Imagine an urban electric car inspired by classic design but with a large dose of technology and sustainability. The Twingo E-Tech from Renault is a prototype full of innovations, such as parts printed in 3D, which improve both the aesthetics and functionality of the vehicle. At the Brussels Motor Show, Renault presented a preview of what this car will be, which by 2026 promises to cost less than 20,000 euros.
A nostalgic and modern design
The interior of the Twingo E-Tech is designed to be practical and functional, making the most of the space. Compartments and flat surfaces allow for efficient organization of daily essentials, and materials like stained cork for the floor offer a sustainable alternative. Additionally, the design incorporates nostalgic touches, such as upholstery patterns inspired by the first Twingo, but with palpable modernity.
Innovation in 3D printing
One of the most surprising features is 3D printing applied to various parts of the car, such as the bumper with a honeycomb pattern. This not only improves aesthetics but also reduces weight and optimizes aerodynamics, showing how cutting-edge manufacturing technology merges with vehicle design.
Functionality and adaptability to urban space
The Twingo E-Tech is a car designed for the city. With a flexible design, it offers a high degree of adaptability to passengers' needs and the urban environment. Its glass roof allows the cabin to be bathed in natural light, creating a sense of spaciousness and brightness.
Comfort and efficiency
- Rear seats with a 50/50 split mechanism for greater space flexibility.
- Storage compartments easily accessible under the dashboard and between the seats.
- Doors with wide access, facilitating passenger entry and exit.
A step towards affordable electric mobility
The Twingo E-Tech is not just an attractive retro model; it is a piece of engineering designed to be practical, affordable, and fully adapted to the needs of urban dwellers. Its goal is to offer an accessible electric option for budget-conscious buyers.
“The Twingo E-Tech is a vision of affordable, practical, and fun electric mobility for the urban landscape.”
With a target price of less than 20,000 euros, Renault aims to bring electric vehicles to a wider audience, standing out in the growing E-Tech electric range of the brand, alongside models like the Renault 5, Renault 4, Megane, and Scenic.
