2015 Renault Twingo 1.0-liter SCe 70 3-cylinder

Renault Twingo 1.0 litre SCe 70 3-cylinder

1.0 liter SCe 70: Made for the city, this 70 hp petrol engine’s torque is very responsive, for a drive which is simultaneously lively, flexible and comfortable. There is also a variant which includes Stop & Start for improved fuel economy and reduced CO2 emissions.

By installing the engine at the rear, All-New Twingo is agile and spacious without getting too big.  It is only 3.59m in length.

All-New Twingo is 10cm shorter than the previous version, yet there is 22cm more cabin space.  The secret behind this is the longer wheelbase at 2.49m.

The rear wheel drive on All-New Twingo is particularly impressive for people who are used to front wheel drive vehicles.  There is nothing to fear in terms of stability or road-holding, either.  The compact 3 cylinder petrol engines deliver punchy yet thrifty performance, and being at the back means that the driver and front passenger don't have to talk over the noise!

By moving the engine to the rear, the front wheels have more space to turn, giving a tighter angle.

All-New Twingo has a turning circle of 8.59m, which is about 1m more agile than competitors.  Very useful for tricky parallel parking in town!

All-New Twingo has a practical boot: a useful 219 dm3 rectangular space which sits flat with the boot lip since it is above the engine.  This means it's ideal for loading and unloading.

With the front passenger seat folded flat and the split folding rear seats, All-New Twingo has up to 2.2m of load length.  That's enough for a bookcase from Ikea!
