithium-ion battery is larger at 21.3 kWh, which means that the WLTP range is 180 km. The Twingo ZE should accelerate to 100 km / h in 12.6 seconds, the top speed is electronically limited to 135 km / h.
