Renault has designed the newcomer to be fun and practical, with a range of options and a versatile interior to help it stand out. However, with competition from the entry-level Fiat 500, Citroen C2 and Ford Ka, the Twingo has a tough fight on its hands. So has it been worth the wait? We got behind the wheel of the first car in Britain to find out.
The large front headlamps and faired-in grille create a friendly face, even if the rear is virtually identical to that of the firm’s Clio. Splashes of silver trim on the door mirrors, the rear spoiler and front airdam add interest to the GT model driven here.
Open the long door and the cabin is light and airy – but it lacks some of the original’s simple charm. There are no strips of body-coloured metal, nor any chunky, bright ventilation controls.
