Just as you might have guessed, the Dolce Vita is aiming for women drivers, with pricing starting at 11,050 euros (with France’s 700 euros eco-bonus subsidy deducted). That's because the model can be equipped with the 1.2 LEV 16V 75 or the dCi 65 engine, both of the variants being eco-friendly, as they emit 119g and 113g of CO2/km respectively.
From early November, Twingo Dolce Vita will be available with a choice of two new body colors, namely Cajou Brown (metallic) and Vanille White (non-metallic), in addition to the existing Pearlescent Black (metallic) and Glacier White (non-metallic).
But what are the French lady drivers getting from the Dolce Vita? Aside from the exclusive graphics featured on different parts of bodywork, the special edition model features black 'Pirate' wheel trims, as well as pearlescent black exterior mirror housings and foglamp surrounds.
The interior features include including chrome buttons and interior door handles, as well as a vanity mirror for the front passenger of course... Based on the Trend equipment level, Twingo Dolce Vita comes with manual climate control, electric exterior mirror and front windows, height-adjustable driver’s seat and steering wheel, independent sliding rear seats, classic Radio-CD with fingertip remote control, MP3 playback, Bluetooth and Plug & Music terminal.
However, we struggled for a while to find what is so ‘dolce’ (Italian for ‘sweet’) about it, since it looks more like an ‘emo’ ride with that black paint scheme... And why put an Italian name to a version that will only sell in France?
