As anticipated, Renault has officially unveiled its all-new Renault Twingo EV concept, an affordable electric city car designed to bring efficiency and sustainability to the urban mobility segment. While this isn’t the first electric Twingo—Renault launched an earlier version back in 2020—the new model represents a complete reinvention of the city icon.
Price and Efficiency
The Renault Twingo EV is expected to start at under $23,000, making it one of the most affordable electric vehicles in Europe. Renault also promises exceptional efficiency, with energy consumption rated at just 10 kWh per 62 miles (100 km)—a figure that could make it one of the most energy-efficient EVs in its class.
Design and Platform
The unveiled Renault Twingo EV concept offers a glimpse of the design direction Renault plans to take for its next-generation small EVs. Compact yet futuristic, the Twingo EV will slot below the upcoming Renault 5 and Renault 4 in the brand’s lineup. It will ride on the AmpR Small modular platform, the same architecture underpinning Renault’s next wave of affordable electric cars.

Production and Launch Timeline
Renault aims to begin production of the new Twingo EV by late 2025, with the first deliveries expected in early 2026, assuming everything goes as planned. The French automaker has also emphasized its commitment to maintaining the promised price point—a notable challenge in a market where EV prices often rise before official release.
Sustainability and European Manufacturing
In line with Renault’s sustainability goals, the Renault Twingo EV will be manufactured in Europe, ensuring reduced transport emissions and compliance with EU environmental standards. Renault claims the new Twingo EV’s lifetime CO2 emissions will be around 75% lower than the average European internal combustion engine (ICE) car sold in 2025.
The Renault Twingo EV concept marks a major step in Renault’s electric transition. With its affordable price tag, impressive efficiency, and European production, it could become one of the most accessible and eco-friendly EVs on the market. If Renault delivers on its promises, the Twingo EV could redefine what drivers expect from a compact electric city car.
