Renault has revealed a redesigned interior for its upcoming budget-friendly urban battery-electric Twingo E-Tech, which aims to be priced below $21,000.
The vehicle, initially unveiled at the Paris Motor Show 2024, makes its debut at this week’s Brussels Motor Show featuring a revamped interior, setting the stage for mass production in 2026.
Inspired by the Twingo's inaugural model released in 1992, the interior design features a nostalgic aesthetic with a floating cylindrical dashboard that reflects the iconic shape of the original vehicle.
It showcases a 7.0-inch (17.8-cm) digital instrument cluster and a 10.1-inch (25.7-cm) central multimedia display, positioned next to three buttons for the air conditioning system, along with the red hazard warning light button encased in a translucent bubble, reminiscent of the original Twingo.
The area beneath the dashboard and the gap between the front seats offer storage for bags and daily items, while a flat tray located under the cylindrical dashboard spans the entire width of the cabin, making it convenient to access small essentials.
The color selections draw inspiration from the classic Twingo, harmonizing the exterior hues with delicate accents on the front door panels and the dashboard on the passenger side. It remains uncertain if the tinted cork flooring showcased in the concept vehicle will be included in the final production, but Renault assures that this eco-friendly material boasts both resilience and longevity.
Modular seating emphasizes flexibility, featuring a rear bench that can slide and fold in two equal 50/50 segments, optimizing the vehicle's 5-door configuration. The interior is further illuminated by a spacious, rounded glass roof.
Notable convenience features comprise a front headrest equipped with a magnetic section, allowing rear passengers to securely attach their phones, as well as an elastic strap that serves as a map pocket, conveniently holding a water bottle within easy reach.
Exterior modifications feature a lowered front air intake, more compact rear wheel arch extensions, and newly designed black bumpers showcasing a 3D-printed honeycomb design.
The front door handles now lack an illuminated trim, a quarter-window has been introduced adjacent to the side mirrors, and the design of the taillights has been updated to reflect the shape of the half-moon LED headlights.
