Renault Presents the Twingo E-Tech Electric and ‘Twingomania’ at the Brussels Motor Show

After its November 2025 reveal and December pricing announcement, Renault’s new electric city car is heading to Belgium to kick off the new year. From January 9 to 18 2026, Twingo E-Tech electric will be showcased on the Renault stand at the Brussels Motor Show alongside Clio, Renault 4 E-Tech electric, Renault 5 E-Tech electric, and Renault 5 Turbo 3E. This first public appearance will allow visitors to explore its practical, modular interior, including independently sliding rear seats, up to 360 liters of boot space, and a folding front passenger seat backrest enabling the transport of items up to two meters long.

To mark the occasion, Twingo E-Tech electric will be presented together with the six mobility objects in the “Twingomania” program. Developed by European startups focused on sustainable mobility, these designs look toward a more responsible future while preserving the enjoyment of stylish travel. Each incorporates visual themes from Twingo E-Tech electric, such as the Absolute Green color and the distinctive headlamp arch.

The six objects include: the ultra-compact Twingo Elwing electric skateboard; Twingo Mo-Jet electric bodyboard; Twingo Kahe multifunction electric marine motor; Pamela electric urban BMX-inspired bike; Vässla minimalist electric scooter; and Twingo Vega electric urban motorbike. Together, they express new forms of mobility in the spirit of Twingomania.

This year will also feature additional Twingo celebrations. Twingo Expo will open in spring at “le défilé Renault – the Carwalk” on the Champs-Élysées in Paris, followed by the Twingo Festival from June 18 to 21, featuring live music and events. Journalists will conduct international road tests in spring to evaluate performance including its 60 kW motor, 27.5 kWh LFP battery, and 263 km WLTP range, as well as its connected onboard experience and versatile interior.

Twingo E-Tech electric will also appear at the Roland-Garros French Open as part of Renault’s official partnership. The model brings the original Twingo spirit into a contemporary, fully electric format, combining affordability and everyday practicality. Pricing begins at €19,490 for the Evolution version before incentives, equipped with key convenience and safety technologies, while the Techno version starts at €21,200 with additional premium features. Both versions include a 6.6 kW AC charger as standard, with optional Advanced Charge capability adding 11 kW AC bidirectional charging and 50 kW DC fast charging.

Renault cars are sold globally, with major markets in Europe (especially France, Italy, Spain, UK), Latin America (Brazil, Argentina, Colombia), North Africa (Morocco), and South Korea, focusing on new models outside Europe as part of its “International Game Plan 2027”. While absent from the U.S. since the late 1980s, Renault maintains a strong presence across numerous countries, serving 128 markets worldwide.

Orders are now open to all customers.

Renault S.A. is a French multinational automotive company, Groupe Renault, founded in 1899, known for designing, manufacturing, and selling cars and vans under its own brand, plus Dacia, Alpine, and Lada globally, focusing on accessible, innovative, and electric mobility solutions.

Renault has long been one of Europe’s most influential automotive brands, and today it stands at the center of one of the industry’s most important transitions: the shift to electrified, software-defined mobility. From city cars to commercial vehicles, the company is leveraging its deep manufacturing heritage and design leadership to shape a portfolio that reflects modern customer expectations—sustainability, connectivity, and affordability.

The brand’s current strategy is anchored in its “Renaulution” transformation plan, which focuses on value creation over volume, expanded electrification, and a clear shift toward mobility services. Renault is investing heavily in EV platforms such as AmpR (formerly CMF-BEV and CMF-EV derivatives), enabling more efficient architectures, lower costs, and competitive driving ranges. Vehicles like the Renault 5 E-Tech electric and the upcoming Twingo E-Tech electric showcase how the brand is reinterpreting iconic nameplates for a zero-emission era, combining nostalgic design cues with modern technology, compact footprints, and practical performance tailored to urban life.

At the same time, Renault remains a significant player in hybrids and commercial mobility. E-Tech full-hybrid and plug-in hybrid systems extend electrification options to customers not yet ready for full battery electric vehicles, while Renault’s Pro+ division supports business fleets with electrified vans and logistics solutions. Software-defined features, over-the-air updates, and integrated services through OpenR Link with Google built-in position the brand as both a vehicle manufacturer and mobility technology provider.

Sustainability extends beyond tailpipes. Renault is building circular economy initiatives through battery repurposing, recycling, and second-life energy storage projects. Its industrial footprint is also being reconfigured into “ElectriCity,” a network of French plants dedicated to EV production and components, reinforcing domestic and European supply chains.

Renault’s direction is clear: embrace electrification, preserve distinctive design identity, and make advanced mobility accessible at scale. As new models reach the market and legacy icons return in electric form, Renault is not only adapting to industry disruption, it is actively helping define what the next generation of mobility will look like.
