All-Electric Renault Twingo E-Tech Confirmed From €19,490, Redefining the Affordable EV Segment

By bike_ev_admin December 18, 2025 4 min read

Renault has officially delivered on its promise of a truly affordable electric city car. The Renault Twingo E-Tech electric will launch in Europe with a starting price of €19,490, undercutting the €20,000 barrier that was first announced when the show car debuted in November 2023.

With this pricing, Renault is setting a new benchmark in the A-segment electric car market, aiming to make EV ownership accessible to a much broader audience across Europe.

Even Cheaper With Incentives: From €14,720 in France

In France, generous government incentives linked to the Energy Saving Certificates (CEE) scheme will significantly reduce the real-world purchase price in 2026:

€4,770 bonus for low-income households
€4,710 for low-middle-income households
€3,620 for other households

This brings the effective starting price down to just €14,720, making the Twingo E-Tech one of the most affordable electric cars ever offered by a major European manufacturer.

Standard Equipment: Strong Value From Entry Level

Renault emphasizes value and practical innovation, equipping the Evolution trim (standard version) with a comprehensive list of features, including:

7-inch digital instrument cluster
10-inch central touchscreen with smartphone mirroring
Connected multimedia system
Cruise control
Automatic emergency braking (AEB)
Lane keeping assist
Advanced driver monitoring system
Automatic parking brake
Individually sliding rear seats (standard on all versions)
Height-adjustable driver’s seat
Manual air conditioning
Rear parking sensors
Mode 3 charging cable

This level of standard equipment is unusually generous for the entry-level city EV segment.

Techno Version: Premium Features in the A-Segment

The higher-spec Techno version is priced at €21,090 (before incentives) and raises the bar for what a small electric car can offer.

Standard features on the Techno trim include:

OpenR Link multimedia system with Google built-in (segment-first)
Reno avatar digital assistant
Adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go
Automatic climate control
One-pedal driving
Folding front passenger seatback
Digital rear-view camera

These features are typically found in much larger and more expensive electric vehicles.

Design: Modern, Playful, and Faithful to the Original

The new Twingo E-Tech electric revives the spirit of the original first-generation Twingo, staying true to its DNA while adding a modern, electric identity.

Key design and practicality highlights:

Length: 3.79 metres
Five-door layout
Two independent sliding rear seats (standard)
Folding front passenger seatback
Up to 360 litres of boot space

Despite its compact footprint, the Twingo offers exceptional interior space and modularity, unmatched in its class.

Electric Powertrain and Driving Range

The Renault Twingo E-Tech electric is powered by:

LFP battery
WLTP range: up to 263 km
Electric motor: 60 kW (82 hp)

This setup is optimized for urban and suburban use, with one-pedal driving making daily traffic, roundabouts, and stop-and-go driving easier and more efficient.

Charging Options: AC, DC, V2L and V2G

As standard, both Evolution and Techno versions include:

6.6 kW AC charger
Charging time (10–100%): ~4 hours

An optional Advanced Charge Pack (€500) adds:

11 kW AC bidirectional charger
50 kW DC fast charging
10–80% DC charging in 30 minutes
V2L (vehicle-to-load) up to 3,700 W (220V appliances)
V2G (vehicle-to-grid) capability for home energy savings

Importantly, even with DC fast charging, the entry price remains under €20,000, a major milestone for mass-market EV adoption.
