The face of the Renault Twingo

The Renault Twingo is a small monospace car made by Renault that was first launched in 1993. The car is 3.43m long, 1.63m wide and 1.42m high. It quickly became popular in Europe due to its unusual looks and its ease of use. It is currently in its third generation of production.

It was designed under Patrick Le Quément, Renault's chief designer. Le Quément's belief was that it was a greater risk for Renault to take no risks at all, having seen its market share suffer with blandly styled cars such as the Renault 9 and 11.

Despite the car's sales success, it still lags behind the Ford Ka in the sub-B segment, partly due to Renault's short-sighted decision not to produce a right-hand drive version, meaning that official imports to the United Kingdom (Renault's biggest export market) never happened.

The Renault Modus is planned to supersede the Twingo.
