Renault Twingo facelift to debut in Frankfurt

Renault has released the first image of its refreshed second-generation Twingo, which will make its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. The automaker says that the A-segment offering is the first production vehicle to feature cues inspired by the brand’s new design identity, as seen on the likes of the Frendzy Concept.

As is the case, the face gets a large dose of treatment, with a clearer demarcation of bonnet and bumper lines and a Renault logo that has been enlarged and centred in a more vertical position. There are no details, but its arrival at Frankfurt should take care of that.

        I don’t like current French cars. French E-segment cars are no longer hatchbacks… The discontinuation of Renault Vel Satis marks the end of the French large hatchbacks…
        French C-segment sedans are not for Europe (except Renault Fluence)…

    This new Twingo is a nice looking car,i have not seen the current Twingo here in Malaysia though.But i have driven the current RS version on a recent trip to England,which was an absloute cracker to begin with.True to it’s Renault Sport origin,it’s chassis is sublime and very well balanced.

    Cheers.

    Its an A-segment car, which means it is in the same class as Viva.
    Now, compare this Twingo and Viva. Just the design.
    No need to compare the features or price, since Twingo will definitely have more features, and hence pricier too.
    To me, the gulf in the outcome is almost embarrassing.
