reviewed by Carbuyer

The Renault Twingo has always been a spacious, practical and good to drive city car – but it has never stood out or offered a quality interior. With the new VW up! on the scene, in addition to revised versions of the Toyota Aygo and Citroen C1, Renault has addressed this with an updated model. New headlights, a new grille, fresh tail-lights and a couple of new colours are the biggest exterior changes, while inside the dashboard comes in a new, better quality soft-touch fabric material. The revised range consists of only two models – the standard Dynamique with 1.2-litre petrol engine and the sporty Renaultsport model. While the Dynamique is well equipped, it's more than £2,000 more expensive than an entry level VW up!.
