Renault Twingo 2014–2019 car dimensions: 3595 mm long, 1646 mm wide and 1554 mm high. Unladen weight is 864 kg. Boot space with the seats up is 188 litres.
The cabin seats four with a light airy feel and good space from the long wheelbase. Standard R&Go uses your phone in a dash cradle for nav music and calls via Bluetooth USB. Optional 7-inch R-Link touchscreen adds full nav and later Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. Manual air-con is on most trims with automatic climate control optional or on higher grades like GT and Iconic. Cruise control and lane departure warning come on Dynamique and above or as options. Rear parking sensors and reversing camera are available in packs. No automatic emergency braking or blind spot warning.
Boot holds 188 litres under the shelf or 219 litres with rear seats locked upright. Fold the 50:50 rear seats for 980 litres with a flat floor. The front passenger seat also folds flat for up to 2.31 m load length.
No official towing capacity is listed so the car is not rated for trailers. Payload is around 420 kg based on kerb and gross weights. The GT has revised sport suspension.
The cabin feels spacious and welcoming for a city car, with room for four adults thanks to the rear-engine layout that boosts interior length. Seats are enveloping and comfortable with built-in headrests. Height-adjustable driver's seat and steering wheel help the driving position. Manual air conditioning is available on most grades, with climate control as an option. An optional electric fabric panoramic roof opens the space further with little wind noise.
Petrol engines only: 1.0 SCe 70 or 0.9 TCe 90, with official combined economy from 51.4 to 67.3 mpg depending on version and Stop & Start.
Service interval every 12 months or 12,000-12,500 miles.
Four-star Euro NCAP rating from 2014 test.
Standard safety includes front side and curtain airbags, ESC, ABS with EBA, hill start assist, tyre pressure monitoring, speed limiter and rear ISOFIX.
Fuel options stick to efficient three-cylinder petrol units. The base 1.0-litre SCe delivers lively city response while the turbo 0.9 TCe adds stronger mid-range pull. Stop & Start versions cut consumption and emissions notably on the combined cycle. Real-world figures settle around 40 mpg in town and over 50 mpg on longer runs.
Servicing stays straightforward with annual or mileage-based checks. The timing chain needs no scheduled replacement, keeping costs down. Oil and filter changes form the core of routine work, with additional items like spark plugs and filters at longer intervals.
Safety kit covers the essentials across the range. Four airbags protect front and side, backed by stability control and hill start assist. The rear-engine design directs crash forces under the cabin in rear impacts. Euro NCAP awarded four stars overall with solid adult and child scores.
Living with the Twingo centres on its compact footprint and huge turning circle for easy city parking. The high boot floor sits above the engine but still offers usable space that expands well with the split rear seats and folding front passenger backrest. Storage cubbies throughout the cabin add everyday practicality.
