The Renault Twingo received a facelift in 2011, which brought a new grille, headlamps and choice of colours to brighten up the range after the arrival of new city car rivals like the VW up! and Skoda Citigo. Better still, the small Renault received a spruce up to the interior that brought soft-touch plastics, a higher premium feel and gave the car a more up market presence than before. The Twingo had always been a spacious, practical and decent car to drive but now it stood out from the crowd and felt like a good car to own.
