The New Twingo is surprisingly manoeuvrable in built-up areas and parking calls for only a few turns of the steering wheel.  Combined with the use of a smaller block and the positioning of the wheels at the car’s extreme corners, the rear-mounted engine also frees up extra cabin space, while New Twingo also boasts the sort of wheelbase and roomy interior more generally associated with models in the next segment up.

The New Twingo comes in a choice of four vibrant ‘pop’ colours (light blue, white, yellow and red). The front end features the brand’s new trademark styling, including an outstanding Renault logo set to a black background. New Twingo’s expressive look is reinforced by its big head lights, which are topped by the direction indicators, as well as by its LED daytime running lights which combine a hi-tech feel with an echo of the model’s predecessors.

The New Twingo’s lines give it a cheery yet robust air, while the small car’s energetic personality is further underpinned by its readily recognisable lighting signature. The originality of New Twingo’s wide glass hatch makes an important contribution to the modernity its rear-end styling, while the rear lights are a natural prolongation of the tailgate.

The New Twingo's interior will be revealed at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show on March 4.
