The Facelifted Renault Sport Twingo

The RenaultTwingo has a brave new face, and the changes have extended to the top-of-the-range Renault sport 133 version. It’s also slightly more fuel efficient and better equipped. As with the standard car, there’s a new grille and four separate headlamps, while this RS version has a distinctive F1-style spoiler sitting under the front bumper.

Under the bonnet is a 1.6-litre 4 cylinder petrol engine. Nothing has changed mechanically, so this hot Twingo is just as fast off the mark as its predecessor. It takes 8.7 seconds to cover 0-62mph. The Twingo costs £1,300 more than before, but at £13,565, it’s still on a par with the Suzuki Swift Sport. Economy has improved to 43.5mpg. It is equipped with electric windows, cruise control, roof spoiler, body kit and bluetooth.
