After its reveal in the autumn of 2025, the Renault Twingo E-Tech electric enters a decisive phase of its commercial launch.
The year 2026 promises to be particularly intense for Renault’s electric city car, which is set to take center stage through a series of public, media, and cultural events organized by the manufacturer.
For Renault, this new 100% electric Twingo is a strategic model. It aims to strengthen the brand’s presence in the electric A-segment, in a context where the electrification of urban mobility is becoming a major issue in Europe.
The kickoff will be given as early as January with a first public exhibition at the Brussels Motor Show, organized from January 9 to 18, 2026. On the Renault stand, the Twingo E-Tech electric will be alongside the highly anticipated new Clio, the Renault 4 E-Tech electric, and the Renault 5 E-Tech electric. Visitors will be able to discover its key functional assets: interior modularity, independently sliding rear seats, a trunk that can reach 360 liters, and a front seat backrest that folds down to transport long items.
This first presentation will also be an opportunity to highlight the “Twingomania” program. Around the Renault Twingo electric, six electric mobility objects developed by European start-ups will illustrate a broader and sustainable approach to mobility. These creations incorporate several aesthetic codes of the model, while combining design, practicality, and urban use.
Soon the first test drives!
In the spring, the Twingo E-Tech electric will be handled by journalists during international press tests. These test drives will allow us to evaluate its technical performance derived from the AmpR Small platform, featuring a 60 kW (82 hp) motor, a 27.5 kWh LFP battery, and an announced range of 263 km according to the WLTP cycle.
At the same time, Renault will ensure strong public visibility. The Renault electric city car will be showcased at the Renault parade on the Champs-Élysées in Paris as part of the Twingo Expo, before being honored at the Twingo Festival in June. It will also be part of the brand’s presence at the Roland-Garros French Open, where Renault is a premium partner.
