Renault Twingo Urban Night

Renault’s city model, which stood out in the third generation with its interesting drive and engine position (rear), will soon retire. The French car company decided to offer it once again in a special edition, Renault Twingo Urban Night.

Standard equipment includes a reversing camera, wireless cell phone charging and a navigation system, and special edition markings are also visible in many places in the cabin, which is dominated by dark colors.

The Twingo Urban Night will be offered in one of four body colors (Cristal white, Quartz white, Moon gray and Diamond black). The car is decorated with several applications that distinguish it from the standard model. It rides on unique black 16-inch alloy wheels.

The Twingo Urban Night will be powered by a standard three-cylinder petrol engine with a power range of 69 hp, 89 hp and 99 hp. The price of the car will be around $ 20,000 (€ 17,300). The car can also be ordered with all-electric drive, with a price tag of around $ 31,000 (€ 26,650).

Renault 5 Prototype

After half a century, the time has come for Renault to introduce a new generation of Renault 5, called the Renault 5 Prototype. The presentation took place at the Munich Motor Show when it was said that the Prototype would go into production in 2024.

It all started back in 1972 when Renault introduced the first Renault 5 model. The task of the engineers was to develop a car that would cover the space created between the 4 and the Citroen 2CV. The car was the best-selling model in France until 1980 when Renault expanded its offering in this class.

Paying tribute to the legendary “5”, Renault has shown a willingness to bring electric cars closer to a wide range of European customers. This is exactly the role of the compact city car Renault 5 Prototype.

“I know from experience that reinventing a cult products lights a fire under the whole brand. This is a cult vehicle at a price many can afford. And this is only the beginning for the whole Renault brand, ”said Renault CEO Luca de Meo.

The original design has been retained, inspired by the world of electronics and sports. It will be equipped with a 40 kWh battery developed by Envision AESC in Douai, which should use the same charging system as the Mégane. The range of the car is currently unknown.

The fully electric car with a yellow body attracts attention at first sight. It is built on the CMF-BEV platform for small electric cars, making the Renault 5 a car at an affordable price. That would mean the Renault 5 Prototype would cost between $ 23,500 and $ 29,500.
