Renault announces sporty new top-spec Twingo
The Renault Twingo may only have been on sale for a few months but the French company has already added a new top-spec model to the range. Priced from £12,545 on the road, the Dynamique S TCe 90 offers sportier looks and slightly more equipment than the previous range-topper, the Dynamique.
As well as providing all the accoutrements of the Dynamique, including LED daylight running lights, air conditioning and cruise control, the S is set apart by an aluminium pedal set, red and black part-leather upholstery, red interior and exterior touch packs, 16in diamond-cut alloys, and black side decals. Colours are limited to Crystal White, Diamond Black and Flame Red.
Offered only with the 0.9-litre, 89bhp turbocharged petrol engine already available in the Dynamique, the Dynamique S boasts the same performance and economy figures. As before, 0-62mph takes 10.8 seconds and the top speed is still 103mph, and although that’s unremarkable, it’s perfectly respectable for a little city car.
Much more important is fuel economy, and thanks to stop-start, the Twingo returns 65.7mpg and emits just 99g of CO2 per kilometre, making it VED exempt and leaving company car BIK tax at just 12%.
The Twingo Dynamique S is available to order now and the first deliveries are expected in April.
